30 November 2020 Request List
Good morning, Hello! Can you take on a quilt or laundry bag request this week? I enjoy getting gifts ready for family and friends not to mention getting the AHQ laundry bags I’ve been sewing packed with a bit of tinsel and Christmas extra. This is really getting me in the mood for sewing more knowing some of these dispatches will be opened by folk far from home at Christmas. Let me now if you can manage a Request from this week’s list – I am looking forward to hearing from you!
A reminder , when you are ready to post the quilt or laundry bag you’ve created, please use the PMKeyS number given you in any correspondence. This helps the volunteer admin team keep a track of what’s been sent etc. The PMKeys number is included in the address details we supply for your recipient e.g. the 7 digit number in red below. It is unique for each recipient.
CPL Wanda Quilt 8765432
TG 3456
AFPO XX
ADF
Sydney NSW 2890
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.
If you are using a AHQ supplied prepaid satchel please
kindly use the AHQ address as the Return / From address on the reverse and also
please hold on to the Tracking number – we’ve experienced mail delays lately
(haven’t we all?) and having the Tracking number is very reassuring to keep an
eye on the parcel’s progress in arriving at its destination.
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 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.
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.
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.
