'The Lily Pond'.

Good Morning,

I am very pleased today to be showing you 'The Lily Pond'. This Blanket was assembled by uomalley over on RAVELRY. This is a superb Blanket and the Squares mainly came in from The Kilmorack & Erchless' Craft Group in Scotland. uomalley made the pretty centre Square and the green Squares remind uomalley of lily pads in a pool so that's why she decided on the name. I think it's a great name for the Blanket.

I love the yarn used for the joining and the border and I found some pretty Butterflies for the centre and a couple too to hang on a crocheted chain. This really has been assembled beautifully and I am very grateful for your help. The Ladies in the Craft Group send me a box full of Knitted Squares every now and then and
I am always terribly grateful to them too. So thank you.

If you would like to check out uomalley's Blog here's the Link. Enjoy!

Let's take a look now.

Do you like the Slide Show?

What a pretty Blanket today!

Thanks to everyone for their help.

This morning I went to Tesco and noticed a couple of magazines I hadn't seen before.

I don't know whether you have spotted them.

Here they are.

I may be late seeing these but they may interest you.

Well I think that's it for today.

Thanks to you all!

Would you like to help us?

We no longer accept Squares but we do accept

your Crocheted and Knitted Blankets. We also

accept Knitted and Crocheted Shawls.

My address is only available by email.

Grandmother.

Thank you!

Please Note.

Donations of Sunshine Blankets/Shawls/Butterflies can be accepted between these dates.

1st March to 30th November 2016. Thank you.

I am often asked if there are 'collection points' around the country. Some Ladies find the cost of postage too expensive. There is a way round this. Why not make your Sunshine Blanket and donate it to your 'local' Care Home? If you want to contact me for a a pdf 'label' I will willingly send it to you. You can do this on behalf of our Group 'SIBOL' if that would help you. On the understanding that you would send me a photo of your blanket and the name of the Home where you have donated it to. I can then count this in to our totals.

Lists of Care Homes are available by contacting me.

This would be a great way of getting Sunshine Blankets to the Elderly in other parts of the country and not just 'Birmingham'.

If I can help you please contact me

Thank you.

The Lost Stash by Sally 'Chunky Hooker'.

Whilst rummaging in the scrap cupboard, I heard a plaintive cry " She never looks in our little bag, Can you tell me why? " A voice replied, "We're old and tatty, A little bit worn out, Our colours dull, our fibres matted, Now don't give me that pout!" "But I want to be a 'Sibolette', I really, really do! To be part of a Sibol, Made by the lovely Sue. It's my destiny, my dream, my fate!" The voice was getting higher, "I may be old but it's never too late, I'm not ready to retire". "Oh gosh", I thought, That sounds like me, Slightly worn, with a dodgy knee. So I'm off to college, A Diploma to gain And the voices of the Lost Stash? "Sibolettes" they became!
