Hi all
On the request list this week you will see at number 1 a request for service specific laundry bags. At headquarters we keep a small supply of the three services’ laundry bags with crests for when the need arises. Our supplies are low or nil. So, the call is going out if you would like to make random Navy, Army and/ Air Force themed laundry bags.
If you would like to make one or more, please get
in touch. We will send you with the crests. We are not asking for anyone to
make ten of one service. We need ten in total for each service. We have many
keen laundry bag makers, so these may be snapped up by those who get in early.

PRIORITIES
Requests
number 1 LB see above
2-36 are on deployment. Listed in order of priority. So obviously we would like to get these requests completed. It would be good to get these done and to their recipients.
As always, the requests are listed in priority order. There are many new and interesting requests that have come on this week.
Please
let me know if you can help.
POST BY DATE
The post by date for all Requests on this list
is 7 April 26 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.

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.

I look forward to seeing the photos of completed quilts and LBs when they are
ready to post off.

wish to nominate for a quilt or laundry bag.
For example….

This is really important to make sure that neither

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.

to JUST do the laundry bag if you wish)
Q= just a quilt
LB = just a laundry bag

I keep a
stash of random gender-neutral military themed LBs with service crests on
them for all three services. Now I
have NO Army bags with Rising Suns on them, but I also need more of the RAAF
and RAN bags. I use these for members in hospital or compassionate need or
other special purpose. Storage is
limited but 10 of each would be great. If you would like to make one or more
of these please let me know. These need to be posted to Headquarters
AHQ. We will send you the appropriate
crest. |
