More to see on the SIBOL Website!

Good Morning to you all!

I would like to thank joyce28 for sending over two photos of Shawls received at her home this week. They have arrived from baw1812 over on RAVELRY. joyce28 is going to take them along with Sunshine Blankets to a Care Home near to where she lives. It's nice that our Blankets and Shawls are going to other parts of the UK not just in the Birmingham area to where I live. These Shawls are stunning. Made in wonderful colours in the very popular Half Granny Shawl style they are going to be loved once again.

Thank you very much indeed baw1812!

I would also like to thank Annha for wonderful Butterflies received this morning (Top photo) and also Berryqueen for her Butterflies. Annha has attached the Butterflies to the card a great way to post them! Thank you both very much indeed.

Berryqueen thank you for the Butterflies.

Both sets are really lovely and will be very useful for the talk I have been invited to attend in July. I plan to take a Basket of Butterflies to give out to the Church Knitting Group. I am really looking forward to going to meet the Ladies. I have been told they do a lot of work for Samaritans Purse but are looking for something else to do. So I hope I can get them involved in the SIBOL Project.

May I give you some LINKS for Butterflies and Shawls?

Bye for 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

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!
