Saturday's parcels!

Good Morning to you all!

We've had post this morning from 'jenn1feranne' and 'Gill'.
Thank you both very much.

Gill has sent a lovely Granny Blanket made in such pretty yarn. Gill tells me this is the first Crochet Blanket that she has made in 50 years of absence from Crochet and the Butterflies on the Blanket are her first attempt on anything else other than a Blanket. Well I must say you have mastered the Butterflies beautifully Gill and the Blanket is brilliant. It's a good size and I know it will give a lot of comfort to an Elderly person. I'm sure your Mother would be really pleased to know that you have picked up your hook again as she taught you Crochet stitches many years ago! So thank you very much indeed.

I will be taking the Blanket to a Home very soon.

Let's take a look now at Gill's Blanket.

The Blue and Red Butterfies are Gill's. I love the variegated yarn in this Blanket. It's amazing
how well they have come together!

Many thanks Gill.

Next we have another Shawl from 'jenn1feranne'.

Beautiful shades of Green in this one.

Your hook has been smoking 'jenn1feranne',

thank you so much for donating this Shawl to the Elderly along with the

others on recent posts.

If anyone is interested in making a Blanket or a Shawl you

are most welcome.

Details are on SIBOL CHALLENGES.

That variegated yarn is lovely. Makes a very interesting blanket and one I'm sure that will be loved. The shawl is really nice too.

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!
