'Cinammon Spice'.

Good afternoon and welcome to the 'SIBOL' Blog,

Well there's been a lot to show you over the last few days, I do hope you will scroll down to previous posts.

We have had a beautiful Butterfly Blanket arrive from joyce28, a gorgeous Granny Square Blanket from Jayne here in the UK, and now I would like to show you a Blanket that Marilyn has put together for us. This one is called 'Cinammon Spice'. Marilyn very kindly offered to make up 25 Squares from the Ladies in our Group. I'm sure you will agree the name is perfect for this Blanket. It really has a spicy feel to it.

Thanks everyone for sending in these Squares.

The Squares are once again amazing!

Thanks to everyone that sent in Squares for this particular Blanket.

Superb work everyone thank you!

I'm just leaving you now with a photo of the 7 Daffodil Blankets that we have put together, we have the last two coming in very soon! Then I shall send them off to the 9 Marie Curie Hospices here in the UK.

I would like to thank everyone that has taken part in this special Challenge.

'SIBOL' is making and donating 9 Daffodil Blankets to the 9 Marie Curie Cancer Care Hospices up and down the Country. Two more on their way soon.

Have a great day everyone!

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!
