Hello Everyone!

I am very pleased to be showing you today SIBOL No. 59! I know one off 60! Golly, what a lot of 'Sunshine Blankets' we have made between us. Thank you Renee for the name. 'All Tidy and Cosy!'.

On July 23rd last year I received 25 Squares from 'jean nock' here in the UK.

Beautiful Colours on these Squares great for our 'Men!'.

25 'Grandad' Squares from Marion (UK) Thank you so much for your help Marion!

The Squares have been patiently waiting for me to put them together. I thought at the time they would be great for a Man's Blanket. I really love these Squares thank you 'jean nock' and I do hope you like your Blanket!

and here's your very own Slide Show! Thank you!

I also have some pretty Granny Squares to show you. These Squares arrived yesterday from Jean in the UK, but I had an extremely busy day yesterday and didn't have time to post them. I'm sure you will agree these Squares have lovely colour combinations and I just love them. Thanks so much Jean. I appreciate you helping me.

Nothing like the good old Granny! Such beautiful Squares, thank you Jean.

Thank you for visiting SIBOL 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.

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

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!
