A new Sunshine Blanket and Shawl to show you today!

Good Afternoon,

A beautiful 'Sunshine Blanket' has arrived from 'KnollyKnitter' this morning. Thank you so much.
'KnollyKnitter' has made Granny Squares for her Blanket in Peach, Cream and two tones of Pink. This Blanket is so warm and it has a really simple border of Cream trebles which finish the Blanket off so well. I have added a little Flower and a couple of Butterflies and I know it is going to loved in one of the Homes. Let's take a look at it now.

Gorgeous isn't it?
Next we have a Shawl for an Elderly Resident.
Pretty Turquoise and White in this one. I love the Button!

A Shawl made by 'Knolly Knitter' - Noelle. Thank you.

If anyone would like to make a 'Sunshine Blanket' and take it to their nearest Care Home, we do have some beautiful Labels made by Maria-Jesus that you would be able to access. This might save you Postage money sending to me. All I ask is that you take a photo and send it to me so that I can keep a record and count the Blanket in to our totals. My email address is sueatpigsty@talktalk.net (Sue). Of course I would love to hear how you got on taking it in to a Home.

If you want to find your nearest Care Home. Google 'Care Homes in ?' You should get a long list come up and then you can find your nearest one. I would telephone first. May be this way we could get our Blankets to other parts of the UK?

Thank you all for your continued support. The Blanket and Shawl 'KnollyKnitter' are simply beautiful thank you so much.

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!
