I would just like to say a big thank you for my wonderful quilt. You would not have believed the smile it brought to my face when I received it through the mail. It has already been used and is very much appreciated.
Thank you once again for your continued support.

I received my new fabulous quilt a couple of weeks ago. Firstly, thank you so much for taking the time to create something beautiful for me. I had a smile from ear-to-ear and I was making sure everyone in the office was aware of my quilt. It is a welcomed addition to my room and it will serve me and my bed well over the next coming months whilst deployed (and even when I get back home).
Sewing is a passion of mine. Normally back home, I go a sewing class each Tuesday. Before I deployed I purchased all this beautiful nautical fabric to make myself a quilt for my bed but didn’t like the idea of having to do that fancy stitching but now I have a business card for your and your husband store…this has worked out perfect. After receiving your quilt, I have decided to make one for someone else who is deployed when I get home. Even though I am a Defence member, I am extremely proud to work alongside the other men and woman serving in Middle East.
Thank you again for the amazing quilt and in my eyes you are both heroes.
Kind regards,
Pam,
I have recently received a laundry bag made by you, in the post. Firstly I would very much like to say ‘thank you very much’ for your efforts and thoughts, they are greatly appreciated. Your gift was the talk of the office yesterday afternoon.
Your continued efforts with providing handmade quilts and laundry bags to service personnel and to people in need, across the globe is remarkable.
Your selfless positive attitude is very much the spirit and soul of the Australia that we strive to preserve. I have attached a photo of myself and your much appreciated laundry bag.

Hello Joanne B
I am sending a brief email to say thank you very much for the quilt and bag. It really means a lot to receive something in the mail on a deployment and your awesome products will serve me well!
I wish you luck with your soon to be thriving business and thank you again.
Kind regards,

Hi Pennie,
This is just a quick e-mail to advise you that I recently received the care package sent by your daughter and yourself. I was blown away by the time and effort that must have been required in creating the laundry bag. I’m certainly boasting that it’s the best laundry bag received to date. I’ve attached a photo I had one of the guys take.
Aussie hero quilts does a fantastic job in supporting ADF troops on deployment and speaking with the soldiers that have received packages similar to my own, I know they are extremely impressed and thankful. Gestures such as this do a great deal in increasing the morale of the soldiers, especially of late as they have been faced with a large increase in their work load, supporting operations within the Middle Eastern Region.
I trust your job is treating you well and and that your daughter, your grandchildren and yourself are well.
Thanks and regards,
…..
Hey Jan-Maree
Thank you very much for my quilt it looks great. I received it a few days ago. Getting packages from back home is always a big morale boost for everyone on board and a thank you for taking the time to send one to me. If you could please pass on my thanks to Lynn, Robyn and Evelyn for their contributions that would be great. It is a fairly hot climate at the moment and the quilt is perfect for that as the ones we are issued are quite hot and make it diffucult to sleep in, so i am putting the one you made for me to good use.
A little about me i am originally from Perth, Western Australia and have been in the Navy for 4 and a half years. During that time i have deployed several times on different operations. i do enjoy the travel i get to do with my job but you do miss home when i have been away for awhile and packages like yours always remind you of why you do it.
Again thank you for your efforts it is appreciated . Keep up the good work, all the quilts i have seen get delivered so far look great and are being well used!
Take Care

Dear Pam,
Thankyou very much for my laundry bag it looks great. I received it a few days ago. Now i have an apart from the rest of my shipmates which will make things go a lot smoothly haha. Always awkward when you end up with someone else’s laundry bag especially if it is someone from the opposite sex haha. Getting packages from back home is always a big morale boost for everyone on board and I thank you for taking the time to send one to me.
Again thank you for your efforts it is appreciated .
Kind Regards

Dear Jan-Maree and Belinda, I just wanted to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for my beautiful quilt. I had been really excited about receiving it, but never expected it to be as wonderful and perfect as it is. I love, love, love it.
From my favourite quotes on the back, the incorporation of Carlton, the anchors, the dogs, the stitching which are all cleverly done in dog paw prints and of course, the surprise picture of my beautiful furry baby who I miss everyday. I know it was a joint effort between you, you both should be incredibly proud, as my quilt has become quite the show and tell item as people heard about it, they came up to my cabin to see it for themselves. It is now proudly laid over my couch for all to see. Again, I cannot thank you both enough. You both make such an incredible difference to those of us away from home and serving our country. Kind Regards,
…..
