Bumper Delivery of Knitted and Crocheted Blankets arrive today! Pop in!

Good Afternoon and Welcome!

Well what a great selection of Sunshine Blankets have been arriving at my Home this week. I would like to thank everyone who has donated to the SIBOL Group. The Blankets that you are making are just superb and I know that when I visit the Homes over the next few weeks each and everyone of them are going to be accepted so well.

SIBOL is a place where you can try out new skills but also at the same time we are doing something worthwhile for the Elderly. It's always such a pleasure to receive your work and I just want you to know that I am always terribly grateful to you. I have been busy taking photos this morning as I had a bumper delivery of Sunshine Blankets arrive from the AXA Purls Knitting Group. May I thank everyone in the Group for the work they have put into these beautiful Blankets. I'm sure you would like to have a look at them now. I must say that I have three rooms in a mess at the moment and it's a little difficult to take photos so I hope you will bear with me until next week when hopefully downstairs is finished.

It's time to show you more now......

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!

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!
