A bumper delivery today!

Good Evening to you all!

I had four Blankets arrive today. I would like to thank Kathy and Anita for making them.

I do hope you will have a look at Anita's Blanket it should be under this post.

Kathy has been very busy crocheting away for 'SIBOL'. She has made three beautiful Blankets for the Elderly and I am very grateful to her. These really are very striking Blankets, lovely colour combinations and perfect sizes. They certainly are going to make someone's day! I'm sure you will agree making Traditional Granny Blankets is just so relaxing. Something you can do while watching the TV without too much concentrating. I do find the repetitive motion of going round and round makes me want to drop off. It's a great way too of using that un-wanted yarn up.

Let's take a look at Kathy's Blankets now.

Then we have a patchwork Granny. Superb!

I do hope you have enjoyed making them Kathy.

I will be taking these out to the Homes in a few weeks.

I'm sure they will be very well received.

So bright and cheerful!

Thank you!

If there is anything you would like to ask me about our Blankets please mail me.

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!
