This is the Command Warrant Officer on one of the ships we are looking after. She is showing off the quilt and laundry bag she received when deployed to the Middle East on board HMAS Darwin.  12 years on and still going strong I am assured. How good is that?

 

When she requested the laundry bags for her crew she wrote:

 

“I joined HMAS XXX this January just after the crew had been deployed over Christmas at short notice. I know that the Laundry Bags provided to the team during this period made a significant contribution to the crew’s morale, and also spruced up the passageways where personnel keep them. I see many of the laundry bags being utilised and I still carry one with me between postings that I received from AHQ back in 2014 during Operation Slipper – it’s brightness always brings a smile to my face and makes me reminisce about certain times. 

 

Myself and our CO were lucky enough to sign one of the commemorative laundry bags while we were in Sydney (we are a West based ship) a few months ago. We very much appreciate the support we receive from AHQ and recognise all the hard work that goes into making quilts and laundry bags for our veterans and Defence personnel. Thank you.

 

We have had quite the year so far, with a deployment still to come. Our crew have spent a significant amount of time away from home already and we are about to deploy overseas for the first time in three years. 

❤❤❤

Good Morning Ruth S,

First and foremost sincerest apologies for this delayed email. I could have sworn I had emailed when your laundry bag first arrived. In my excitement I must have dreamt I did. Again I am so sorry!!!

I have been in the Army Reserves for 16 years this year. My brother always told me I would see the light and move to RAAF and yet I have not. He is actually the black sheep of the family if I'm honest - everyone else went Army. Both our grandfather's and grandmother's served in the Army, our mum and dad, Aunt and Uncle - and they all met in the Army too. To keep with tradition that's where I also met my husband. You could say we all bleed green  My husband and I have 2 beautiful children who are 7 and 4. 

I digress this is not about me, I have followed Aussie Hero Quilts and Laundry Bags for a long time and one day I saw that they were looking for nominations so I just knew I had to put my brother's name forward. He is celebrating 22 years of service on 3^rd August and my sister in law and I are planning a little shindig to present him his quilt and laundry bag. He is so passionate about the RAAF, the units he has belonged to all and all the deployments he has done. His daughter who is 16 and son who is 15 have been a huge part of my life especially when they were younger as I use to be over their house most weekends helping with the kids when he was on deployment. A lot of deployments. I am so very close with my brother, he is my best friend. Even typing this tears are welling in my eyes. His career has been a scary one at times but it also makes him who he is and we just pray for his safety all the time. 

I absolutely loved reading about your story and why you are so generous with donating your time. 

I can't thank you enough for making such a beautiful and incredible laundry bag. I have no doubt once I present my brother his laundry bag he will reach out and thank you himself. 

Have the best day Ruth - take care.

Wishing you health and happiness always.

Warmest Regards,

❤❤❤

Dear Castle Hill Men's Shed,

I would like to sincerely thank you for the laundry bag you recently provided. As the Marine Engineer of HMAS Canberra, I can confirm that it has already seen plenty of use. Beyond its practical value, it serves as a tangible reminder of the strong support that communities such as yours continue to show Defence personnel.

The time, effort and generosity invested by volunteers in initiatives like this are greatly appreciated. Knowing that members of the Australian community are thinking of us and supporting the work we do means a great deal to me and my family. Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved in making the laundry bag. Your contribution is both valued and appreciated.

Thank you again for your support of Australian Defence members.

Kind regards,

Clarissa L,

Last night I received an amazing laundry bag and your lovely letter.

The laundry bag was immediately put to work replacing a plastic bag from last week's shopping. My small room is starting to look a little less like a teenagers bedroom, and more like a 35yr old Army officers room. I'm currently deployed to a very austere part of the world for 12 months, so small creature comforts and items that are a little more aesthetically pleasing go a long way in creating a 'home away from home'.

I was unaware of AHQ until this deployment, and as I talk to some of my colleagues here and back home, I find myself in long conversations with career warfighters about quilting, sewing, laundry bags, material patterns, design preferences and hearing stories about "when I was first deployed and received a quilt/laundry bag"... definitely not conversations that normally occur in this part of the world. 

These quilts and laundry bags have a very strong positive effect on morale and provide a warm daily reminder of support from back home.

Thank you so much for your support!

❤❤❤

Good afternoon Kristi B,

Thankyou for the wonderful work you did on the bag and thank you even more for the beautiful hand written letter!

Firstly I apologise for not replying in kind but it seems like the parcel went on a little adventure in AUSPOST before it got to me and I wanted to thank you straight away.

I love that my bag request made its way into the hands of another motor sport fan! Ive not had the chance to get to the F1 it always seems  to be on when I'm away. 

I was down your way not too long ago and I had to put on the layers just to survive. I could feel the weather in my bones.

I have to say I also prefer to follow drivers and not teams but my friend and I made the decision one year we should really pick a team and with Danny Rick and then Oscar back to back at McLaren I figured it was my best choice. I always say I'm not the biggest fan of Zak Brown either and that James Vowles at Williams seems like a much better bloke.

I was pretty excited to get the opportunity to get involved with the Aussie hero quilts they are always great to see around the boat when we are away.

My parents are not far off retirement and have just also bought there caravan and are looking to start on a few mini laps before their big one too!

I love that I got to be your first request and will something your way to commemorate the occasion. 

Haha I'll remember that warranty offer! 

I have a family friend that used to make the bags and quilts so I'm pretty excited to show her when I get the moment. 

Just so you know it was 19 degrees this morning and I was in a hoodie just to survive!

❤❤❤

Good afternoon Ruth S and Gayle W,

 

Firstly, please accept my apologies for the delayed response regarding the laundry bag and quilt cover.

 

I would like to sincerely thank you both for your hard work and efforts in arranging and sending these items. I only received them from the Post Office yesterday, and it was great to finally receive them after the difficulties we experienced throughout the process.

 

Both the laundry bag and quilt cover have put a smile on my face, and I am very grateful for the support and assistance you provided.

 

They will be put to good use and will continue to serve me well throughout my ongoing service in the Australian Defence Force.

 

Thank you again for all your help and dedication.

 

Kind Regards

❤❤❤

Dear Beverley F,

Please accept my sincere apologies for the delay in replying after you sent the quilt. I’ve recently relocated to the US on posting, and with my mail being redirected through family, it took a little longer than expected to reach me.

I truly don’t have the words to express how beautiful the quilt is. You have created something so special and meaningful, and I feel incredibly honoured to receive it. The colours are stunning—I absolutely love the roses and poppies—and I was delighted to see the aircraft included as well. It makes the quilt even more personal, especially as I’ve just reached 25 years of service. I would also be very grateful if you could pass on my heartfelt thanks to Joan B for her lovely embroidery; it complements your work perfectly.

Thank you as well for your letter. It was such a pleasure to learn more about you and your family. You have a remarkable and proud history, and I’m so grateful for the service given by your family and for your own dedication to educating young people. It truly takes a special person to shape young minds. My father was a primary school teacher and principal, so I have a deep appreciation for the care, commitment, and passion that teaching requires.

A little about my family—my husband and I have been married for many years. He served 14 years in the Army and has been an incredible support throughout my career since leaving the service. We have three sons, aged 22, 9, and 8. Our eldest is currently working while deciding on his future—he had considered joining the RAAF but is now exploring other options. Our two younger boys are settling into life here in the US and adjusting well. Our youngest has autism, so the transition has been a bit more challenging for him, but we’ve been so impressed with the support from his school—they have truly gone above and beyond to help him succeed.

It sounds like you’ve had some wonderful travels, and made some very special memories. Before this posting, we were in Tindal in the Northern Territory, and we bought a Jayco Expanda to explore with the kids. We were able to enjoy a number of trips together, and I absolutely love travelling that way—watching the landscape roll by and discovering new places. When we return to Australia, I’m very much looking forward to continuing those adventures. In the meantime, we hope to make the most of our time here in the US by visiting some of the incredible national and state parks. There are truly some once-in-a-lifetime experiences to be had.

Thank you again, Beverley, for your kindness, thoughtfulness, and the beautiful gift you’ve created. It means more than I can say and I will treasure it.

Warmest regards,

❤❤❤

Dear Gayle W,

I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful quilt you created for me. It is absolutely perfect & I burst into tears when I opened it. I actually have a tattoo of Simba on my wrist to remind me to be brave, so the Lion King theme is exceptionally important to me. I haven't seen the stage show, I hope you get along to see it!

How exciting that you will get to see your daughter in Sydney. What job does she do on HMAS Supply?  It feels like forever since I left the Navy 10 years ago, almost like another life!

I have two wonderful children, a 14 year old girl and an 11 year old boy who are the absolute best things in my life.  My daughter is quite the artist and my son loves everything techonology related and always has amazing facts up his sleeve.

Your life and home sound wonderful! How joyous to be travelling and otherwise be surrounded by animals. Sounds perfect!

Thank you again for your wonderful quilt, I will treasure it forever.  If ever I'm in Brisbane again, I'll get in touch and come and say hello

Sincerely,

❤❤❤

Dear Cheryl & Jan-Maree, 

I was given the extraordinary gift of your handcrafted linen bag, today, by a dear friend. She is RAAF and I am ex-Army. Our mutual journies have not crossed unitl a few weeks ago, but we are bound by service & more recently the share experience of care.

I doubt that my words, here, will do any justice to my profound thanks to you for allowing me to firstly keep this gift and for you kinds words atttached with it.

Ex-service person of my generation (Post-Vietnam, Pre-Afghanistan) in Defence are often reluctant to share accolades& recognition as we are soldiers of 'the long peace', therefore, don't see ourselves as true Veterans. So to receive this gift is as cherised as a clasp, bar or medal.

Thank you sincerely, 

❤❤❤

Dear Bev C,

 

I just wanted to thank you and Geoff for the wonderful quilt you made for me. I really couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome. It’s absolutely perfect!!

 

My wife loves it too. It takes pride of place draped over the back our wing-back chesterfield by the fire place; and the colours and themes you used work perfectly. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

 

Thanks for what you do. It really has a positive impact on morale; and we appreciate your efforts.

 

PS. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. I only just got home a few days ago and have been a little unwell. I realise the postal system went haywire once the conflict started. We had all sorts of trouble with our post. I hope the next rotation has better luck.  

 

Kind regards,

❤❤❤

Good afternoon Jan-Maree & Ladies.

 

I’d just like to say a huge thank you to yourself and the Branxton Women’s Shed ladies (Hunter Valley – God’s own country!) for the 14 laundry bags that you have made for Advanced Test & Training Environments Directorate (ATTED).

 

We have a steady stream of Australian & foreign military personnel visiting Woomera in support of weapon trials and testing. Having access to these laundry bags will no doubt assist our member’s feel like they are more a home whilst deployed into such a remote location.

 

I myself received a quilt whilst deployed to the MER in 2018/19. It is a much loved and cherished item that reminds me of my time overseas and the fact that people back in Australia where thinking of us all.

 

Thanks again for the fantastic support you and the AHQ team provide to the ADF. Your hard work and kindness is truly appreciated!

 

Kindest regards.

❤❤❤

Please see attached for a photo. Once again thank you so much for the laundry bags made by yourself and the team. 

 

We really appreciate the bags, but more importantly the fact that people outside of the ADF are thinking about our people, particularly while they are serving away from loved ones.

 

Regards,

 

Commanding Officer

2nd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment

Part 19 of the Tales of the Travelling 15th Anniversary Laundry Bags

I am not waiting til the weekend to share this series of posts and when you get to the end I think you will understand why.

The first three posts for this week are a little special as they come from one family, culminating in a very special post by Phil, father and step father to Emily and Callan, both Navy veterans. There is something special about arranging quilts and bags for multi generations in the one family and I am really pleased to say that this family is just one of many families we have looked after.

“Across my 13 years of service in the Royal Australian Navy, I was deployed on Operation Slipper in 2014 and Operation Manitou in 2017/18. On both deployments, I received a very special parcel from Aussie Hero Quilts, and I still cherish my quilts and laundry bags today.

The hours that the AHQ community put into making sure those of us deployed receive these handmade items are genuinely hard to overstate. Each one carries the message that home has not forgotten you, and that a group of Australians you may never meet are thinking of you and wish you home safe.

On deployment, that kind of reminder is worth more than most people at home will ever realise. It lifts morale on the hard days, gives you something from home to hold onto when you are a long way from it, and turns a small rack into somewhere that feels a little bit yours.

Years on from my last deployment, my quilt and laundry bag still lives in my house. What Jan-Maree and the AHQ volunteers do quietly is one of the most meaningful acts of support that deployed personnel receive, and I will always be grateful for it.”

.................................................................................................

Yesterday I shared Emily’s post. Today I am sharing the second post from this family of veterans. Today is Callan’s turn and tomorrow will be the third post in the series.

“Receiving my Aussie Hero Quilt during Operation Manitou was sensational. Not only was it a nice surprise to see the customisation my wife had worked on with the amazing team, it also added that little bit of home to my rack after long days.”

............................................................................

We have made lots of quilts and bags for family groups and so I really wanted to demonstrate that with some posts during our series of 15th Anniversary Laundry Bags. In the last two days I have shared photos of Emily Pyke and Callan McDonald and today it is the last recipient of their family, Philip Pyke OAM. Last but definitely not least, Phil has created an absolutely beautiful post for us. I love running Aussie Hero Quilts, and it truly never gets old when I hear the impact our efforts have on others but this post really touched me. Phil has scrolled back through loads of our facebook and blog posts to capcture these photos and it is a real trip down memory lane for me. This is such a gift for our volunteers so thank you Phil. Thank you so much. This really means a lot.

Till next time... keep spreading the word and happy stitching!

Request list 1 September 26

Hi all

7 weeks till the AHQ Thank you weekend including 15^th Anniversary Dinner. Have you got your tickets yet?

🧵 40,000 Reasons to Sew! 🎉

Sew much care,” “Sew many stories,” “Sew much love,” and “Sew what’s next?”

Help us celebrate an incredible milestone — 40,000 laundry bags— one stitch at a time!

At this year’s Anniversary Dinner, we would like to create a Random Laundry Bag Display to celebrate the amazing variety, creativity and generosity of our volunteers. Dig into your fabric stash, let your imagination run wild and create a random laundry bag just for the display. There are no rules about the design — this is your chance to have some fun and show off your creativity!

You are invited to make and bring along one or more laundry bags to be included in the display. Simply bring them with you on Friday night, where they will be collected and prepared for display at the Saturday night dinner.

If you would like to contribute, please let us know how many laundry bags you are planning to bring so we can prepare the display.

After the dinner, all laundry bags will be collected and returned to AHQ Headquarters, ready to be called into service and sent out whenever they are needed.

So, if you would like to be part of celebrating 40,000 laundry bags and counting, we would love to see your contribution in this very special display!

PRIORITIES

Requests number 1– 15 are the priority requests for this week for multiple reasons:

-       - the last of their group,

-       - compassionate reasons,

-        -currently deployed but cannot receive their parcels whilst overseas so we would like       them to receive them shortly after their return home. 

It would be good to get these done and to their recipients.

As always, all requests are listed in priority order. There are some new and interesting requests that have come on this week.

Please let me know if you can help.

POST BY DATE

The post by date for all Requests on this list is 6 October 26 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 name given you in any correspondence with the admin team. This helps the volunteer admin team keep a track of what’s been sent etc.

Don’t forget to take a photo of your completed quilt or laundry bag to email to AHQ with the name 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.
