Well here we go, onto a BIG adventure. We are doing the USS Nimitz, this is an Aircraft Carrier. I have been working with the CMC the past couple weeks and we have worked the bugs out and now we are ready to go.  This project will take 3-4 months to complete so there is no rush or stress on us to get it all down fast.

This ship will be done by departments, ALL boxes for that department have a contact which I will give you to ship with when needed. As the number come in and the PC's go out you will see the list change and the shipped will be removed to make room for new ones.

Please make sure that you stick to the count and which department you are listed for so that everyone get at pc. ALL boxed MUST have the HAE sticker on them by the address label, You must email ME at mepeller@bellsouth.net or Sue to get the addresses.

week 1- 5/25- 5/30 will start the shipping. We will try and ship every week or every 2 weeks.

Ladies, We are finishing up this project, You all have done an Awesome Job. Thank you for all your support.

 

WOW, you have been a busy girl Maryellen!  They look fabulous.  I need to post my photos too!

I did all those in between naps, I have a DR appt at 3:50 pm tomorrow so I hope to find out what is going on.

Thanks for the kind words.

here a couple of mine and Marilu's-the extra that we sent to Weapons and Supply due to a miscount:

1- Supply (Marilu),2-Weapons (Sue),  3 - Supply (Sue)

nice thank you note from Wave #3 and this is from a Marine.  I am pretty sure that his pc came from this photo:

Dear Sir or Ma’am,

               I would like to send you a thank you for the pillowcases that were sent out to us out here. With the variety of styles all of us got a pillowcase that represented us in some way.  It’s amazing how all of you there have brightened our days out here. There is plenty of laughing and great smiles all around because of the time you have spent to think of us. I’m personally from Tx so it made me feel right at home to see West Texas hospitality once again. Again Thank you all for everything! Semper Fi!

 

God Bless,

Sgt Orlando

more sent to the Marine unit, from top to bottom-Sue, Sarar, Donna, Dana, Cindy-didn't get photos from 2 peeps:

They are all so beautiful!  Makes me want to call out sick today and go home and sew!!!

they are all beautiful!  I am always so impressed by the creativity of everyone and how great they strive to make them each unique!

His pillowcase is one that I mailed.  See my photo with the kid made one in lower right hand corner above:

To all of you at “Heads at Ease”, 

  I wanted to thank all of you for your time and generosity in making all of these wonderful pillow cases. A little something from home or something that reminds you of home goes a long way for us out here. I chose a nice American flag pillow case made by Anna Gxxxxx

Once again thank you all for your time and support!

 

Sincerely,

CWO2 Jesus Rxxxx
