21 December 2020 Request List
Just a few more ‘sleeps’ ‘til Christmas and I’m still busy sewing, just getting a few last minute items completed for grandchildren and others. Looking at today’s Requests though I know I’ll be tempted to select one or two items...there’s so much variety it will be hard to choose but I know I’ll enjoy the projects.
If you would like to take on an Aussie Hero quilt or laundry bag this week to design and create, please READ ON! And don’t hesitate to get back to me ASAP with your choice. I’ll be sending virtual tinsel, sparkle and Christmas Cheer with every email of reply 😀.
To all of us around our beautiful nation who are anxious about or affected by the current Covid 19 cluster and cautionary measures, hang in there, keep in touch with friends and family and take time this week leading up to Christmas to reflect and know that you are valued, that as an Aussie Hero volunteer you are a treasure, giving rather than receiving by way of sewing for our Aussie service men and women. I salute you!
Sending all the Aussie Heroes family my warmest good wishes for a very blessed Christmas and all the best for the New Year.
Cheers,
Clarissa
Essential info and
weekly updates .....
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.
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 with the admin team. 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. Also, please use the Aussie Heroes P O Box address on your parcel in the event the parcel is Returned to Sender - the PO Box is a safe place in the event of any mishaps with postage.

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
Aussie Hero Quilts (and Laundry Bags)
PO Box 248

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.
Clarissa, Alex, Courtney, Lisa, Kylie, Catherine and
Jan-Maree
