'Sunshine and Showers'.

Good Afternoon to you all!

Thanks for popping in to the 'SIBOL' Blog today. I am very pleased to be showing you 'Sunshine and Showers' which has been assembled by MarilynJG.

Thanks to everyone who sent me Squares for this Blanket.

This Blanket is no 588. I can't believe we have nearly reached 600, it doesn't seem five minutes ago that we had reached the 500 milestone.

With thanks to everyone that sent me Squares for this Blanket it certainly has turned in to another beauty. MarilynJG has taken the border from Edie Eckmans border book and I can't tell you which number because I haven't got my book at home at the moment. But the border really finishes it off so well and actually I think it would be lovely for a Babies Blanket. I found some suitable Butterflies for the Blanket and some pretty lacy ribbon to tie it up with which really goes well with the joining.

MarilynJG has Crocheted her flat braiding join in between the Squares and it looks lovely. We all have our own methods of joining and Marilyn is an expert I have to say at this particular method. All of the Blankets she has assembled for me or made herself have really worked out a treat.

The Squares really remind me of 'Sunshine and Showers' and I think it's a perfect name. Thank you very much Marilyn for your help, very much appreciated.

Well that's it for today. I'll leave you with some photos now

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!
