What a busy day! Sunshine Blankets arrive and Delivery Day later. Part 1.

Good Afternoon everyone!

Thank you for popping over to the 'SIBOL' Blog.

Today I would like to thank Jane for sending me two Sunshine Blankets which arrived this morning just in time for my delivery this afternoon. I am so grateful to you for getting them to me just in time.
I now have 42 Sunshine Blankets ready for the off. I quickly found some Ribbon to decorate the Blankets and Jane helped me out already with the Butterflies which she kindly sewed on for me. These Blankets once again are a great size I just love them.

Aren't they lovely? I love the darker centre in this Granny Blanket. Thanks so much Jane you are terribly kind supporting the 'SIBOL' project. As I finish posting these Blankets on to the Blog I can see the Postman in my porch. I'll be back in a minute.....

I'm back and guess what four more Sunshine Blankets have just arrived from Cara! Cara your Knitted Blankets are really lovely. Very interesting Squares in each Blanket and full of exciting colours. I have quickly found some Butterflies and Ribbon for the Butterflies and have also attached a note to say who's made the Blankets. I have just taken photos too and now they are in the car ready for this afternoon's delivery to Olivet Care Home.

Let's take a look now at Cara's Sunshine Blankets! Thank you so much too Cara. Once again you have made them beautifully and I am very grateful to you.

It's very nice of you to take an interest in our project. Thank you!

Well I don't think I will be having any more Sunshine Blankets arrive today, but you never know!
I am due to leave my house around 2.00pm. Our Sunshine Blankets are packed up in the car and I'm looking forward to my visit to Olivet Care Home in Acocks Green. I'll be back shortly to tell you all about it.

My closing date for Sunshine Blankets, Shawls and Christmas Gifts is end of November.
Could you please email and let me know if yours is due to arrive at HQ many thanks!

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!
