'Sunshine Blankets arriving from Spain!'

Good Afternoon,

Welcome to 'SIBOL!'.

I have had 5 'Sunshine Blankets' arrive this morning from Sonieta and her Mummy in Spain and I would like to thank you both very much indeed.

Sonieta and her Mummy just love making Granny Squares and how kind of you both to think of our 'SIBOL' project. These 'Sunshine Blankets' are perfect in every way for Residents in Care Homes and as the weather gets colder towards the end of the year I'm sure they will find them very useful indeed. All made in wonderful colours they certainly are a great way to use that un-wanted yarn up.

Absolutely gorgeous let's take a look at them now.

I love decorating with Ribbon and Butterflies. What a great gift for the Residents in Care Homes!

Thank you both!

Hi there! I've just followed the link from the UK Handknitting page and would to make some blankets for you. Is there a maximum size you'd prefer?
The blankets you've received so far are really lovely :-)
I will flag up your site on my blog - Lunch Lady Jan's Fabric Frenzy as many of my friends there crochet and knit!

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!
