Hi All
I am sure that you have all read the news about the missile attacks on Iraq. Whilst our troops are alk safe thankfully, it must be worrying for them and their families. This comes on top of the massive bushfires that are ravaging so much of Australia. This is just another cause of worry for our deployed men and women. Whilst we all know they are making us proud over there, they are feeling helpless being so far away whilst so much of their country is under attack by these fires. This is when our troops need to know that we are thinkng of them and that we appreciate their service. Make know mmistake, it is at times like this that they really cherish the support and affirmation that we give them.
Priority Requests – I am pleased to say that we have caught up on
priority requests… watch this space though as I am sure we will receive more but
for now, we are doing well. That said, the vast majority of these requests need
to be in the mail no later than the end of February so we need to keep the
momentum going. I hope you can help me with this.
Badges, crests,
silhouettes…..
Don’t be
intimidated by the requests that want the above, I can probably send the badges
and crests to you and can also send you silhouettes that you can print out and
applique as is, or enlarge for extra impact.
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.
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 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.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Cheers
Jan-Maree
PLEASE DON’T
BE OVERWHELMED BY THE REQUESTS THAT ASK FOR BADGES AND CRESTS… I CAN SEND
THEM TO YOU SO LOOK AT THEM AS A BLOCK TO BE PIECED IN AND YOU BUILD A QUILT
AROUND THEM. NOT TOO IMTIMIDATING REALLY.
PLEASE ASK ME IF YOU ARE NOT SURE.
