Hi all,
Cath here.
Thank you all for your words of welcome and words
of encouragement, much appreciated.
Let me introduce you to one of our volunteers, Marianne.
She does the mail on Wednesdays. Marianne posts out the items that you need for
your request/s: for example, embroideries, such as the Rising Sun and images
that have been printed onto printable fabric. Marianne also posts out the
pre-paid post bags and sends off quilts to recipients. Huge thanks to Marianne
for sorting the mail each week. I think you would be surprised at just how much
there is to be posted, at times.
The dinner
is coming up and it is good to have a name tag to wear at all the events. If
you would like one this is your last chance to order one before the dinner. The
cost is $15. The bank details will be provided to you via email once you place
your order. Your name tag will be posted to you once we receive it so you
should have it in good time before the dinner. Please email me on jan-maree@aussieheroquilts.com.au if you would like one.
PRIORITIES
As
always, the requests are listed in priority order. There has been a big change over
of staff on deployments, so we have lots of new requests from places in the
Middle East.
PRIORITY
no 1. He is the last of his group to receive his quilt. All the others have
received their quilts. I would like to get his done and off to him.
PRIORITY
2-36. These are all new for members on deployments overseas.
Post
can be so unreliable to some of our overseas locations so it can take a while
to get parcels to them so the sooner they are in the mail the better.
All
the rest of our requests are listed in priority order. Please let me know if
you can help.
POST BY DATE
The post by date for all Requests on this list
is 23 Sep 25 please, or
earlier if you can manage this. If you cannot make that date, please let
me know. Do reach out if you have any timing issues and we’ll resolve one way
or the other. In fact, if you are going to be late posting it please let me
know BEFORE you post it. Also, if this time frame is too tight for you,
there are options, just email me to discuss, thank you.
Request
Information
When selecting a request, remember, you do not have
to include everything they have asked for. Footy quilts do not need to have the
logo or even the team’s name. Using the team colours is all that is required.
Simple is perfectly acceptable. A number of these requests have given you
favourite colours as well as footy teams or other hobbies and interests. It is
fine to make a quilt using their favourite colours but please include at least
one of their interests. It is fine to keep it simple.
If there is more than one request on this list that
you would be happy to do I suggest that you send me a list of requests and tell
me how many you want to be allocated….i.e. one of the following please….
There are always a few requests that everyone wants to do (and I can never pick
them) so if the first one you ask for is taken then I can allocate another from
your list if I have a list.
Any queries you might have, please don’t hesitate
to contact via the AHQ email as per usual with any queries and we will assist
you from there. We may not know the answer, but it will be our pleasure
to research and get back to you.
A reminder, when you are ready to post the quilt or
laundry bag you’ve created, please use the PMKEYS number given you in
any correspondence with the admin team. This helps the volunteer
admin team keep a track of what’s been sent etc. The PMKEYS number is
included in the address details we supply for your recipient e.g. the
7-digit number in bold below.
CPL Wanda Quilt 8765432
TG 3456
AFPO XX
ADF
Sydney NSW 2890
Also, please use the Aussie Heroes PO Box address
on your parcel in the event the parcel is Returned to Sender - the PO Box is a
safe place in the event of any mishaps with postage.
Aussie Hero Quilts (and Laundry Bags)
PO Box 248,
Cherrybrook, NSW 2126
Don’t forget to take a photo of your completed
quilt or laundry bag to email to AHQ with the name and PMKEYS of
the recipient and we can include in the Weekly Dispatches blog and add to the
tally of quilts and laundry bags sent off to the troops. I personally
love viewing the photos of those projects dispatched – so inspiring.
If you are using an AHQ supplied prepaid satchel
please kindly use the AHQ address for the return address– also for your own
packaging – if a parcel is Returned to Sender it is likely we can expedite its
journey to the recipient from Sydney.
Please also please hold on to the Tracking number
(the pink sticker that you should remove before posting – we’ve experienced
mail delays lately (haven’t we all?) and having the Tracking number is very
reassuring to keep an eye on the parcel’s progress in arriving at its
destination.
Don’t forget, if you look at today’s Request List
and need help choosing, please feel free to get in touch to discuss, we will be
ready to reply and offer guidance by email. Our goal is to help you find a
request that you will be comfortable with doing. If you need a crest etc we may
be able to post embroideries / printed fabric images or email some of these to
you.
Helpful info may be gleaned here
http://aussieheroquilts.blogspot.com/2019/07/information-post-for-those-that-sew-for.html
I look forward to seeing the photos of completed quilts and LBs when they are
ready to post off.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE copy the ENTIRE line if you
wish to nominate for a quilt or laundry bag.
For example….
Marvel Theme. Ironman
M LB 1
This is really important to make sure that neither
you nor I copy the wrong number which could lead to me giving you the wrong
details for specific request. If you find it hard to copy and paste,
please copy the line out as above.
Decoding The Columns
The first column is the theme or preferences
requested.
The second column indicates the gender of the
recipient.
The third column is as follows.
B=both quilt and laundry bag (feel free to nominate
to JUST do the laundry bag if you wish)
Q= just a quilt
LB = just a laundry bag
F= female
M= male
Please let the Admin crew know if you have any
other questions....Just email friendsofahq@gmail.com
Looking forward to seeing what you want to make
this week. Happy stitching!
Cheers,
Jan-Maree
