If you regularly visit my BLOG you will know I sew laundry bags and quilts for Aussie Hero Quilts and Laundry Bags . Last Friday I received an envelope in the mail from the "Department of Defence", inside was a lovely letter and a coin.
I sew laundry bags and quilts for our troops to show
appreciation for everything they are doing and I feel extremely honoured to
be doing so. I certainly don’t do it for
accolades or to receive anything in return however when I received this letter
and coin in the mail I was very touched by this gesture and a
little teary, I must admit, plus it is nice to know that our work is
appreciated.
I would love to have more time to make more quilts and
laundry bags than I currently am for our wonderful guys and gals however I work
5 days/week 120 klms away from where I live and the commute is quite hectic so
my home time is very valuable.
This is the letter, the Major General wrote everyone's names and signed the letters himself personally which I can appreciate is time consuming considering the huge job he has.

Last weekend I hemmed the sides and bottom of 6 meters of lace for a sliding door. It was over 2 metres in length, there was lace everywhere...

Wow Kaylee, I'm in awe of your commitment. Good on you, true Aussie spirit. Omg to driving that far to work, it would be quite tiring. Sharyn:)
