Monday, Monday.....Yes, here’s the Request list. Who's sewing this week? What will you select? I am hoping there will be a rush to pick up a project or two. Christmas is coming (yes, 9 and a bit weeks to go) and whilst we can let's get quilts and laundry bags sent off in the AFPO mail and en route to our valued ADF recipients. I've received some queries about whether it's OK to add Christmas items in with the quilts and bags....YES - we love Christmas cheer and for sure your recipient will appreciate your extra kind thoughts.
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 to take a photo of your completed craft, email to AHQ with the
name and PMKeyS of the recipient and we can include in the Weekly
Dispatches blog and also add to the tally of quilts and laundry bags sent off
to the troops. Likewise a reminder that little extra patience may be needed if
there's a delay with request embroideries arriving in your mail box - across
Australia and particularly in Victoria there's length delays with post
arrival.
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. Our goal is to help you find a request that you will
be comfortable with doing. If a crest or special image is requested 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.
As aforementioned I will respond to your emails when you respond to select a
quilt or laundry bag to sew. But please
don’t delay, make your selection, send your email through, say “Hi” and let me know what
you’d like to sew this week.
I am looking forward to connecting with you and wishing everyone a super week of sewing.
Cheers,
Clarissa
Working with Alex, Courtney, Lisa, Kylie, Catherine and Jan-Maree...and the
team of other wonderful AHQ volunteers.

Priority Quilts
Requests 4 - 10 are our priority items this week and need
to be in the mail by 16 November or even
earlier if you can manage - 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 30 November please
or earlier, thanks. 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
