Hey folks,
Well it is such a sad time. Whether you are a Royalist or a Republican you have to appreciate that we have lost an amazing lady, a veteran and a monarch. She dedicated her life to service and set an amazing example of service. Vale Queen Elizabeth II.
You might not realise how many things will have to change now that we have moved from having a queen to having a king. The crown on every crest, badge, and button worn on the uniforms of all of our service people will have to change from the Queen’s Crown to the King’s Crown. That means that we too, will have to change all of our crests and badges. It will take time but we will get it sorted.
And now, here are the requests for this week.
PRIORITY LAUNDRY BAGS….
We did such a great job taking up the
priority requests last two weeks. Thank you all so much!
We have three of the priority laundry bags left and I know that the requests are not the easiest subjects but I am sure we can do something with them. I have nagged my husband to provide some quotes for the request asking for the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul request.
If you can get a laundry bag in the mail in the next couple of weeks I know the crewmembers would be very appreciative.
PRIORITY REQUESTS.
Requests no 3,4, and 5 are all for members who are on deployment so I would love to get their quilts in the mail to them. Same post by date as everything else this week but it would be great to get a start on them if someone can help.
POST BY DATE
The post by date for all Requests on this list is 17
October 2022 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. 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.
Request Information
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’s 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.
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.
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 bold below.
CPL Wanda Quilt 8765432
TG 3456
AFPO XX
ADF
Sydney NSW 2890
Also, please use the Aussie Heroes PO 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.
Aussie Hero Quilts (and Laundry Bags)
PO Box 248,
Cherrybrook, NSW 2126
Don’t forget to take a photo of your completed quilt or laundry bag to email to AHQ with the name and PMKEYS of the recipient and we can include in the Weekly Dispatches blog and 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 for the return 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.
Please also please hold on to the Tracking number
(the pink sticker that you should remove before posting – 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.
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 above.
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
Looking forward to seeing what you want to make
this week. Happy stitching!
Cheers,
Jan-Maree
