Aussie Hero Quilts Request List 26 August 2019
Hi all,
Please, please, please read this preamble each
week as the info does change. I am receiving a lot of questions from people who
have not read this info so you would make it easier for me too if you took a
few minutes to read it.
Priority Request
There is one priority request this week and it
is this one. Must be in the mail no later than 30 September, same post by date
as the rest of this list but NO LEEWAY.
Australian flag, some poppies and the initials
S.M on it somewhere 🙂 possible Op Accordion
2019 F
B 2
The post by date for ALL other items on this
list is 30 September please.
FOR INFO
I am starting to include requests for personalised
quilts from some of our patrol boats currently tasked with border protections
tasks. I have wanted to include these guys and girls for a long time, but
postage has been an issue as they do not have free postage. They do, however, deploy
regularly and for months at a time, and their task can be very unpopular and
trying, at times leading to PTSD and other problems. Last week I had a gorgeous
young man, 24 years old, come and have dinner with me. He wanted to thank me
for the support we gave to him and his team in the Middle East last year. He
had previously received a LB whilst on a patrol boat and next year he returns
to sea as the Executive Officer of another patrol boat. Think about that
for a minute. At the age of 24 he will be the second in charge of one of our
patrol boats, with major responsibilities for about 30 sailors, second in
charge to the captain. What a lot of responsibility that is… he is only a year
older than my sons! I have every confidence that he will do a great job
as he is very mature and dedicated but I am so glad that we are able to support
men and women like him and those he will be serving with. Some of their
requests are now starting to feed into our request list. You won’t know which
ones they are until they are allocated but I wanted to you understand why they
are there if you take one on. I am still giving priority to the men and
women overseas though, just fitting these ones in.
PLEASE note the date and let me know if you
have any problems getting your quilt/LB away on time. 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.
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 follows…
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
The last column with the number is a simple
registration number for me to use… it is only relevant for this week only and
will change if the request is still on the list next week. Once you have
received the recipient’s details you will need to use those to refer to the
recipient from then on if need be.
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.
If you don’t understand what people are asking
for or where to get some of the bits and pieces, then please ask me but the
following might also be helpful.
There are lots of requests in this list that
call for badges, crests, logos and international flags. In just about all cases
I can either print the required for you, can send you an embroidered version to
piece in or whatever is needed is easy to applique. Please don’t be
intimidated by those requests… just ask if you are unsure. See the info below
which will expand on some of the requirements.
Australian National Flag - you can buy panels
at Spotlight – ask for them if you can’t find them.
Afghanistan flag – I can send you one.
Rising Sun, RAAF Crest, Navy Crest, Coat of
Arms, RAEME and other badges – ask me about them, I can often send you some to
include if your request needs them.
If they want some text and it is too much for
you to applique, I may be able to get it embroidered and sent to you to be sewn
on the quilt or sewn into it. Just let me know what words you want,
what colour fabric and what colour thread… keep it simple
please. Also include your address in the email to save me time
please.
I can help you with football colours and logos
of teams etc. Just ask me. Most of the logos are simple or you can just add
team names if you want to … team colours are enough also.
Please think about what the request involves
before you take it on. Google, ask questions, email me, make sure you can
complete it to your satisfaction before you commit to it if possible, please.
Please let me know if you have any other
questions.
Cheers
Jan-Maree
