A new day...... a new Shawl for the Elderly.

Good afternoon,

I would like to thank 'jenn1feranne' Scotland for a really unusual Shawl received today.
Made in red and white this is going to be such a talking point in the Home I will be visiting to
deliver it. I love the style of the Shawl I think it's come out really well. Although 'jenn1feranne'
tells me that it was an experiment and it took her longer than what she had hoped I think it was
well worth the time spent on it.

Here's the Link over to 'jenn1feranne's' project page over on RAVELRY. ''jenn1feranne' has some amazing work in her projects you might like to spend half an hour looking at everything. You're one clever lady 'jenn1feranne!'

Thank you so much for sending this Shawl to me I know it will be loved.

'jenn1feranne' thank you for the Shawl. It's so pretty. x

This one is a little bright sorry about that.

I do hope you will scroll down to see what's new. We have been busy lately.

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

I'm Sue

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!
