Afternoon Janice B, 

I wanted to take the time to thank you for the stunning quilt you made for me. Everything that you did to make it unique and personalised was spot on and greatly appreciated. There is not another one even close to it, I think I may have lost ownership of it though. My son is too a massive fan of Redbull Racing, often staying up late to watch qualifying and races.  

A little about myself. I am married with 2 children, 15 and 12, both in high school. My daughter wishes to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a flight attendant with QANTAS and my son is a keen gamer that dreams of becoming a pilot some day also for QANTAS. The last time I had a quilt made was when I was deployed to the middle east on HMAS Melbourne, whilst deployed my son was born and I got to meet him for the first time when we pulled back alongside Sydney, so it's kind of fitting that he has taken ownership of the quilt you made for me. Our family also have the travelling bug visiting various countries such as Germany, France, Italy, Japan, England, Korea, America and Singapore. We are big believers that history and nature is far better learnt with your own eyes than in a classroom. My daughter will be heading to Europe in November as part of a school trip visiting places such as the Vatican and the Eiffel Tower 

I have served in the Navy for 27 years and have so far made it to the rank of Chief Petty Officer. I am currently serving on HMAS Arunta based in Sydney. I have attached an image of my son and I holding the quilt you made. 

I am a passionate sailor and chef that's always seeking to provide the best meals for whichever team and platform I serve on. Over the years I have served on 12 ships in the Fleet and hosted countless official receptions and cocktail parties for foreign dignitaries in their countries. 

My family and I have closely followed Aussie Hero Quilts over the years and have met the founder. We were one of the first to donate to her after losing her house years ago. 

Thank you again for all that you do for our serving veterans; your heartfelt quilts and laundry bags are received with much love and appreciation. 

Regards, 

***

Dear Aussie Hero Quilts Team,

I recently received a quilt and laundry bag whilst on pre deployment. I would like to sincerely thank you for the quilt and laundry bag you made for me. Before being assigned to Op Southern Discovery, I was not aware of Aussie Hero Quilts, so receiving your gift was both a surprise and a privilege.

The time, effort, and care that went into creating these items is greatly appreciated. It is nice to know that there are volunteers supporting Defence members in such a thoughtful and personal way.

Thank you again for your generosity and for everything you do.

Kind regards,

***

G'day Beverley F,

I'm (very belatedly!) writing to give you a heartful thankyou for my quilt (the one with the red, yellow and green colours and the camel) - it's perfect and looks great on my couch now!

I apologise for my late response to your letter, unfortunately our operation (OP Accordion) had a bit of disruption to normal mail services this year; I'm writing this to you having just returned home to Darwin. 

Thanks for the details of your husband and family's service, and your kids and grandkids - you have a very impressive family! Also, one of my sisters is a special education teacher and I hear all about the challenges of that career regularly - I have nothing but admiration for anyone who has worked in that profession. 

| laughed that your round-Australia trips seemed to coincide with Navy reunions, I can't imagine how that happened! Now that I'm back I am looking forward to some travel in Australia this

year myself, preferably in the warmer months. Darwin is at the tail-end of the dry season now, and the weather is absolutely gorgeous although starting to heat up. For the rest of this year I'm looking forward to spending as little time as possible at work, and as much time as possible exploring. I'm hoping to visit the Kimberley's next year!

Thanks again for the fantastic quilt, and please keep up the great work, it's really appreciated by all the people overseas!

Kind Regards and all the best,

***

Dear JennyR,

I wanted to send you a quick message of thanks for the amazing Laundry Bag (and treats) that I received from you recently! It arrived safely and I absolutely love it!

I have to say this is not my first laundry bag through the team at ‘Aussie Hero Quilts’ but it is honestly my favourite! It’s always amazing to see how you take the themes requested and turn them into something so personal. I can promise you that it will be put to good use over the many years ahead in my job. I also had a good chuckle at the ’senior service’ comment - much appreciated!

I also wanted to express my gratitude for your kind words and support in your letter. It was lovely to read and means a lot to me, as I’m sure it does to all the service members you have supported. Making around 300 laundry bags is no small feat and it must be special to know that you have brought happiness to that many people. It was touching to hear about your family’s experience in the military as well.  What a special and sobering moment it must have been to speak at each service you attended. 

I want to extend my own thanks for your family’s service.

Thank you for the brief background on your life! It is an awesome spot to live. It sounds like your family has a deep connection with caring for others in many ways, both human and animal alike. 62 dogs fostered is amazing and thank you for all the military working dogs you have fostered within your lifetime.

To give you a brief background on myself, I grew up in Port Stephens, NSW. I lived there until I was almost 22 years old with my mum, dad, brother and sister. In my early adult years, I worked as a lifeguard on the beaches in the local region and started a part-time tiling apprenticeship with my dad. Whilst I enjoyed that time, I always knew I wanted to do something either military or emergency services related, namely a firefighter at that point. I am glad I landed in the Navy though! I love to surf, hike and go camping when I can but I have been a bit slack with organising some trips around work lately. I have been posted to Sydney, Canberra and Newcastle along with spending quite some time overseas deployed. Although I am in the Navy, I have been thoroughly enjoying working with my RAAF counterparts and learning a whole new service and the quirks that come along with it.

I live with my partner and our fur baby Wilbur, a rescue cat from the local RSPCA. My partner is an avid animal lover herself and is regularly trying to convince me to get a second cat or a dog  (I don’t think we have the space)! We both met in Sydney and she followed me up here to support my career which was very much appreciated. However, she is enjoying the change of pace and scenery. By the way, she is a self-proclaimed ‘chocolate addict’ and you happened to send me one of her favourite chocolate bars! It was shared and enjoyed by the both of us!

I love my career and being in Defence is quite unique. It isn’t just a job; it is a lifestyle and one that is exactly what I was seeking. Again, thank you for all the excellent work you do and I hope the rest of your year is also filled with health and happiness.

Sincerely, 

***

Good morning Kristie H,

 

I am just writing you today to tell you how happy I was to receive the laundry bag you made. There was a large variety of bags spread out onboard my ship for us to choose from, but my eyes were drawn straight to yours with the meat pies surrounded by green.

 

I have been in the Navy for close to 20 years now and despite all the deployments I’ve been on, I’ve never been lucky enough to be on a ship that has received bags, so everyone I saw who had one made me jealous! Now that I finally have one of my own I will ensure I treat it with great care so I can show it off on all my future ships!

 

Everyone onboard had a smile on their faces yesterday going through them all and picking which suited them the best. So thank you to yourself and everyone else who does what you do it is very much appreciated as we begin our current deployment.

Very much thanks,

***

Good afternoon Rita C,

 

I would just like to say thank you for the bag.  I have been in the Navy for 40 years and have never had the pleasure of receiving a bag or a quilt.

 

Thank You very Much it is greatly appreciated.

 

Kind Regards,

***

Hello Rachel B,

 

I would like to say the biggest of thanks for the laundry bag that you have created.

 

When someone said they had the perfect one for me and handed to me I was happy to see it was a gaming bag. When unfolding the bag my face lit up like a Christmas tree to see Fortnite all over it.

 

As someone who playing videos and enjoys playing Fortnite I am very happy with the laundry bag that I have selected. Thank you again.

 

Kind Regards,

***

Good evening Melissa G,

 

I am currently deployed overseas with the Army and received a lovely laundry bag accompanied by your kind letter.

Whether it was destiny or silly luck, I raced and rode dirtbikes all my life prior to joining the army and have now received a lovely laundry bag with dirtbikes all over it.

I just thought I would flick you this email to send my appreciation to you from myself and my partner back home for this wonderful gesture, she too thought it was a lovely coincidence.

Where I am currently deployed it is rather humid and hot, so I find myself doing laundry more days than not, so this will come in handy every day.

This gift was a lovely gesture and I am sure that all of the team over here were pleasantly surprised to be handed these.

We appreciate your support and thoughts and I hope this email finds you,

Kind regards,

***

Hi Jan-Maree,

 

Thank you so much for my quilt and laundry bag I love them both. All the time and effort that’s been put into it is amazing.

 

I’m so sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you we’ve been very busy onboard but they have been with me the whole time.

 

King regards

Hi Rita C,

I've just received your laundry bag. 

I have been in the Navy for over 17 years. 

I grew up with Harry Potter and was a similar age to the character's as each book was released, so your laundry bag seemed very fitting. My daughter is now just coming to an age where she can read and appreciate the books too. 

Although I have been in the Navy for several years, this is the first time I've had the opportunity to receive something from Aussie Hero Quilts. It's a fantastic feeling to receive something donated out of pure love and care for the people who I enlisted to serve for. Its also refreshing looking around my sleeping area and seeing something that is not military issue. 

Thank you for all your hard work and tenacity in what seems like a huge number of donations to support members serving or served. I'm unsure of how many replies you must get but it's genuinely appreciated. 

Thank you...

Until next week keep your letters, emails and photos coming in.  Wednesdays would be so totally boring without them!

Part 24 of the Tales of the Traveling 15th Anniversary Laundry Bags

 Another week of the Tales of the Travelling 15th Anniversary laundry bag... enjoy! 

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

Today's post features a couple who work together on Aussie Hero Quilts and bags. What is special about them is that as soon as they finish a request they contact me for the next by writing "What do you want me to do next?" What is extra special is that they take on the quilts that others won't. Maybe they want an usuaul image or theme that is not easy to do. Joy and Allan, with the help of their extended family have never even come close to letting me down. They are a pretty special couple.

"Hi, My name is Joy and I have dabbled in many crafts from a young age. Over the years I have contributed to many community projects. I found a love of quilting in 2009 when I made quilt from my first grandchild.nbsp; By 2016 the family complained they were drowning in quilts. I went looking for an outlet for my quilting obsession. I discovered Aussie Hero Quilts by accident one day while scrolling the internet. I initially thought I would start with one quilt and see if I liked the experience.

Ten years, 306 Quilts and 200 laundry bags later I think I am hooked. A few years ago, Allan, my husband, became involved painting many requests that were too difficult to applique or there was no fabric was available for. Since then Jan-Maree regularly sends me tricky requests that keep quilting for AHQ challenging and interesting. Cheers Joy

Hi my name is Allan Hodges and this is my AHQ story. It all started when my dear wife asked if I could paint an easy small picture on a piece of material for her to include on a quilt she was making for AHQ. That simple task has developed into some very complex designs over the past 4 years and there is now hardly a quilt coming out of Joys sewing room which does not have some of my artwork on it.

I have never been in the services, but, I have lived all my life in the Navy town of Bomaderry (Nowra) in NSW and I am proud to be able to support all the services by giving some of my time to AHQ. I enjoy the challenge of painting something out of the ordinary and getting it to look like it is supposed too. I often call and ask my grandchildren if they can tell me what I have created and most of the time I seem to manage a positive reply.

To all the volunteers associated with AHQ keep up your great work.

Regards Allan Hodges"

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

“In 2016, myself and 220 others deployed to the Middle East on HMAS Darwin, on a seven month deployment. During the deployment, Aussie Hero Quilts sent us fantastic individualised Quilts, reminding us of the support we had back in the Australian community. The effect on the morale of the crew when receiving the Quilts can never be understated, providing a genuine lift while away from family.

Bravo Zulu Distilling is a veteran owned and operated business, proudly supporting Aussie Hero Quilts. Thank you to all for what you do supporting past and present ADF members.”

Note, if you can't make it to the 15th Anniversary Dinner then you can still buy some of the Aussie Hero Quilts 15th Anniversary Gin by Bravo Zulu Distillery - https://lnkd.in/gjfPtVJn

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

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. “Happy 15th Anniversary AHQ! What a wonderful milestone for the AHQ team. Thank you, Jan-Maree and the team, for all the years of dedication, perseverance and care for our defence community.

My most memorable interaction with AHQ came when I was heading into hospital for an extended period of treatment. My hospitalisation was sudden and unexpected, but somehow Jan-Maree found out and reached out to me. She asked if I had an AHQ quilt, and when she found out I didn’t, one arrived within 48 hours. How she managed to do her magic I’ll never know. My hospitalisation was during COVID, and after one of the nurses fell ill, the hospital was locked down and all patients isolated on my floor. I spent two weeks in my hospital room isolated from everyone except Squish, my service animal.

The quilt was a daily reminder of the care Jan-Maree and her team had for me and a little splash of brightness for my otherwise stark room. This act of kindness during a period of great stress and isolation was a wonderful gift. It connected me to the world outside and reminded me every day that there were people cheering me on and supporting me.

What may appear to be a small gesture can have a huge impact on an individual in a time of need. Since this time, Squish and I have cherished our ongoing interactions with AHQ and the team of makers and supporters. Thank you for the work you do and the difference you make in people’s lives”

Another great bloke sharing his story today and this time an author who has donated his books to our fundraising efforts.

“What a great privilege to be linked to this incredible network of veterans as a result of our connection and support of Aussie Hero Quilts. My service dates back to the 80s and 90s, predominantly with 3RAR and 2/4RAR. I started off as a soldier before being commissioned, and was fortunate enough to spend a year attached to the New Zealand Army and, later, two years with the British Parachute Regiment.

I credit my almost 15 years in the ADF as the foundation of my professional and personal journey, following my medical discharge. From working for CARE Australia in Timor Leste, various roles with Commonwealth and NSW government agencies, to my current appointment as National General Manager for Scouts Australia, the fabric of my military service is woven through all of it.

When I received my quilt back in 2024, I couldn’t believe how Gail had managed to capture my service so incredibly well. The dedication and commitment of everyone at AHQ is inspiring. Congratulations on your first 15 years Aussie Hero Quilts, and thank you for your incredible support to our veterans and their families.”

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

I love the fact that Glen sent us a very appropriate photo to go with his Aussie Hero Quilts story.

“WGCDR Glen Burcher deployed to a NATO embedded position within HEADQUARTERS RESOLUTE SUPPORT, in March 2019.  His 10 month deployment as Chief - International Engagement saw him based in central Kabul, and his role required him to regularly travel within Kabul.  His position required him to coordinate donations from NATO and Non-NATO partner countries, which were used to fund projects to enhance the capabilities of the Afghan National Army and Afghan Police.

Glen’s request for a quilt and laundry bag was processed by Aussie Hero Quilts and passed to Susan G, a Brisbane based quilter.  His request for a Royal Enfield themed quilt also included a desire to include references to the Distinguished Gentlemen’s Ride (DGR), an annual charity motorbike ride which he had participated in, and been a volunteer for in Sydney.

Ironically, Susan’s husband Jeff was the DGR Brisbane organiser, and he was able to source a number of collectable rider’s patches and panels that Susan lovingly incorporated into Glen’s quilt and laundry bag.  Glen remembers receiving his AHQ package in theatre, and being blown away by the craftsmanship, love and detail that had gone into creating them; which also included a small, quilted wall-hanging.  The wall-hanging had been personally signed by the Sydney team that organise Distinguished Gentlemen’s Rides globally, and which continues to raise money for Movember (the men’s mental health charity) and Prostate Cancer.

Glen wrote back to Susan and Jeff straightway to thank them for the quilt, laundry-bag and wall-hanging, and posted them some Afghan gifts as a token of his appreciation.  His quilt and the wall-hanging have been displayed on the wall of his office, and the laundry bag was deployed again during the Afghan Non-Combatant Evacuation mission (August 2021), and during other major exercises in Australia since.”

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

Request List 13 Oct 26

Hi all

WOO HOO!  Not long now till our dinner. This time next year the fun will all be over for another year and I am sure there will be lots of stories to tell.

At the beginning of last week Jan-Maree received a call from a ship that needed some help with morale. They had come home from a long and demanding deployment and should have had some time at home. This was not to be however, and in less than two weeks they were off again. Their leadership wanted to know what we could do to help so we hatched a plan. On Thursday Clarissa dropped over especially to pack up 165 laundry bags, enough for the whole crew.  On the Friday the Garage Girls, the group of ladies who meet at Headquarters most Fridays, packed up 56 random quilts. On Monday, a public holiday up here, the packages were collected by a volunteer and were taken to the city from where they will be sent up to meet up with the ship. Hopefully they will have them this week.  If we did not have random laundry bags and a few random quilts on hand, we would not have been able to look after this crew. Well done all. Here’s to another group of happy customers.  Also, once the dinner is over, and I have a bit more time, we will send emails to all those whose quilts were sent off so that you know where they have gone.

 

 

You will soon see some requests on the list wanting Great White Sharks and Hammerheads… here is why…

“They mainly relate to the call signs for the Aeromedical Evacuation Teams (AME) teams. Great White and Hammer Head AME teams who are currently living the mess referred to as The Kennels. Thought I might explain that. I hope this is all ok. Thank you very much. We greatly appreciate everything you and team do for our brother and sisters.

SPECIAL INFORMATION

A number of emails have and will be sent with important information about the AHQ weekend in Canberra.

Please make sure you print these emails or save them somewhere you can easily access them during the weekend. There will be lots happening, so having the information handy will make things much easier!

Thank you, everyone — we’re looking forward to a wonderful weekend together! ❤️

PRIORITIES

Requests number 1 - 13

Are deployed overseas, and we can send to them whilst they are away from home. The benefit to their morale from receiving a parcel from us cannot be overstated.

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 24 Nov 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.
