'Flower Power!'

Hi Everyone!

We are enjoying a really nice afternoon here now in the UK. I'm just popping in to SIBOL to let you see the 'Flower Power' Blanket. Each Square/Flower is from a different person. Now if you don't see your Flower Square please do not worry because it will be coming up shortly. I only have another 5 to do! Seriously they are all planned out ready to go........ I went out into the Garden to take some photos for you. First of all my Ta - Dah!!

Ta - Dah! Introducing SIBOL 15. (Flower Theme 1). Thank you very much to all the Ladies who have very kindly sent me a Flower Square! If you don't see your square it will be on the next one. I have tried to put one Square on from each person.

I think the Blanket has come out quite well. I love the 25 different varieties of Flowers we have collected from all over the World. I had great fun putting them together and I would like to thank you all for going to such a lot of trouble for SIBOL. Everyone has such wonderful ideas for Squares.....

'Flower Power' - named by bienzfive and Mrs Twins! 25 Different varieties of Flowers from all over the World, Thank you!

Let's play our Board Game in the Garden today, it's such a nice sunny warm day! Wanna join me? Friends you know what you have to do now! 'Please add note to your Square!' What fun!

Aren't they just so pretty? Thank you everyone! Have a lovely day.....

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.

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!
