Hi All
Before anything else…… please
remember that the quilts and laundry bags are going to people on
deployment. They are overseas for a
specific period of time. Often the only
email address I have for them is specific to their deployment and they will not
have access to it once they come home.
If you take on a request please note the POST BY date and if you think
you are going to have any problems meeting that target please let me know as
soon as you know you have a problem. The earlier I find out about a problem the
easier it is for me to take any steps that need to be taken to make sure the
member does not miss out or that I do not lose contact with them. Life happens sometimes and it just is not
possible to complete the quilt or laundry bag allocated to you in the allocated
time. There is always a solution to the problem
– just let me know.
Additionally, I have over 230
quilts under construction at the moment. That means over 230 quilts that have
been allocated to various quilters with deadlines for completion. It is impossible for me to keep track of
them though you may, from time to time, receive an email from me requesting an
update because I am trying to make sure that my records are up to date and
accurate.
Please, please, when you write to me about a request can you include
the name of your recipient and their number (the 7 digit number starting with 8
that just about all recipients have) That
would be really helpful.
I am not going to put the
request list out on the blog every week but I would still like to knock over a
few more of the 100 quilts for 100 Heroes that I released last week so figured
one more week would be a good idea. Let's get as many quilts on their way as we can before Christmas....
Here is the request list for
this week. The names are listed in
priority order – that means those at the top are coming home sooner than those
at the bottom on the list.
There are two priority quilts
on the list this week, A1 and A2. Why
are they a priority? Because of the
location they are in …. Mail can be quite slow and unpredictable. I would rather see their quilts in the mail
sooner than later to make sure they get to them in good time. The post by date for the quilts and laundry
bags on this list is 16 November. For these two quilts that is about as late as
I can comfortably go and still be confident they will arrive in time.
Again, the post by date for
these quilts an laundry bags is 16 November.
If you want to make a quilt and cannot meet that deadline please do not
let that put you off. Contact me and we will work something out. Please make a note of the relevant date for
your request in order to remember your deadline.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE copy
the ENTIRE line if you wish to nominate for a quilt or laundry bag. 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.
B=both quilt and laundry bag
Q= just a quilt
LB = just a laundry bag
Requests in pink are for girls.
This is not all the people that are waiting for quilts but
these are the priorities for this week.
That said, if you are working on a quilt and are looking for a recipient
for it, and there is nothing on the list that matches, please email me a photo
or description of the quilt as I may have a request coming up that fits.
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 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 and nothing
else. It is fine to keep it simple.
If you just want to make laundry bags please email me. I will ask that laundry bags have initials
on them but other than that you need to let me know if wish to further
personalise the bags with themed fabric or just use what you have. Also you
need to let me know how many you would like to make.
Don’t hesitate to come back to me if you have any questions.
