Sunshine Blanket 948!

Good morning to you all!

Welcome to our 'SIBOL' Blog.

All details about our work are over on SIBOL CHALLENGES. Here's the LINK
My address is available by email I'm Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net

Today I am very pleased to be showing you a beautifully Knitted Sunshine Blanket arriving from Linda of Chalky's World. Here's the LINK. to her Blog. The Blanket however was made by her sister in law Beverley. Now I have to tell you that Beverly hasn't Knitted for years and years and this is her first attempt at Crocheting too. She has made a lovely Crocheted edging which finishes the Blanket off so well. I'm really pleased to be acccepting this wonderful Blanket and I will be sure to go out and deliver it very soon. I am gathering Blankets for a Home near to where I live.

Let's take a look at it now.

I love the variegated Squares in this Blanket.

Thank you so much for making the Blanket Beverley and thanks to you too Linda for sending

it on to me. It's very kind of you both.

I'm so pleased to be seeing Sunshine Blankets arriving at my Home and I would like to tell

you now that this is number 948! Not long now till we reach 1,000!

Thanks for visiting today!

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!
