Aussie Hero Quilts Request List 26th August 2019

Aussie Hero Quilts Request List 26 August 2019

Hi all,

Please, please, please read this preamble each week as the info does change. I am receiving a lot of questions from people who have not read this info so you would make it easier for me too if you took a few minutes to read it.

Priority Request

There is one priority request this week and it is this one. Must be in the mail no later than 30 September, same post by date as the rest of this list but NO LEEWAY.

Australian flag, some poppies and the initials S.M on it somewhere 🙂 possible Op Accordion 2019    F          B         2

The post by date for ALL other items on this list is 30 September please

FOR INFO

I am starting to include requests for personalised quilts from some of our patrol boats currently tasked with border protections tasks. I have wanted to include these guys and girls for a long time, but postage has been an issue as they do not have free postage. They do, however, deploy regularly and for months at a time, and their task can be very unpopular and trying, at times leading to PTSD and other problems. Last week I had a gorgeous young man, 24 years old, come and have dinner with me. He wanted to thank me for the support we gave to him and his team in the Middle East last year. He had previously received a LB whilst on a patrol boat and next year he returns to sea as the Executive Officer of another patrol boat.  Think about that for a minute. At the age of 24 he will be the second in charge of one of our patrol boats, with major responsibilities for about 30 sailors, second in charge to the captain. What a lot of responsibility that is… he is only a year older than my sons!  I have every confidence that he will do a great job as he is very mature and dedicated but I am so glad that we are able to support men and women like him and those he will be serving with.  Some of their requests are now starting to feed into our request list. You won’t know which ones they are until they are allocated but I wanted to you understand why they are there if you take one on.   I am still giving priority to the men and women overseas though, just fitting these ones in.

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.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE copy the ENTIRE line if you wish to nominate for a quilt or laundry bag. 
For example….
Marvel Theme. Ironman     M       LB      1

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.  If you find it hard to copy and paste, please copy the line out as follows…  

The first column is the theme or preferences requested.
The second column indicates the gender of the recipient.
The third column is as follows.

B=both quilt and laundry bag (feel free to nominate to JUST do the laundry bag if you wish)
Q= just a quilt
LB = just a laundry bag
F= female
M= male

The last column with the number is a simple registration number for me to use… it is only relevant for this week only and will change if the request is still on the list next week. Once you have received the recipient’s details you will need to use those to refer to the recipient from then on if need be.

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…. i.e. 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.

There are lots of requests in this list that call for badges, crests, logos and international flags. In just about all cases I can either print the required for you, can send you an embroidered version to piece in or whatever is needed is easy to applique.  Please don’t be intimidated by those requests… just ask if you are unsure. See the info below which will expand on some of the requirements.

Australian National Flag - you can buy panels at Spotlight – ask for them if you can’t find them.
Afghanistan flag – I can send you one.

Rising Sun, RAAF Crest, Navy Crest, Coat of Arms, RAEME 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 may be able to get it embroidered and sent to you to be sewn on the quilt or sewn into it.  Just let me know what words you want, what colour fabric and what colour thread… keep it simple please.   Also include your address in the email to save me time please.

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.

Cheers
Jan-Maree
