Happiness on a Tuesday!

Good morning!

255. 'Abstract' - made and donated by The Wool Stop. Thank you!

I am very pleased to be showing you 'Abstract' this morning. It has been very kindly made and donated by 'The Wool Stop'. A beautiful piece of work in every colour you can imagine.

I love how the squares have been seperated by the various colours of yarn, really makes this so....interesting. Always something new to see!

I've given you a sneaky peep let's see some more!

Created with flickr slideshow.

Isn't it unusual? I love it.

I also received some beautiful stash Butterflies and Flowers for our blankets, these will be great to decorate with.

The 'Wool Stop' thank you so much! Gorgeous!

Made beautifully thank you!

I am also very grateful to 'The Wool Stop' for offering to make up a bag of squares. I'm sure you will agree this is another 'unique' blanket. I would like to thank everyone that has contributed squares for this blanket. It certainly has turned out so well once again. Our numbers are adding up again and I'll be going out very soon to the homes.

Thanks to everyone that sent in squares for this blanket.

Created with flickr slideshow. Our blankets are so....warm and I know they are going to be very useful again this year. Thank you very much 'The Wool Stop' I still can't believe you have only been crocheting for around 2 years! Your work is amazing and it is such a pleasure to receive it! Thank you so much to everyone else who has contributed squares for 'Meadow Spring Meadow' without you we couldn't make these wonderful blankets! It's nice to bring smiles to the faces of the Elderly with your help, thank you! x Sue x

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

www.sibolchallenges.blogspot.com

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!
