Shout Out and Sunshine Blankets arrive from Spain today!

Good afternoon and thank you so much for visiting today!

First of all I have had the offer of Squares from Singapore and I'm wondering whether any one would like to help out assembling them in to a Blanket for me? arien156 on RAVELRY has asked me. She gathered Squares from our Swap Group and also another one on RAVELRY and with having a new addition to the family she hasn't got time to make them up for us. So if you are interested please let me know and arien156 will send them to you and then if you could send them back that would be fantastic thank you.

pollypoppy (RAV) who lives in Spain has sent me a parcel today. Inside the parcel were three fantastic Sunshine Blankets for Residents in Care Homes. They have been made so beautifully and as you will see on the photos every Blanket is so different and I just love the patterns of the Squares.
All three Blankets are made in super colours too and I can just imagine how well received these Blankets are going to be. All Sunshine Blankets have complimentary Butterflies sewn on too which is wonderful too. Saves me a job thank you pollypoppy!

Let's take a look at them now.

Tied up with Ribbon these Sunshine Blankets are looking so pretty!

I think Residents in the Homes will love receiving them.

Thank you so much pollypoppy for making them and donating them to our 'SIBOL'

project especially because you live in Spain too!

Before I finish this post may I remind you that I am inviting you to make small items to give out as Christmas Gifts for the Elderly.

Bed Socks, Bed Jackets, Wrist Warmers, Fingerless Gloves, Scarves, Warm Hats, Crocheted or Knitted Slippers anything like that would be very well received. So if you have time to make just one item I would be very grateful to you. I just thought it would be something different to give out for Christmas.

Of course I would very much like Sunshine Blankets and Shawls too!

Although I don't really want jumpers and cardigans.

If there is anything else you would like to make please feel free to let

me know.

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

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!
