Greetings all,
I cannot believe that by the time you are reading this it will be December and Christmas will just be around the corner. Cripes!!!
And now for this week’s request……
Invictus Games
First up, who wants to sew a LB for a member of the Invictus Games Team or one of the dedicated coaches? You will be provided with a service crest, a Lockheed Martin Patch, an Invictus Patch, an AHQ tag. Aside from these the theme for the bags will be Aussie/Canadian. We will not be trying to add the logos for the sports this year so we will be keeping it simple.
If you need it we can even send you a small amount of Canadian fabric.
Bags need to be completed and with Aussie Hero HQ by 13 Jan 25.
PRIORITY REQUESTS
As always the requests are listed in priority
order. Requests No 1 – 22 are deployed overseas. A number of them have asked
for things like the Jordanian flag, Petra, Amman, Wadi Rum, Desert themes,
guns, missiles… and so on. Please don’t be daunted by these things. I can make
you up a pack appropriate to the request you take on and can send you photos
printed on fabric that you can include in your quilt. Images will be similar to
the ones included in the collage below.
POST BY DATE
The post by date for all Requests on this list is 6
Jan 25 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 but please include at least 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 an 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

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
