About 'SIBOL' - 'Sunshine International Blankets of Love' - Blank

Back in January 2010 I had an idea. I wanted to make Blankets for the Elderly. In Memory of my Grandmother who lived to the most wonderful age of 103.

I asked my on-line Friends on Flickr and my blog 'Mrs Twins' if they wanted to donate 6" x 6" Crocheted or Knitted Squares. I was amazed because everyone seemed so interested. Soon after Squares from America arrived, and then other Countries.

I realised I needed to start an on-line Crocheting and Knitting Group Blog purely for the Blankets. This I did and with the on-line help from my Friends we decided on a name 'SIBOL' - Sunshine International Blankets of Love.

Then I decided to make a Group on Flickr.
'SIBOL' - Sunshine International Blankets of Love - Blankets for the Elderly in the UK.
This is for you to send the pictures of your Squares once you have made them so others can see.

All Squares will be assembled into Blankets and delivered to Nursing Homes. My Grandmother was very lucky she didn't have to go in a Nursing Home, she lived on her own very independently in good health and had lots of visitors. But I realise there are many people who aren't so lucky and they don't have visitors either. It is to these people our 'Sunshine Blankets' would be aimed at..
