Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOL No. 65 'Sea of Daisys'

SIBOL 65 'Sea of Daisys' made and donated to SIBOL by rebekkas' goodies!

Hello Everyone!

I have a very special Ta - Dah! for you today! In the post this morning I received a box. Now on the outside it said Amazon and I thought I had received a Crocheting Book which I had ordered. But no.....I opened it up and inside was a really pretty Blanket.

I had found out earlier in the week that one special Lady 'namely' Heather 'rebekkas' goodies' was going to send a Blanket but it came so quick it took me by surprise!

Oh goodness what a treat! Heather had very kindly sent me a beautiiul Blanket which she had made herself and wanted to donate to SIBOL. Well I can't tell you how lovely it is you must look for yourselves. The colors of the Squares are just beautiful

Heather sent me two blue Butterflies and even pale blue ribbon, I am absolutely over the moon and I'm sure the Ladies in the Nursing Home are just going to love it.

Thank you so much Heather and here are some photos I'm sure you will agree it's absolutely beautiful!

Thanks for visiting 'SIBOL' 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

The project was started in Memory of my

Grandmother.

Thank you!

Important Notices

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!
