Blankets galore!

Good Morning,

Well couriers and posties are certainly arriving at HQ today!
We have some lovely Blankets sent in from the 'Knit For Peace' Group.
Thank you very much indeed. A sack full to be honest with you and I'm sure they will be very
useful to a local Care Home. Please thank everyone for us!

Let's take a look.

Knit For Peace thank you for your donation.

There are two large double size Crocheted Blankets that are far too large for me to take photos.
Sorry about that.

I'm sure Residents in the Homes are going to love these Blankets thank you very much indeed.

We don't usually accepted Quilted Blankets/Throws but on this occasion I will. I'm sure with the cut backs in the Homes at present they will be very useful to them.

We have also had two parcels arrive from the AXA Purls Knitting Group.

I would like to thank 'modelwidow' for organising the bundle of beautifully Crocheted 'Sunshine Blankets'.

Once again they are all superb and I love the Glittery yarn used in them.

Please...thank everyone for us!

Axa Purls Knitting Group have sent 10 Sunshine Blankets thank you!

I love Granny Squares whatever size they are!

No two 'Sunshine Blankets' are ever the same. Each one is so unique!

These Granny Blankets prove that!

I also received some 'SIBOL' Butterflies for decoration thank you 'Axa Purls Knitting Group' they are gorgeous!

Many many thanks to everyone for supporting the 'SIBOL' project.

Thanks to you for popping in too!

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.

All details are on

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!
