Hi all
2026 AHQ Calendars are now on Sale!
Thanks to
the very clever Bel, we have a new calendar for this year.
For the very low cost of only $20 you can purchase a 2026 AHQ calendar.
You can check it out here if you want to see what it looks like.
https://aussieheroquilts.blogspot.com/2025/09/ahq-2026-calendars-for-sale.html
If you would like to place an order, please email Bel Payne via AHQcalendars@aussieheroquilts.com.au.
Once I have received the order I will send you the bank details.
If you are coming to the Annual dinner in Canberra, you can collect it
from me during the weekend or we can post it to you. Please get your order in ASAP so we can make
sure we have enough!
Orders will only be taken via emails using the email address above.
PRIORITIES
Priority requests for this week are 1-13
The first 13 are for folk on deployment overseas so obviously we would like to get these requests completed. Post can be so unreliable to some of our overseas locations so it can take a while to get parcels to them so the sooner they are in the mail the better.
Request no 14 is a fellow whose quilt has not been completed even though he has deployed and come home so I would really like to get his done sooner than later as all his mates had theirs.
All the rest of our requests are listed in priority order. Please let me know if you can help.
POST BY DATE
The post by date for all Requests on this list
is 11 Nov 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 name given you in any
correspondence with the admin team. This helps the volunteer admin
team keep a track of what’s been sent etc.
CPL Wanda Quilt
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 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
