First up - as Aussie Heroes gets bigger my workload increases and I need to work smarter not harder. There are a few things I am thinking of doing but I still need to iron out the bugs.
One thing I am planning to do is reduce the number of emails I send. From now on, if no one objects, instead of sending personal emails to everyone to say thank you when a donation arrives, and then thanking them on the blog as well, I will just say thank you in a post.
I am thinking once a week, maybe every Wednesday I will do a Happy Mail Post. Of course feel free to email me if you think I have received something and not acknowledged it - in fact please do this - and also if you are worried that something may not have arrived just let me know.
I hope that is okay with everyone.
Now the following five quilt tops were sent in by Lynn and I will be passing the first four on to Nancy in WA for quilting.

This peachy one is heading to Karen in VIC for quilting, a long with a few other bits and pieces for her to work on.
Nice fresh colours
I do love those fun centres!

Cool fabrics!
Naomi from SA sent in a message that some of you might be interested in -
Do you live near a Big W???? In the craft section, where they have the FQ's and metre remnant bundles, I scored two 1 metre remmies of Australian fabric (will take a pic shortly) for $5.28 each on sale...normal price is $6.28 a metre.
It is a great price for Aussie Fabrics.
And now - I thought I would start featuring some the blogs that post about Aussie Heroes. Here is one called Nome's Brag Along. Just check this out! I am dobbing Naomi in here - can you believe that she called me the Matriarch! Oh please!

Her response was:
"But I calls you Matriarch with love Jan Maree. I just googled it's meaning and tah dah
noun
1. a woman who dominates an organization, community, etc
2. the female head of a tribe or family, esp in a matriarchy
3. a very old or venerable woman
At the risk of getting my butt kicked, I'll select one of them for my reasoning....2....but could be bordering on being 1 & 2 combined...but only the nice parts of them!
You don't rule over us with an iron clad glove or steel toe cap boots, but are more of 'camp leader'
Ok, I think I've just dug myself a bigger hole, so I'll quit while I still have a head!"
Matriarch! Really! Still I guess I should be glad that she didn't select the third definition!
If anyone else would like me to feature their post on Aussie Heroes just send me the link - and don't feel the need to accredit me with a title like Naomi did - LOL!
Till next time................keep spreading the word and happy stitching!
