A Sunshine Blanket all the way from Spain today!

Hi everyone!

Don't you just love Blankets tied up with Ribbon and pretty Butterflies! I love receiving your donations for Residents in Care Homes and decorating them ready to be delivered. I have over 20 Sunshine Blankets upstairs now so I will be looking for a worthy Home to deliver them to.

This Sunshine Blanket was sent to me by Edit in Spain. How kind of her! Edit tells me she had no use for the Blanket after making it and thought of our SIBOL project. I know an Elderly person is just going to love receiving it. What a lovely Gift. Thank you so much Edit.

Made so neatly and in beautiful colour combinations this is definitely going to be a talking point in one of the Homes.

Thank you so much Edit.

We have made such a lot of Blankets for Residents over the years and each one is shown on our Blog. It certainly gives you need ideas so please feel free to scroll back down the posts to view them or you could pop over to my Flickr photo site.

Thank you for visiting our Blog 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.

All details are on

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!
