Shawls and Sunshine Blankets new in today!

Good Afternoon to you all!

Thanks for visiting 'SIBOL' today.

I would like to thank Kate for two 'Sunshine Blankets' received today. It really is very kind of you to take time out to make these 'Sunshine Blankets' for the Elderly. I've taken some photos for you.

Do you know I think this would look lovely on the back of a chair in

a Home.

Love the colour of the yarn too.

Great colours in the next one too! I've decorated with our usual 'SIBOL' Butterflies and Ribbon.

What a lovely gift for someone!

I would also like to thank Kate's Mother for sending in a bag of Ribbon for our

Blankets they will be very useful to me.

I had a visit from pippa and her Husband this morning. She very kindly bought me a bag of 'SIBOL' goodies!

Let's take a look now.

Two gorgeous Shawls

Made in wonderful colours. I love this pattern.

Also a 'Sunshine Blanket'. Squares were ones that she had made from the 'Art of Crochet'

a while back and some of them are from Grace. A great border finishes it off so well.

Another 'Sunshine Blanket' for the Elderly.

I'm very grateful for the Shawls and Blanket pippa also for the pretty Butterflies. Thank you!

It was lovely to see you both.

Thank you Kate too.

Thank you all for visiting today and for your continued support.

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.

All details are on

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!
