My final Delivery of the year!

Good Afternoon and Welcome!

Today I went out on my very last Delivery of the year. 8 Sunshine Blankets to St. Michael's Care Home for the Elderly in Olton near to where I live. I would like to thank Julie for accepting our Blankets and also to everyone that has donated them.

The Sunshine Blankets are always very welcome in the Homes by the Residents and Julie would like me to thank you all for your kindness.

We have had a very successful year making Sunshine Blankets and Shawls and I hope that we can do the same next year. I am very eager to reach our 1,000th Blanket!

Here's Julie accepting our Blankets.

St. Michael's Care Home for the Elderly. Last delivery of the Year. 8 Sunshine Blankets. Thanks everyone!

May I remind you that I can't accept any more Sunshine Blankets and Shawls now until the New Year when we will start all over again!

Thanks to everyone for their beautiful work again this year you are all such talented Ladies. Everyone admires your work and I'm really proud of what we have achieved.

Thank you

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!
