Shawls, Butterflies and a new Sunshine Blanket to show you!

Good afternoon and welcome!

Thanks for visiting 'SIBOL' today.

First of all I would like to thank 'Whatkatyknits' (RAV) for two superb Shawls. Both made in very pretty coloured yarn they are going to be very well received in the Homes I visit.

Thank you to 'Whatkatyknits' (RAV) two superb Shawls. x

It's really very kind of you to make the Shawls and Butterflies too.

I think you've mastered them perfectly.

Fluttering Butterflies made and donated by 'Whatkatyknits!' I love them thank you!

'Isrose' (RAV) from Norway has sent me four Shawls too today.

It's very kind of you to send them across the miles for our 'SIBOL' project.

Such beautiful patterns I love them thank you.

Hilde 'Isrose' (Norway) thank you so much for the Shawls. So pretty! x

Anne has sent me a beautiful Lilac and Cream Sunshine Blanket today.

It's made in lovely chunky yarn and is certainly going to give a lot of comfort to one lucky Resident.

Anne Says, " I have made it double thick on the inside and single thickness in the edging, just in case they want to use it outside or for anyone who really feels the cold in winter etc. I made it so that it could be used on top of a bed, in a wheelchair or as a lap rug outside."

I think it's a really well thought out Sunshine Blanket Anne thanks ever so much for taking the time and trouble to make it. I'm sure it worked up really quickly.

1075 'Lavender and Purls' made and donated by Anne Wright. Thank you.

I've decorated with Ribbon and a Butterfly to match and I'm really grateful too for the card that you have addressed to the person who receives your Blanket, a really nice touch. How thoughtful!

Let's take a look at the Sunshine Blanket now!

It's really strange how my days are pretty quiet and then all of a sudden Sunshine Blankets and Shawls start coming in. It's always such a pleasure to receive your work.

Thank you to 'Whatkatyknits', 'Isrose' and Anne.

I love your work and I know the Residents will too!

Thank you to Annha for the Ribbon received on Saturday.
Annha was having a de-clutter at home and she thought of our project.
How kind of you 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.

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!
