Marvellous Monday is here and another busy week ....of
sewing? Lots to choose from in this week’s Request List – I look forward to
your emails selecting an interesting project to sew for a deployed ADF Member.
A couple of house-keeping reminders ......to please double
check any text that you might be appliqueing or embroidering – please query
with me an unusual name that you might think is a typo. Likewise PMKeyS have 7 digits but some service
numbers have fewer – don’t hesitate to ask me to check for you.
Cheers for now,
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.
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. I have to say that the emails with your photos
are so much enjoyed – viewing the amazing colour/s, block selection, design originality
etc is a highlight.
If you are using a AHQ supplied
prepaid satchel please kindly use the AHQ address

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 and a warm welcome to Chloe and Veronica who’ve joined the Admin team.
