Hello,
Good morning, another week and another project to sew. Not
sew(sp) many Requests on this week’s list but pleased be advised this will
change…..we have a few items in the pipeline about to spring on us so do
watch this space. If you have some time
this week but are without a quilt project to sew, please consider sewing a
laundry bag for those on Covid 19 deployment (Request 0 on the list). This is still a mammoth task for
the ADF and appears to be ongoing for some time. If you’ve not sewn a laundry
bag before, but are interested, head to the AHQ blog for instructions….link
here http://aussieheroquilts.blogspot.com/p/laundry-bag-specifics.html
I personally love sewing laundry bags and will cheer you on if you need support.
Have a great week!
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. You may find your query is answered by me or one
of the admin crew – we are here to support you. We will be ‘on duty’ in rotation.
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.

PO Box 248, Cherrybrook,

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 spent quite a
while this week checking the photos of recently created quilts and laundry bags
- they were stunning!!
If you are using a AHQ supplied prepaid satchel please
kindly use the AHQ address
Aussie Hero Quilts
(and Laundry Bags)
PO Box 248
Cherrybrook NSW 2126
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, Jan-Maree,
Chloe and Veronica

POST BY DATE
PRIORITY QUILTS –
Quilts 1-18 are in locations where the mail is pretty slow – let’s get some
goodness on the road with an Aussie Hero Quilt. If you can, it would be great
to have these quilts in the mail by 15 March or even earlier – thank you!!!
The post by date for all other Requests on this list is 22 March 2021 please or earlier if you can manage this. If you cannot make that date, please let me know. Do reach out if you have any timing issues and we’ll resolve one way or the other. 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.
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....Just email friendsofahq@gmail.com
