Delivery Day of Shawls today!

Hello everyone!

PLEASE NOTE THAT I CANNOT ACCEPT ANY MORE SIBOL ITEMS THIS YEAR. WE WILL ACCEPT AGAIN JANUARY 2ND ONWARDS MANY THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

I do hope you will scroll down and see what's new today! I've had such a busy day once again with lots of beautiful work arriving at my home. After lunch I decided to phone up Kingsleigh House, Birmingham to see if they would like to accept donations of Shawls. Like our Sunshine Blankets these come in so quickly and it always surprises me how hard you all work! Each one is so....different and I just love the variety of patterns.

With this one added to from 'jessiebonbon' (see previous post).

Off I went with Shawls loaded up in to two boxes.

Shawls delivered today to Kingsleigh House, Birmingham.

The Manager Alan wasn't available but two of his Staff accepted the Shawls.

Delivery of Shawls today to Kingsleigh House, Birmingham. Thanks everyone!

They are a sister Home to Olivet, who I visited last Friday. Once again the Home is a very
friendly one and I know that our Shawls will make a difference. The Lady on the Left said
how much the Blankets brighten up their Residents' rooms. They said a Big Thank You!

Let's hope we can make plenty more next year.

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!
