Lots of colour today!

Good Afternoon and Welcome!

I have some gorgeous 'Sunshine Blankets' arriving today from the Axa Purls Knitting Group.
There are eleven in total all made in such beautiful Granny Squares. Most of them are in glittery yarn which really is lovely.

I am so pleased these Blankets have arrived this weekend because I am in the process of getting our Blankets ready for the next home. I do have one in mind and I will try my best next week to get out to them.

Let's take a look at them now.

11 'Sunshine Blanket's from the Axa Purls Knitting Group. Many thanks to you all!

Your donations of Ribbons and Butterflies make these 'Sunshine Blankets' beautiful Gifts for Residents in the Homes. It's so nice to be able to match them up well.
I'm sure the Residents are really going to appreciate them.

Thank you to everyone who has made these Blankets today and thanks to you all for popping in to the 'SIBOL' web site especially new Ladies from UK Hand Knitting Association link.

If there is anything you'd like to ask me please feel free to mail me on

Bye for now xx

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

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!
