Good
morning, A bit of a late start for me today but don't let that delay any one contacting me and Catherine if you'd like to take on a project this week. Lots to do so we can get these goodies in the mail maybe even in time for Christmas joy. Thanks go to all the amazing volunteers, quilters, sewers, embroiderers, block creators, admin and the list goes on. What an awesome result emerges each week from your crafting and passion.
Thank you!

As always, please EMAIL friendsofAHQ@gmail.com
and Catherine or I will be pleased to
assist you with the selected project details. Hope to hear from you soon.
Given that there’s been so
much delay with the mail over this year or so I am wondering if those who’ve
used a Aus Post pre-paid satchel could check
the Aus Post tracker https://auspost.com.au/mypost/track/#/search to
determine if the parcel has been delivered. If not, we have the opportunity to request Aus Post
follow up the whereabouts of the item…but only if the tracking number (see the
pink detachable sticker on the satchels) has been kept.
To that end, please always keep the pink tracking sticker and ask
the Post Office to scan the parcel’s details when it is dropped it off; please
also request a printed tracking receipt.
I have an Aus Post app on
my phone and, scanning the QR code on each satchel using the smart phone
camera, all I have to do is type in the name of the recipient and I can track
the parcel via my phone. https://auspost.com.au/about-us/about-our-site/australia-post-app
I’ve love to hear the
outcome of these checks and share success tips. If tracking assistance needed to chase up the whereabouts
of any missing item please let us know or check in with your post office.
Don’t forget to check out the details for
next year’s 10th Anniversary Thank You Dinner? It will be
an awesome time of Aussie Hero quilting fun and enjoyment. Hotel and Event tickets may be secured via the Home Page of the AHQ blog site. BOOK NOW!!!
Every volunteer welcome to attend - this weekend is for you!
Do you like to sew Laundry Bags? We are
supporting an army team abroad by way of
supplying laundry bags to. If you are keen to sew bags for this
group, please email friendsofAHQ@gmail.com for the dispatch address -
THANK YOU!!!! Random laundry bags also useful and can be posted to AHQ PO Box 248 Cherrybrook NSW 2148, thank you.
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
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.

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 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.
Clarissa,
Alex, Courtney, Lisa, Kylie, Catherine, Jan-Maree, Ben and Pamela.
