Squares for our 1,000th Sunshine Blanket.

Good Afternoon to you all!

Thanks for visiting today!

I'm very pleased to be telling you that Squares for our special 1,000th Sunshine Blanket have started arriving now and I would like to show them to you.

The first two are from 'roamin in the gloamin' all the way from France.
They have come out so nicely, I love the colours thanks so much!

'roamin in the gloamin' thank you! 1,000th Blanket.

Then we have one from 'Hazel' at 'Quitely Stitching' here's her Blog if you would like to pop over!
LINK. Once again this has come out so well and I love the colours that you have chosen.

These Squares are gorgeous and one of the top ones will be sent on to 'theemuts' over in Belgium. She is making Blankets for cancer sufferers a very worthy cause near to her Home. All details are over on her RAVERLY page. Here's the LINK. if you'd like to help too!

Thank you both so much, I'm really pleased how these Squares have turned out.

If you have any enquiries about our 'SIBOL' project please do not hesitate to contact me.
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!
