Request List Posts

Welcome to the Aussie Hero Quilts (and Laundry Bags) Request List posts.

This page is dedicated to all the Request List that have been posted by Aussie Hero Quilts. Our volunteers use these posts to nominate for what quilts and luandry bags they wish to make for our wonderful veterans.

Request List 7 April 25

Greetings all, I cannot believe that it is two weeks 'til Good Friday and three weeks 'til Easter. This year seems to be flying past. My husband is overseas for 3-4 weeks at the moment, one week done, 2 or 3 to go. That means I have this weekend to myself and I am...

Request List 31 March 25

Greetings all, Wayne, Bev and Geoff C and Melissa L spent Friday to Sunday at the Avalon Air Show telling the Aussie Hero Quilts story to visitors to the Avalon Air Show. I am told they had LOTS of interested visitors and many who came up to say thank you for the...

Request List 24 March 25

Greetings all, I am so frustrated to hear that a number of our wonderful volunteers are still having trouble posting quilts and bags to AFPO addresses because not all Post Offices understand what needs to be done. It is very annoying that Australia Post has customs...

Request List 3 March 25

Greetings all, Just a reminder the date for this year’s annual dinner is set as follows. I will put up some blog posts with more information but you will have to wait til I recover from the flu. I am finding it very hard to do much at all at the moment. Now for this...

Request List 17 Feb 25

Greetings all, Whilst I was on holidays I managed to finish Rod Henderson’s book “Stop Screaming I am Scared Too” and as I never read books twice I am wondering if anyone would like to read it. I can post it to you. For those that don’t know, Rod was one of our...

Request List 10 Feb 25

Greetings all, Ahhhh sigh, all good things, must come to an end and that includes holidays, but David and I had the best time and we are already thinking about our next one. I can highly recommend New Zealand for a destination. Stunning scenery that never gets boring,...

Greetings all, It is Friday morning as I write this. Yesterday David and I drove into the most gorgeous little village of Akaroa, on the Banks Peninsular south of Christchurch, NZ. What a beautiful place and our last stop before we fly home tomorrow early evening. By...

Request List 27 Jan 25

Greetings all, Kia Ora again from the South Island of NZ. By the time you read this I will be in Dunedin. The scenery over here has to be seen to be believed. Mountains almost everywhere. Picturesque lakes and shorelines but the best thing I have seen so far is the...
