Weekly Dispatches 9th November 2018



Hi Everyone,
As you will have seen from the beautiful photos from the Aussie Hero's thank you dinner last weekend in Canberra, everyone had a great time.  Thank you to all who so generously contributed to make the evening a success.  Canberra was also at its best weather wise, so it was a win, win for those who had to travel to attend.  
I'm sure that is of interest to everyone, to put a face to a name that you will have seen under some of the fantastic sewing that have been made and gifts given over the past years.  Everyone's efforts are greatly appreciated.  A special thank you to the sewers who could not attend the dinner.  It was a special evening to hear first hand from recipients and the difference that a gift hand made and special, makes when it arrives. Don't ever feel that this is not important work that you are doing.  You all do "make a difference".

So far for 2018 we have sent off 1,190 quilts

bringing our total since we started to over 9,971 quilts




So far for 2018 we have sent off 3174 laundry bags

bringing our total since we started to over 19,770 laundry bags

 Don't forget the names are shown below the work.

Thank you again for the wonderful variety of recipient gifts.  It is fantastic to see the individual touches and clever ideas to make the sewing special.

Have a great weekend. Is it to soon to mention the dreaded Christmas shopping?

See you round like a rissole
