Hi all
Just over a week on from this year’s Annual Thank
You Weekend and I find myself reflecting on some of the lovely things that happened
over the weekend, including some of our fabulous speakers. Are you the same?
If you attended the weekend there are a few things
I would really appreciate you doing. Firstly,
it would be lovely if you could please make sure you send some thank you messages
to those that contributed to the goodie bags and the lucky door prizes.
Secondly, I would love it if you could please share
what you received from the Lucky Door Prize Table. A lot of time and effort goes
into collecting, wrapping and storing all those goodies, including transporting
them all to Canberra. There were five light boxes, some great books, lots of
lovely fabric and lots of other goodies included in the stash. I would really
love to know what everyone received.
Finally, if you attended the dinner can you please write
me a brief email, a paragraph or two, about your impressions of the weekend. What
were your highlights of the weekend. I am working on some blog posts to share about
the weekend but there is a lot to do so some help would be great. Please take a
few moments to share your thoughts and email to jan-maree@aussieheroquilts.com.au
PRIORITIES
Our
priority requests this week are Requests number 1 – 15. It would be great if you could grab one of
these requests and get them in the mail as soon as possible.
16-21
are the last of our 15+ offer and have been sitting on the request list for a
long time. It would be good to get these done and off to them.
As
always, the requests are listed in priority order. There are many 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 1 Dec 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.
CPL Wanda Quilt
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 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
