Blankets from Singapore and the UK.

Good evening,

Two beautiful Sunshine Blankets arriving today.

This Blanket has been beautifully made by PinkLemons in Singapore.

How very kind of her to send it all this way.

I know our 'SIBOL' project is very dear to your heart PinkLemons and I am truly honoured that you want to donate your beautiful work to Residents here in the UK.

PinkLemons tells me on her card that the Blanket is very special to her. It was

completed on the day that Joseph Schooling, a 21 year old swimmer won the first ever Olympic Gold Medal for Singapore. 'Truly many things are possible if only we dare to dream.' She writes.

Thank you so very much and I know this Blanket will certainly bring lots of smiles!

Next we have a Blanket from Rachel. Rachel has been working very hard to finish a Blanket just before heading off to University. Thank you so much. She has called it 'Joan' because her dear Gran lovingly helped her to complete it. Both Rachel and Joan spent many hours Knitting and chatting and Rachel really cherishes those special times with her Gran. Joan hadn't knitted for quite a while but now she's on her second Blanket. I'm so pleased that 'SIBOL' has got those needles clicking Joan! She loves it so much that now she's on her second Blanket. Thank you also for the beautiful Butterflies and ribbon packs. I'm so grateful to you for those too.

All the best with University Rachel, and please thank Joan for me.

Many thanks to PinkLemons, Rachel and Joan.

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!
