Hello,
Hello, Who sewed laundry bags last week? Was it the first
time? How did you go? I’d love to hear back. Now that we have 30000 under our belt I think
we must be getting pretty good at them. Likewise with the works of heart Aussie
Hero Quilts – each week I just love to see the finished creations heading off aboard,
somewhere in Australia or to the high seas. They are amazing…..colourful, unique and every
stitch sewn with love. As the mother of
a son who’s received one when deployed I can testify to the precious nature of
the special moment receiving an unanticipated pack in the mail with the surprise gift
from a caring stranger. Thank you to you all. So here’s this week’s list and I look forward
to receiving your emails to select a project. So exciting to think of this next
batch of quilts heading off to make someone’s day a bit brighter.
Have a great week!
Cheers for now,
Clarissa
