Sunshine Blankets arrive today!

Good evening to you all!

This morning I received a parcel from Gill K.

Inside were 6 Sunshine Blankets that she has very kindly made and donated for Residents in Care Homes.

All of the Blankets have been made so beautifully.

Just take a look at them!

Thanks Gill K. 1099. 1098, 1097, 1096, 1095, 1094

I love decorating them with Ribbon and Gill has very kindly made the Butterflies too which she attaches for me.

Look at this one! 'I love Cats!'

A plain Granny Blanket but nevertheless it will be great for a Gent!

My favourite has to be this one! .........

Isn't it gorgeous?

Love the colours of this one too!

Gill you have some really pretty Blankets here.

Great designs and I love the colour combinations on all of them.

Thank you so much for donating them to 'SIBOL'.

I have a pile of Sunshine Blankets ready to go upstairs and will be taking them out as soon as I can.

So a Big Thank you!

End of Deliveries for this year will be

30th November so please no more Blankets after this date.

This will give me time to take them out ready for Christmas.

Thank you 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!

Important Notices

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

I'm Sue on sueatpigsty@virginmedia.com

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!
