Butterflies fly in from Switzerland!

Good Afternoon,

I would like to thank Bettina from Switzerland for these beautiful

'SIBOL' Butterflies.

Made in beautiful colours these really are going to brighten our

'Sunshine Blankets' for the Elderly.

The Residents in the Homes love our Butterflies and they really

are talking points for them.

So a Big Thank You to Bettina today!

Now I have another Shawl to show you.

This one was made by me!

I don't have much time to make anything myself for 'SIBOL' as

taking photos of your work and writing the Blog takes up a lot of my time.

But these Shawls are reasonably quick to make so I hope I can make a few more.

Plus the fact I've had my Daughter at home with her broken ankle.

I do hope tomorrow that cast comes off!!

Here's my attempt.

I do hope you will scroll down on previous posts there is always plenty to

see here on the 'SIBOL' Blog.

If there is anything you would like to ask me please feel free to mail

I'm Sue

Thanks for popping in today!

That's a lovely shawl you've made - well done. I wish I had more time too for crocheting!

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

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!
