SPF & AHQ Laundry bags workshop and donation

 Back in July my local quilt group SPF had a workshop day making AHQ laundry bags. We used my Mums souvenir tea towels for the fronts. 

I have a message of where they were sent to cheer some troops up.

**** We've sent the bags off to Chaplain Bruce Hammond who is overseeing eastern states training for OP COVID ASSIST troops  to hand out.....he has been messaging frequently to say thanks to all involved in this generous support of those deployed on this task.

So thank you to all the helpers that contributed to these being made.

With warmest good wishes and appreciative thanks, AHQ*******

Here is the link for the instructions and tutorial for how to make them.

Lots of photos to follow. But some cute tea towels to look at…


























Thanks to everyone that helped

Super idea to use your Mum’s collection of special tea towels. The one showing Why a ship is called she is the same idea of one we have at church. I’ve ironed it many times but not for the last 18 months because the church and kitchen were closed due to Covid restrictions. Church open for limited services now but kitchen still not to be used!

Such a wonderful use of your Mums tea towel collection, and the laundry bags all look great hanging up on the fence. How are the tops finished for closure?
