Dear Stephanie and
Kathy,
I received the hero
quilt that you made!!!! It is awesome!!! Thank you so much

and the Skippy on the bottom of it is so fitting as an infantryman!!!
I can't thank you enough
for giving me something that I now treasure so very much!
I look forward to
returning back home and sharing such an amazing gift with my loved ones
and let them know that we are well thought of by our fellow
Australians!!!!
Again I thank you so
much!!!

Hi Jacqui,
Thank you so much for the laundry bag, the beautiful
quilt, and the lovely card. I can't describe how much it means to have a
complete stranger make you something so lovely and with so much effort put in.
Both the laundry bag and the quilt are beautiful, they are exactly what I was
hoping for.
I am a
very keen guitar player, and with the help of a group of other musicians
onboard we have been putting on a few concerts/open mic evenings through out
the deployment to keep the crew entertained.
Thanks again for the wonderful quilt and bag, and for
all your support.
Kindest regards,
.....
Hello Jan-Maree,
Just a quick email to extend a huge thank you.
I have just received my quilt from Rita M and
I love it. She exceeded my expectations with incorporating my theme of the
Afghan camels used to explore Australia's outback. I'll be sending Rita a
letter and small gift in appreciation.
Regards and best wishes from the UAE

Hello Joan and Robin,
I just want to say thank you so very much for the laundry bag that I received, it was/is very much appreciated. This is my second trip and it brightened up my day so much when I received it.
When I have some time to spare I will see if I can up load a photo to the Aussie Heor Quilt blog, just going to be a bit busy for next couple of months.
Kindest Regards

Dear Sue,
I was fortunate enough to receive one
your wonderfully made laundry bags and goodies out here in the Middle East.
Thank you so much for taking the time to sew the laundry bag
- it looks fantastic and I've already used it for laundry runs out here. Very,
very useful!
It is heartening to know that people back home are thinking
of us out here, so I wanted to use this e-mail as my way of saying thanks for
your support. It truly is very much appreciated.
All the best,
.....
Hi Sue,
Just a note to thank you so much for the lovely hand sewn laundry bag and the
little bag of gifts that you sent to an Aussie in the Middle East. I am now
home but had the gift for a few months on my deployment and made good use
of it!
I am a Airforce Pilot and was based in the UAE during my deployment for 4
months. It was so nice to get the gift and was humbled at the effort that you
went to for someone you didn’t know, little things like that make all the
difference when away from home and family.
The bag just arrived home today in the mail and is one of the nice reminders of
my deployment!
Thanks again Sue,
Kind Regards,
.....
Dear Lisa
I recently received your parcels of the quilt and laundry
bag for my two boys. I was blown away. I cannot thank you enough for all the
effort you went to in making these gorgeous things. You are a very talented
lady. I know XXX will love the quilt, and same with XXXX – his bag. It’s too
nice to use for laundry – haha. I am so so thankful for all the love that went
into them. The boys and I will cherish them forever. Something they can keep
and show their kids (hopefully) Also thank you so much for their presents. I've
boxed them up and sent them home for them. You really didn’t have to do that,
but I appreciate it. It is so lovely of you. Thanks for the lollies also. I
shared them with the guys and girl I work with. They loved them. J
I really appreciate all the effort Aussie Hero Quilts goes to
to show support for us over here. This is my second tour and I think it really
boosts morale. I wish you all the best and good luck and have fun making the
beautiful things you do knowing you help put a smile on our faces.
Thank You

Hi Rhonda,
I just would like to let you know that I have received my
beautiful quilt and laundry bag that you made for me. Thank you so much for
your kind thoughts and generous heart, it really does make a difference when
deployed as it makes me feel like a little part of home is aways with me. Also
my laundry doesn't get stolen which is an added bonus!
You are extremely talented and I really would love to
commend you and the other members that create quilts for "Aussie
Heroes", really you guys are the heroes =]
Thank you again,
.....
Dear Joan and Robin
Thank you very much for the laundry bag,
we received some mail last night and a few of the boys received laundry bags.
Love the pub design, actually made me want a beer even though it has been
snowing for the last few days.
We appreciate what you guys do and it is
nice to know that people in Australia think about us and send us great gifts. I
will ensure the other guys take photos with their bags and send also, as I have
attached one out the front of the laundry here in camp Qargha.
We are currently serving in the outskirts
of Kabul and are working with the Poms and Kiwis, where which much to my dismay
we are currently being flogged in the cricket and the Kiwis are letting us know
all about it.
We have five months left in country and I
am sure your laundry bags will get much use, once again much appreciated and
thank you very much
Kind regards
.....
Hi Joan,
I received your laundry bag in our last port visit.
Thank you very much, it has my favourite football team colours on it
(Collingwood Football Club).
It is a good size and will be used with appreciation
Thanks,
.....
Dear Laura
I am only two weeks in to my first deployment after 14 years
of service. I have been away from home plenty of times before but never for
such a long period all at once. I can only assume my wife sent you my
details, which is exactly her style. If she told you what kind of quilt I would
like then she knows me too well, otherwise your choice was an excellent guess.
It will certainly brighten up a very drab little room.
I would like to thank you as well for all of the coffee and
chocolate, the latter of which I am trying to avoid but I will have to make
some exceptions.
It is heartening to me that someone other than my immediate
family is glad that I am here doing my job. Thank you for spending your hard
earned time and money to do something for someone you may never meet.
Best Wishes to you and your family.
.....
Till next time.................keep spreading the word and happy stitching!
Jan-Maree xx
Lovely.
