Today's delivery.

Good afternoon and welcome!

I have a beautiful Shawl to show you today along with 5 Sunshine Blankets. Beautifully crocheted by Gill here in the UK. The Blankets and Shawl will be very useful to Residents in local Care Homes near to where I live. I really do appreciate your help Gill and I know by your letter that you have really enjoyed making them over the Christmas period. It's so nice that we can keep ourselves busy while watching TV on these dark nights. Doing something for others is a real feel good factor.

Gill has very kindly added her own Butterflies to the Shawl and Blankets. Let's take a look at them now.

Do you know we have now made 947 Sunshine Blankets! Well done everyone. Thank you so much. These Sunshine Blankets will be going to a local Care Home very soon I have one in mind already.

Thanks once again Gill for your help.

If you are interested in helping SIBOL make Sunshine Blankets for Residents in Care Homes please do pop over to SIBOL CHALLENGES for all information. Here's the LINK.

For all enquiries please feel free to mail me.

Welcome to 'SIBOL'

Hi I'm Sue,

Married with Twin Daughters.

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!

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!
