Good Morning Joan,
First of all I would like to thank you for the amazing laundry bag you made in the theme of Perth. It sounds like you and Robin make a good team 🙂
We are currently on our fourth patrol and seems a little like ground-hog day but working makes the day go faster and doing PT in the morning and evenings gives you the little extra moral boost where needed.
A little about myself.
I am married with 2 boys who are about to turn 4 and 2 so my wife currently has her hands full at home. We have been together for 13 years and married for 6 and live in WA.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my two boys and taking them to swimming lessons and soccer on weekends and catching up with friends for a cheeky beer or two.
Pls keep up the excellent work and helping the Aussie Hero Quilt organisation

Hi Robyn,
I am currently serving in Iraq on my fifth deployment to the Middle East and I’ve just received my custom laundry bag in the mail, it’s perfect, thank you very much!
Thank you for putting so much of your time and energy into these bags and quilts, it is very much appreciated from myself, my fellow team members and the wider ADF I am very sure.
Hoping this email finds you healthy and well, it sounds to me like you have the perfect place to retire and put your feet up. All the best and thanks again for the laundry bag it’s much appreciated.
Ps. The Tim-tams were a hit, and arrived almost completely unscathed! The boys and I enjoyed them!
Kindest Regards,
…..
I received your laundry bag recently and wanted to pen a short card to say thank you for the kind gift and thoughts… they have certainly brightened an otherwise dull & dusty place!
The guys have eagerly awaited their bags and always enjoy comparing them. Nearly all of our group are from Sydney and are a mix of first, second and third times to Iraq – most have spent the majority of their overseas deployments in the past in Afghanistan.
Again thank you for thinking of us & please keep up the great work.
Hi Jan-Maree and everyone at AHQ!
I’m currently deployed in Iraq. I have received one of your laundry bags and I just wanted to say thank you.
It was really wonderful to get something hand made from home and it really made my day.
You guys are doing a great job supporting us and sending small pieces of morale, it’s very much appreciated!
Cheers

Hi Jenny & Steve
Thank you so much for the laundry bag – I love it!. I can’t believe how much you ladies put into making quilts & laundry bags for defence members. Everyone here talks about the quilts & laundry bags they receive & it is a real morale booster. We are looked after very well on deployment in the United Arab Emirates.
We are now in autumn here & the weather is starting to cool a little. Only reaches 38 or 39 during the day & high 20s over night.
Thanks so much for your support, which is truly appreciated.

Good Morning Carla (Kia Ora),
First of all I would like to thank you for the magnificent quilt you made in the theme of Perth and it was definitely worth the wait.
It sounds like you have quite an interesting life and career! I am glad you have seen the light and moved to Perth from the land of the long white clouds to joining most of your family
We are currently on patrol and seems a little like ground-hog day but working makes the day go faster and doing PT in the morning and evenings gives you the little extra moral boost when needed.
I would like to thank you once again for the quilt as I used it last night as it is half as thick then the duvet they provide us and is much more suitable in this climate up here (40 degrees +) as the ship struggles to cool the ship down.
Pls keep up the excellent work and helping the Aussie Hero Quilt organisation.

Donna,
I just wanted to thank you for the lovely laundry bag that you made for me.
You can’t understand how good it makes us feel that people would spend so much time, just to show they appreciate what we do.
I am currently on my 13th deployment and this is the first time that I have received one of these laundry bags.
I love how it is personalised and very obviously mine, when I walk into the laundry. I share two machines and dryers with about 40 other people, so it makes it easy for me to identify my stuff when I walk in there.
Once again, thank you very much.
Regards

This thank you is for one of our BOM quilts… put together by Gail…
Hi Gail,
I have just recently received the fabulous quilt that all you lovely ladies have put so much time and effort into making.
I have got to say, it is doing the job very nicely indeed!
The group of pers that I came over with are all getting ready to soon return home, and are all very much looking forward to the new guys coming in. I’m sure they’ll get as much satisfaction from the great work all you ladies do.
Again, thank you very much.
Take care.

Hi Inge,
Thank you so much for the Laundry Bag, it is perfect and was a lovely surprise to come home to.
I just returned from my third deployment last Thursday and am very thankful to be home. I’ll be looking forward to a few weeks of R&R in which I plan to do a lot of riding myself.
I’m actually enjoying the cooler weather after spending a summer in the MER. It was the first time I have seen rain in a long time.
Again, thank you for taking the time to sew my laundry bag. The work you people do is very much appreciated and goes a long way to help keep out morale high.
Take care and all the best to you and your family for the future.

Till next time… keep spreading the word and happy stitching!
