A bumper delivery of Bed Socks and Sunshine Blankets today!

Good afternoon and welcome!

A busy day here today and I have lots to show you.

First of all I would like to thank MarilynJG for some beautiful Crocheted Bed Socks. If you remember I have been inviting you to make small items for Christmas Gifts. So far we have had
Shawls, Wrist Warmers and now today some fantastic Bed Socks. I'm sure Residents in the Homes are going to find them very useful indeed. Thank you so much MarilynJG.

I am accepting small items which I will take to a local Home just before Christmas.

Let's take a look at them now.

These will be so warm and I'm sure they are going to be loved. Made beautifully from MarilynJG thank you so much.

Next we have 10 Sunshine Blankets made by the Ladies of the AXA Purls Knitting Group. Every so often they send me a large parcel full of Blankets and I am always very grateful to everyone. Please thank everyone concerned Susan for making them and thanks to you too for arranging delivery to me.

All of these Blankets are a great size and are so pretty! Thanks to everyone at AXA Purls Knitting Group. Thank you Susan for sending them to me.

If there is anything you would like to ask me about our 'SIBOL' project. Please email me

I'm Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net

Thanks so much

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!
