Grannies Galore!

Hi everyone!

'Creativegranny' has very kindly made and donated this beauty! Thank you!

I am very pleased to be showing you this stunning blanket. It has been made and donated by 'creativegranny'. What an appropriate name! This blanket is full of beautiful grannies, all made in
a variety of colours. These Squares work so well together don't you think? 'creativegranny' must have
used every possible colour from her stash. The Squares are amazing. A grey border finishes it off as well as
using the colour between the Squares. I really think the grey is a brilliant choice of colour to compliment each Square.

'creativegranny' also sent me some Butterflies for our Stash along with a Square for our Snowman Challenge. A great little fella with a bright Scarf I just love him! Thank you also for the bag of Lavender I noticed the smell as soon as I opened the parcel.

A little bag of Lavender for me! :) I could smell it as soon as I opened the parcel. Thank you!

Square for our 'Snowman Challenge'. Isn't he cute? Thank you so much 'creativegranny!'

Your kindness is very much appreciated 'creativegranny' and I'm pleased you enjoyed making the blanket for 'SIBOL'. This blanket certainly has another 'vintage feel' to it, and it's rather like Joannas' 6 blankets that she put together.

Now we have to think of a name for it! Any ideas Ladies?

Let's take a look now.

Created with flickr slideshow. A lovely blanket thank you! x Sue x

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!
