Finished Shawl 'Squares from the States' assembled here in the UK.

Good Afternoon to you.

Although I haven't received this Shawl yet made by 'silver surfer' she has sent me a photo.

The Squares were sent to me from the States by lynnes222 and and 'silver surfer' has very kindly

assembled them for me into a Shawl. The Granny Shawl is from a pattern by Shirley Syfrett. I think one

of the Ladies on Loving Hands first of all tried it out and 'silver surfer' told me about it.

The pattern was in an old copy of Crochet World (April 2010) and I managed to purchase a copy on EBAY from the States. Inititally I did suggest making Shawls with Squares and that's why I tried to get hold

of a copy but of course please feel free to make a Shawl in whatever pattern you like Crocheted or Knitted.

Let's take a look at it.

I can imagine this laying on an Elderly persons shoulders. I'm sure it would be very warm and colourful to brighten their day!

Thank you both very much.

Welcome to 'SIBOL'

Hi I'm Sue,

Married with Twin Daughters.

I live in the UK.

With the help of my on-line friends we

are making and donating Sunshine Blankets

to Elderly Residents in Care/Nursing Homes.

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.

The project was started in Memory of my

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!
