Colour arrives at HQ!

Good Afternoon!

I do hope you have all had a nice Easter.

Back to work today with four fantastic Sunshine Blankets to show you.

The first 'Sunshine Blanket' to show you today is from Marion in the West Midlands. I'm very grateful to you Marion. I absolutely love the Blanket and I know an Elderly person is too! The colours you have used are just perfect together and I love the SIBOL Butterfly in the corner Square. Let's take a look at it now. Pretty Butterflies and Ribbon decorate the Blanket for you!

It's beautiful thank you!

Liz from Loving Hands has been very busy indeed she has sent me three very colourful 'Sunshine Blankets' and I love each one. I'm sure you will too!

666 Liz (Loving Hands) Thank you it's gorgeous!

A fantastic set of Blankets Liz. What a great idea to use your un-wanted yarn! The Blankets are all so bright and cheerful just what the Elderly love.

I'm very grateful to both Liz and Marion I know how much work goes into Blankets such as these. Thank you both.

May I remind you that I am no longer accepting Squares accept from Irene our 90 year old. Postage sending out to SIBOLETTES is becoming very expensive now and the idea of actually making a Sunshine Blanket has really taken off so I think this is what we will do now. Many thanks to you all.

Thanks for visiting today!

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.

Sue on sueatpigsty@virginmedia.com

All details are on

www.sibolchallenges.blogspot.com

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

I'm Sue on sueatpigsty@virginmedia.com

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!
