Just after lunch Robebe over on RAVELRY asked her Husband if he would drop some items off for our project as he was passing through Birmingham. I was amazed at the selection of warm items inside the two bags. Just take a look at all of these. Everything you could possibly imagine for our Residents.[

Where do we start? Shawls I think. Absolutely beautiful thank you Robebe.

Shawls, a Sunshine Blanket and Scarves not to mention Bed Socks and Gloves! What a fabulous donation. Let's take a closer look at the Sunshine Blanket now.

So pretty made in wonderful colour combinations this is another perfect Lap Blanket for someone.

I cannot thank you enough Robebe you are very kind thinking of our Residents. Your work is amazing! I'm sure everyone stopping by will agree with me. Thank you so much.

Liztelf over on RAVELRY has very kindly shown me a pattern on the RED HEART SITE. You may be interested in making one. It's a Walker Organizer for a Zimmer Frame. If you have spare yarn why not make one when you have time. I'm sure this would be another useful item for the Homes.

I think that's about all for today. We certainly are busy this week.

Any enquries please contact me

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.

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!
