And how about a few thank you messages for tonight as well :-)
The following thank you is for Lesley L
Sorry for the late reply, I have been on leave.
I was very glad when I returned to have received you packages. The quilt and the laundry bag are wonderful, so was the rest of the little extras placed into the box. Thank you so much to you and to the rest of the ladies for doing this for me, I am really grateful.
The letter has not arrived as yet, but mail can be all over the place. Feel free to pass on my contact details if she would rather email me.
Thanks so much again for the ongoing support from yourself and your organisation.

And one for Gail's Southern Cross Quilt and my laundry bag and for the Team's quilts from Nancy
Hi Jan,
Yes, I have received my monogrammed washbag and southern cross quilt. They are fantastic. Thank you. All of my soldiers have received theirs approximately a week before I did. They are all really happy, and most importantly were all surprised when they arrived (all on the same day amazingly).

And another one for Gail
"Today I received my Aussie Hero Quilt. It really
warmed my heart to
receive such a wonderful gift. My friend organised it for me
as a surprise when I commented on his quilt. The horses
are a wonderful
touch and I imagine would have been quite a difficult
pattern to get. It
is going to make a wonderful memento of my time here in Afghanistan .
Thank you so much for donating your time to do something
for the
soldiers. I love walking into the laundry to see all the
variety of
colourful laundry bags. It is the considerate and
generous people like
yourself that make me love Australia and proud and willing to
defend it.
Thank you again,
Warm regards,
Till next time................keep spreading the word and happy stitching!
Those quilts are spectacular! I love what Evelyn did with the fabric in her quilts and Liz B's crazy patchwork is wonderful. Wont they be excited at the other end of these parcels? I wish we could be there to see their faces as they open up the boxes.
