Saturday's Blankets.

Good Afternoon to you all!

I am very pleased to be showing you another two super 'Sunshine Blankets' for the Elderly. I would like to thank Axa Purls Knitting Group for the 'centres' and Sally for making the Blankets a reasonable size. Sally very kindly stepped in after my shout out the other day asking for help.

These two Blankets remind me of Vintage Blankets. They are a good size and such pretty colours. With many thanks to everyone involved.

Here they are!

797 With thanks to Sally and Axa Purls Knitting Group.

I hope they have inspired you to pick up your hooks! I have Care Homes in need of Blankets and if you can help I'd be so happy to accept your donations. Can you imagine how useful Blankets like these would be? It's so nice that as a Group we can be creative but at the same time we are doing something so worthwhile for the older people in our Community.

We have now reached 'Sunshine Blanket' no 797.

If you think you can help in any way please feel free to email me.

I'm Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net

Thanks for your help as usual.

Hi Sue. Both blankets look lovely, but I especially love the 2nd one. Have a great day. :)

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!
