Here are some of the pillowcases that went to MALS-40 in Afghanistan:

 

note from the POC for the box that came from Florida, not mine:

 

I wanted to say thank you for the Box of pillow case, they went very
fast and I got a bunch of pictures. I am writing your thank you letter
today and then I am hoping to get the pictures put on a CD to send to
you. 

Everyone who received one, loved them. 

Thank you again.

 

One of the notes:

 

I would like to take a moment and thank you very much for the pillow
case I received via care package. It was made by Ms. Carolyn ***** it
means a lot to know that we have such caring people taking time out of
their busy schedules to make us feel a little more at home. Thank you

 

I responded to the note and told him briefly how HAE started and here is his response:

 

That's a funny story about how Mrs. Lamberson started this project. The
first care package my mother sent me, on my first deployment, came to me
with a nice coating of melted chocolate on everything food and
otherwise.

 

And here is a note from a Lt. Col. in MALS-40

 

I just received a hand stitched pillow case from one of my Marines.
Inside was a note telling me about "Heads at Ease."  I just wanted to
thank you for doing this, and for thinking about all of our deployed
service members.  May God bless you.

Semper FI

 

Finally, a picture of one sent to a sailor in Japan.  It is "hidden" on his bed:

 

thanks for posting these Dori.  and for sending the pcs!
Okay, what and who is next??? I made contact with another new Fabric Store in San Antonio today and they will be going to the HAE website for more information!!!! (Remember, I live in the Dallas area) The two women I spoke with and several of their customers were really excited and wrote it down... so if you see anyone from San Antonio get on the site asking questions... HOOYAH!
I was thinking... Maybe ....??? We need another way to get a hold of Sue at heads at ease other then getting on this site? Or getting ahold of Maryellen? I have this TV thing tonight and non military or naval seamstresses can not get on this site, can they?
yes anyone can get on this site.   DWG, you have my personal email address.  And I am going to shoot you a quick email right now to make sure you do.

http://www.navyformoms.com/group/navymomseamstress/forum/topics/uss...For the ladies who are helping me please see and post questions and comments here. I know that the stennis site is private which can create problems. And I know that heads at ease is not doing the project so we can not have the discussion here. but I want it on NFM somewhere so please discuss here if anyone has a good idea let me know :) thanks ladies
This link does not work I am not sure what it is from but I am sure it is just a glich?

 

 

This is just a note as I plan to write later but right now I seem to be have a lot on my plate. The package
was mixed up in my wife's mail and she was in Oklahoma. It was a real surprise and a big blessing to me.
Tell your son that I envy him and thanks for serving. It is to bad though that being an officer he never had
the opportunity to Holy Stone a Deck. Oh! well God will forgive him for that. Thank you and your husband
and organization for what you are doing as like I said it sure was a blessing to me. We all need a little boost
once in awhile and it sure gave me one.
If you ever visit my Web Site again please sign my guest book.

God Bless You

Bud's pillowcase

Could really use a little help with the USS Stennis Pillowcase Project if anyone is interested please let me know. Thanks All. :) http://www.navyformoms.com/group/navymomseamstress/forum/topics/uss...

 

The above link does not work that was posted by Sue .

probably because I just cut and pasted.  I think you have to type the link in.

 

I made 10 pillowcases for the Stennis this past week.  All food ones.  I was so proud of myself.

I love to make the pieced ones, but they do take more time.   2 that I made for the Stennis were pieced.  The 1st one took about 3 hours cause I hadn't done it for a long time and I "forgot" how????? beats me.  The 2nd was so much smoother and faster.
