Request List 28 June 2021

Hello and reaching out to all those affected in the new Greater Sydney, NSW and elsewhere lockdowns. As always sending our warmest good wishes to those in our Aussie Hero Quilt family currently isolated. I hope all in our on-line family of volunteers supporting deployed ADF troops can be the best they can be in these times. Thanks goes to all those lovely folk who’ve sent messages – we appreciate your kind thoughts.

As it’s getting colder now’s the time to get sewing and we’d love to hear from you if there’s a quilt or laundry bag you’d like to create. We can assist with supplying embroidered ADF crests and patches thanks to our amazing machine embroidery volunteers.

Don’t forget our regular blog posts.  We will continue to post them onto the Facebook page. The schedule is :-

Monday – Request List

Tuesday – Gratitude

Friday  - Weekly dispatches

And occasionally additionally posts on other days so please do keep an eye on the Blog page http://aussieheroquilts.blogspot.com/

When selecting a request, remember, you do not have to include everything they have asked for.    Footy quilts do not need to have the logo or even the team name. Using the team colours is all that is required. Simple is perfectly acceptable.  A number of these requests have given you favourite colours as well as footy teams or other hobbies and interests.    It is fine to make a quilt using their favourite colours and include only one of their interests.  It is fine to keep it simple.

 

If there is more than one request on this list that you would be happy to do I suggest that you send me a list of requests and tell me how many you want to be allocated….i.e. one of the following please….  There are always a few requests that everyone wants to do (and I can never pick them) so if the first one you ask for is taken then I can allocate another from your list if I have a list.

Cheers for now,

Clarissa and Catherine

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.

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.
