24 August 2020 Request List
Hello! It’s Monday morning and here’s this week’s Request List. Let’s get these done! What will you choose this week? Slightly fewer than the last few weeks’ lists but I hope there’s a choice on this list that you’d like to sew.....I am looking forward to receiving the emails accepting the interesting themed requests.
Thank you! Thank you! Thanks goes to all who’ve been able to add a C-19 laundry bag or two (or more) this past week to send off to the ADF team deployed on Covid Assist. We are very pleased to be providing laundry bags for those serving our community with this very real need. If you can, please put together this week a fun and colourful laundry bag for someone serving. We’ll send you the address for dispatch and would love to see a photo in return to add to the Weekly Dispatches blog post! If you’ve not sewn an Aussie Hero laundry bag before but would like to give one a try here’s the link to the Instructions on the AHQ blog > http://aussieheroquilts.blogspot.com/p/laundry-bag-specifics.html
Any queries you might have, please don’t hesitate to contact via the AHQ email
as per usual with any queries and we will assist you from there. We may not know the answer but it will be our
pleasure to research and get back to you.
You may find your query is answered by me or perhaps Alex, Catherine, Courtney
or Lisa. We will be ‘on duty’ in rotation.
I do wish however to bring to your attention the link to info regarding
posting off your laundry bag or quilt -
click here for up-to-date info > http://aussieheroquilts.blogspot.com/p/posting-information.html.
If you have a quilt underway but are
concerned you may not complete it by the ‘post by’ date, please let me
know; an adjustment may be available.
Don’t forget, if you look at today’s Request List and need help choosing,
please feel free to get in touch to discuss, we will be ready to reply and
offer guidance by email. If you need a crest etc we may be able to post embroideries / printed fabric images or email
some of these to you. Helpful info may be gleaned here
http://aussieheroquilts.blogspot.com/2019/07/information-post-for-those-that-sew-for.html I
look forward to seeing the photos of completed quilts and LBs when they are
ready to post off.
It is likely that I will respond to your emails later today when you respond to
select a quilt or laundry bag to sew. I am looking forward to connecting with
you. Please say hi! In the meantime, read on!
Cheers,
Clarissa
Working with Alex, Courtney, Lisa, Kylie, Catherine and Jan-Maree...and the
team of other wonderful AHQ volunteers.

Priority Quilts
Requests 10-21 are our priority quilts this week and
need to be in the mail by 15 September or earlier, thank you. Can you help with
these?
You may be
aware of postal delays holding up timely delivery of mail. Despite that problem, the post by date for all
items on this list is 28 September please or earlier J. 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, thank you.
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…
Decoding The Columns
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 the Admin crew know if you have any other questions.
Cheers
Clarissa
HAVE YOU BECOME A MEMBER OF A
BLOCK SQUAD?
Many
of you will know that our beautiful Sandy use to run with the Block of the
Months and whilst she can no longer co-ordinate this we have introduced
BLOCK SQUADS
Of
course Sandy was so organised that one person would never be able to do what
Sandy did, so we had to come up with a concept that works with five Block Squad
Captains and five Block Squads.
If
you haven’t been allocated to a Block Squad and would like to contribute
(because sometimes life is just too busy to make a quilt). Or if you have just
never thought about making blocks to contribute or you would like to become a
Block Squad Captain,
Please email Cath Harvey at cath.ahq@gmail.com and she will
put you in contact with your new Block Squad Captain.
Happy
Sewing!!
