Vegetables and Leaves!

Hi everyone!

Thank you for visiting the 'SIBOL' Blog today.
I have had quite a busy week with the Craft talk on Monday and my Delivery yesterday so please scroll down and have a read.

Today I received Squares from Tina for our Vegetable and Leaves Challenge.

Our Challenges are important to the Ladies in the Group because it gives us ideas for new Blankets. The Blankets in the homes are always such talking points as you can imagine but when it has a 'theme' it is even more important. I remember some time ago when I visited St. Bernards Home, one of the Ladies loved Children and she was given SIBOL 54 'Young at Heart' Blanket. She loved Children apparently and spent many a happy hour afterwards talking about her own Childhood. This is what makes the Blankets so special.

Thanks to everyone that has contributed these 'fun' Squares for SIBOL! 'Please add note if you see your Square!'

I know everyone in our 'SIBOL' Group enjoys the Challenges and if you would like to see what Challenges are running please pop over to our Challenge Blog.

Tina has made some great Squares and I am very grateful to her.

First we have some Squares for our Vegetable Challenge, brilliant Tina.

Some for our Leaves Challenge.

I am very grateful to you Tina thank you!

Thanks for visiting today, have a good weekend!

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

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!
