Hi All
Hello there all you awesome volunteers.
I have to say that we are doing an awesome job of adapting and coping
with the restrictions that COVID-19 has placed on us at Aussie Heroes. Thank you for the efforts you are making to
continue to support out sailors, soldiers, airmen and airwomen.
I have been checking in on some of my recipients that I am a little concerned
about. One of them is in Dubai at Al Minhad
Air Base. Recently he made it pretty clear
that the morale boost we are providing is pretty important right now. As I said
last week, they need to know that we still think of them whilst they are over
there. They are NOT out of sight and out
of mind.
LET
ME REITERATE, I DO NOT WANT TO ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO TAKE ANY UNNECESSARY
RISKS WHATSOEVER TO CONTINUE SEWING FOR US. I DON’T WANT THAT AND THE MEN AND
WOMEN WE SEEK TO SERVE DO NOT WANT THAT.
Laundry
bags –
If you don’t have what you need to take on a personalised LB then please
make a random bag or two. I have a plan
for the Random bags but you will have to be prepared to post them to me or to
another Aussie address. This is not free
sadly.
Quilts
–
There is a great mix of quilts on the request list.
I haven’t had time to separate them into simple and more complex but I think
you will be able to sift through them and find something you like. There are
plenty of simple ones on the list that just need a badge or crest or maybe a couple
with some text that I can have embroidered and sent to you.
Some are team-based requests and just need the
colours, maybe with a service crest added.
There are themes like Frozen, dancing etc. Most
themes can be managed by a silhouette if you don’t have the specific fabric.
Ask me if you are not sure.
A couple of requests want a wagon wheel design. It
is easy, just ask me to email the picture to you.
Your quilts can be simple squares or strips but
please do not resort to quilting one large piece of fabric as a topper. If
there is one thing we will mostly have in abundance over the next few weeks it
is going to be time, so blocks and strips or other pieced designs are the order
of the day please.
The post by date for all items on this list is 18 May please. If you
cannot make that date please let me know.
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
YOU CANNOT GET TO THE POST OFFICE
If you cannot get to the Post Office and do not have someone who can go
for you, then I still encourage you to keep sewing. You never know,
there may be someone in your area who can pick up your mail from your front
door (no contact) and deliver it to the PO for you. We can at least try
that. LET ME KNOW
FOR
ANY NEW VOLUNTEERS
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
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Cheers
Jan-Maree
