Hi all
Ok so trying something different this week as I know that lots of you do
not read the preamble as you think it does not change…. So
IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE REQUEST
LIST.. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST FOR HELPFUL INFO… ESSENTIAL
IF YOU ARE NOT USED TO SEWING FOR US.
SELVEDGES
Something a little different… one of our recipients is currently serving
on Submarines and in her spare time she likes to sew. She is wondering if any
of you have any spare selvedges she can have… must have words or dots on them,
not be blanks. That is what she needs for a project she is working on. If you
can help her please email me for her postal address. Thank you.
Laundry Bags
For those of you who like to make random laundry bags it is time to look
at sending some more the Malaysia and we got lots of promises last week but I still
need more pretty please. I normally send about 12-140 to our Rifle Company at
RMAF Base Butterworth every three months.
I have to get a bit ahead of myself this time as I will be moving house
in three months time. So if you would like to make some random, gender neutral
laundry bags to go to Malaysia please let me know. It is important that you
understand that to do this you will need to cover the cost of postage to from your
location to Sydney and you will need to complete a large customs form. Your postie will be able to tell you how much
that is depending on how any bags you want to send. Alternately if you are in
Sydney you can drop them in to me and I can send them from here. If you are
interested please let me know.
Priority items
No’s 2-13 are all required to be in the mail no later than then end of
February. Let’s see what we can do.
Post by Date
The post by date for ALL items on this request list is 5 March please.
PLEASE note the date and let me know if you have any problems getting
your quilt/LB away on time. 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.
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…. ie 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.
If you don’t understand what people are asking for or where to get some
of the bits and pieces then please ask me but the following might also be
helpful.
Australian National Flag - you can buy panels at Spotlight – ask for
them if you can’t find them.
Rising Sun, RAAF Crest, Navy Crest, Coat of Arms, HMAS Warramunga crest
and other badges – ask me about them, I can often send you some to include if
your request needs them.
If they want some text and it is too much for you to applique I can get
it embroidered and sent to you to be sewn on the quilt or sewn into it.
I can help you with football colours and logos of teams etc. Just ask
me. Most of the logos are simple or you can just add team names if you want to
… team colours are enough also.
Please think about what the request involves before you take it on.
Google, ask questions, email me, make sure you can complete it to your
satisfaction before you commit to it if possible please.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
We still need masculine or gender neutral laundry bags to be sent to
our troops in Malaysia. I am working
ahead as I am due to move home when the next lot of bags are due so I would
like to get the bags over there sooner than later as I will not have time to
coordinate closer to time. If you
would like to post to Malaysia that would be great. You need to pay the cost
of postage from your location to Sydney and your parcel needs a customs form
on it. If you are interested please
let me know. Cheers Jan-Maree
