Good morning,
As I have written before I am based in Sydney. It’s wet! wet! wet! here and my garden is inundated. Just a small taste however of what’s happening elsewhere with transport hubs and towns flooded and folk isolated. Sending our warmest good wishes to all those affected, for certain shelter and protection from current conditions, flooding or flooding to come and for the best of health and safety during this time.
For those of us lucky to have a dry work space, our list is not long this week. We have been pre-warned and are waiting on receipt of large lists from groups and I am hoping I can present those projects for you next week. Random laundry bags remain in demand for several locations and can be posted to the AHQ PO Box address.
If you do spot a quilt request this week that suits
your stash, brilliant! Let me or Catherine know and we’ll send you the details –
we look forward to “hearing” from you. For others who can sew a laundry bag or
two, our thanks go to you also.
Have a great week everyone and for those receiving
record rainfalls, stay safe and dry.
Cheers for now,
Clarissa

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

Don’t forget to take a photo of your completed

include in the Weekly Dispatches blog and also add to the tally of quilts and
laundry bags sent off to the troops. I personally love viewing the
photos of those projects dispatched – so inspiring.
If you are using a
AHQ supplied prepaid satchel please kindly use the AHQ address – also for your
own packaging – if a parcel is Returned to Sender it is likely we can expedite
its journey to the recipient from Sydney.

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.

POST BY DATE
PRIORITY QUILTS – Quilts 2-8 are
in locations where the mail is pretty slow and a group of deployed
personnel are receiving only one mail drop so let’s ensure we don’t miss
‘check-in’. We need to have these quilts in the mail by 9 April or even earlier
– thank you!!!
The post by date for all other Requests on this
list is 27 April 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….

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.

to nominate to JUST do the laundry bag if you wish)
