Building a bundle
IBOL3D isn’t set to kick off until either late spring or early summer in 2011. So, hang in there.
To participate:
1. Leave a comment on this site — anywhere on this site. I will email you a hearty thanks, and the mail address. It’s an APO address, so it’s the same postal rate as mailing something to NY, NY.
2. Go to the post office and get yourself one of the large, flat rate to APO boxes. It’s a good sizes box, and it’s going to be $12.50 to mail (apparently, the price went up). Really, you can use whatever box you want, but I recommend these since they are a price-performer.
3. Form the box, tape one end close. Put it on the floor or table.
4. Lay some ribbon (or similar) across the boxes across both axis – left to right, and front to back. It should look like a + across the box. This will tie your bundle close in the end.
5. Find a nice piece of fabric, large enough, and lay it into the box. This is the outer layer of your bundle. It can be one big piece, round or square, or two long and wide strips put into the box in the same manner as the ribbon.
6. Now, add the goodies. Doing this right into the box, on top of this outer layer, means you should have a pretty good idea of just how full the box is. Add a little, add a lot — add whatever you want.
7. Fold the outer layer over the top.
8. Bring those ribbons together on top. Check and make sure all the goodies are secured inside the little bundle of love, and then tie it close.
9. Tape the box sealed, fill out the address label. Feel free to get creative, and doodle on the sides. Grab your $12.50!
10. Head to the post office, fill out a big, white Customs form, and send it on its way.

[…] I have added two sections today — a frequently asked questions (FAQ) section, and a piece on how to build a bundle. I also added the basics of the About Me page, but it’s pretty […]

Please send me the address. I don’t have money but I do have sewing supplies.
August 26, 2009 at 10:20 pm |
OK, I’m in. Where do I send my bundle?
Love the cat, by the way. And the “cat trap” picture set me laughing hysterically.
August 27, 2009 at 12:10 pm |
Please send your address. What a great excuse to clean out the supply closet! Good work. Thanks for your servant heart.
August 28, 2009 at 1:05 am
Please send your address. I am a quilter addicted to collecting fabric, and have way more than I need to keep! I would love to send you some of my fabrics, as well as a large wedding ring quilt top that has all the cross stitching done on it, but it needs to be quilted. Do you want batting and backing fabric as well? Thanks for your great work in helping others to help themselves!
August 27, 2009 at 3:10 pm |
Please send the address. Lots of inherited fabric coming your way.
September 1, 2009 at 5:05 pm |
Ok I can’t delay anymore or I’m going to be one of “those” people that think about missing the deadline in the middle of the night…
Thank you!!
September 2, 2009 at 2:27 am |
Not the biggest computer nerd, so I had a bit of trouble figuring out HOW to comment – but no problem figuring out the bundles – awesome idea – I’ll be sending several!
September 2, 2009 at 5:53 pm |
Wonderful idea. Thank you for the chance to participate! I’ll look for the address.
September 3, 2009 at 9:53 am |
I can make a bundle!!
September 3, 2009 at 7:42 pm |
Please send me the address so I can send a bundle. Thank you.
July 20, 2011 at 6:17 pm
Nancilee, I have been looking for you. I just found your moms obit. Please e-mail @ dallen3424@yahoo.com or call me on 214-650-8592. I love and miss you and Lycia.
September 3, 2009 at 11:25 pm |
Perfect timing as I’m going through my fabric stash. You said on FB that as long as it’s in the mail by Tuesday, Sept. 8th that will work?
Thanks for arranging all this,
Tracy

Will be adding to my blog and am blasting an email to both West Houston Quilters Guild and Quilt Guild of Greater Houston (about 600 members total). Please send address. (Is it OK to forward your address directly if I don’t post it on website?)

Just a couple days left till Sept. 7th, but I just heard about this project. I’d love to send a bundle if it’s not too late. Where do I send it?
September 4, 2009 at 9:22 pm |
Hi! An acquaintance recently moved and gave me some of her yarn stash to use for charity projects. I’d like to send them on to you – some are blends of natural and artificial fibers while others are totally natural, wool or cotton.
Interested?

Thanks,

Pls email me the address for an IBOL–will put into the APO from here in Brussels as soon as you say when. Super project. — Linda
May 5, 2011 at 5:57 pm |

My group would like to build a bundle. Can we get an address please?
August 5, 2009 at 1:33 am |
If you will send me your APO address I will get the word out to the 2 quilt groups I am in. My DH and DS are both deployed in Afghanistan so the local quilters are eager to send supplies!
August 5, 2009 at 3:19 am |
I’m in. Send me your APO and I’ll send one or more bundles. Are there specific colors that might be better than others? I’m pretty sure no fabric should have images of animals or people–is that correct?
Thanks for doing this
August 5, 2009 at 5:35 am |
Yes I can help with the Bundles of Love. I belong to a quilting bee on AnySoldier.com and am also on Facebook. You can see some of our work in pictures on both. I’m glad that you are from a family of quilters. Please send me your APO address and I’ll get a box off to you this week. Respectfully, Deni
August 5, 2009 at 12:16 pm |
If you will send your address, I’ll send a box this week also.
August 5, 2009 at 12:41 pm |

a great idea!
August 5, 2009 at 1:32 pm |
Please send me your address. I am also part of the quilting bee on Anysoldier.com, and I have access to nothing short of a ton of material to pick through to find something appropriate to send. Please let us know what type of fabric, colors etc. would be appropriate for the ladies.
Thank you!!
Heidi
August 5, 2009 at 3:41 pm |

August 5, 2009 at 11:29 pm |
Thanks to Deni for sharing this worthwhile project with her anysoldier.com quilting bees. Please send me the address as I would also like to participate. Do you have suggestions as to “goodies” we can include besides the facrib? Thanks, Lynne
August 5, 2009 at 11:36 pm |
Ken’s Mom here — I’ll bet I can rummage up a bundle for the cause. What a wonderful idea!
August 5, 2009 at 11:58 pm |
I am a supporter on AnySoldier.com, and I have a stack of fabric I was wondering what to do with. Looks like I’ve found the perfect home for them. Yaay! I may have a bundle or two. Please send me your address.
Keep safe and thank you!!

August 6, 2009 at 5:55 pm |
remember, all boxes will need a customs form and delivery confirmation.
You can also pick up a special APO Priority mail box at your local post office. Just asks for the APO/FPO America Supports you box
August 6, 2009 at 5:56 pm |
oops.. shipping will be $12.65 per box

3 bundles are sealed and ready for the post office. Thanks again for your service to this country and your compassion for the Iraqies.
For others reading the post office has special boxes for APO and the ship at a reduced rate $11.95 vs $13.95 for the same size box to a non-APO address.
August 14, 2009 at 2:49 pm |

[…] To get the address, leave a comment — here, there, anywhere on this site, and I’ll email it to you. I am not posting the mail address to the web, and am asking other to not post it, either (since this whole thing ends in September, and I leave Iraq not long after that). I completely do support you sharing it with your friends and family and guild and others, via email, etc. — just remind them about the 7 Sept. deadline for getting boxes into the mail, and pass to them the information on how to build a bundle. […]

Please send me the address to send to. I am not real sure about the contents. Things like fabric, thread, marking pencils, scissors? Is there anything I CANNOT send, ie: colors, fabric images, needles, knitting needles? Sorry about the stupid questions but I have never done this before and have no clue. Thank you, Elaine

August 20, 2009 at 3:24 pm |

Please re-advertise the Sept 7th deadline. Can you provide another APO address for packages to be sent after that date? I think you’ve started a wave that will go word-of-mouth for a long time. I’d like the APO address, as well please. Is it okay to use a flowered bed sheet as a box liner?
August 20, 2009 at 7:59 pm |
I would like the address on where to send bundles – also…are yarn and knitting supplies needed also?
August 20, 2009 at 10:48 pm |
Please send me your address, and thank you for allowing me to participate!
THANKS and wishes for peace, Dee
August 20, 2009 at 11:09 pm |

I’d be delighted to send a box, a guilt free way of getting rid of UFOs……woo hoo!!!
Please send me that address. Happy to down size the stash.
August 21, 2009 at 2:31 am |
Hi,
Please e-mail me the APO address so I may send a box as well! Lots of experience sending those one-rate-no-matter-what-you-stuff-in-it USPS boxes to my Army Soldier in Iraq over the years….
August 21, 2009 at 2:43 am |
I can fill a few boxes. Send me the APO address. What a great idea. Most quilters have more fabric than they can ever use. I have a son in Iraq in IZ III. I would love to send out some fabric for the people over there to use. Thank you for giving us a way to show the Iraq people we care.
August 21, 2009 at 2:50 am |
What a great thing you are doing…please send the address as I would be delighted to share. Greater than 20 years ago I had a pen pal in Yugoslavia who had No access to any things quilty, I shared as much as I could and she shared down the line and many new quilters came of that exchange. It will be so nice to be a tiny part of that process again. May we include address information, obviously NOT for any acknowledgment, but in the hope of starting new friendships?
The purpose of life is not to possess but to create.
August 21, 2009 at 3:15 am |
I would love to send a bundle to Iraq!
I will be looking for our address as I pack a flat rate box full of delights.
August 21, 2009 at 3:45 am |

August 25, 2009 at 2:54 pm |
I came across your blog this morning during my morning commute on the train to Seattle. I have been truly blessed with an abundance of fabric and quilting things in my life, more than I can possibly use. I enjoyed reading the comments from everyone and my heart was touched. I was feeling very emotional about this whole thing! Upon our arrival at the train station, I was gathering up my things and glanced at the book that the woman across from me was putting away in her bag. The book was Three Cups of Tea. A coincidence? I think not. Moments like this are a treasure to me! Please send me the mailing address! I can’t wait to share the wealth.
August 25, 2009 at 3:35 pm |
Great idea! I want to help.
What is the address??
August 25, 2009 at 5:22 pm |

Having lived 23 years in foreign countries and now a retiree learning to quilt, I can appreciate how much what you are doing will boost the moral of the Iraqi women. Some friends and I started a sewing group in the last third world country I lived is and bought cutting mats, roller cutters, scissors and yards of fabric for the ladies there. Some were very interested in my cross stitch projects so got them started in that. Even bought drug store glasses for those who needed glasses to see to do the work but would never be able to afford an eye check let alone glasses. We’d get together in my home and what wonderful times we had. In a place where so little seems like so much, I applaud you for your efforts and for that of all those who are taking a little bit of their things to send. Scissors are huge! Now PLEASE send your address so I can get this in the mail!!! Can’t seem to find it anywhere. All the best, Sue
August 30, 2009 at 8:17 pm |

September 1, 2009 at 11:01 pm |

September 2, 2009 at 12:23 pm |
Great idea! Motivated to share my stash and all those treasures I couldn’t bear to leave in the store. However, your instructions are great for the U.S. How do Canadians participate? Don’t worry if there isnpt time – I know that this will spur other like actions. Travel safely home.

Are you sure you want all the extra stash I have built up? Let me know the address and I will send a few bundles by the weekend.

I want to let some one else have the lovely stuff.
September 3, 2009 at 7:02 pm |
I would like to participate in this project and give information to members of my quilt guild.

September 3, 2009 at 8:59 pm |
I just received an email about this project through my quilting guild (we’re in eastern Utah), and I am going to pass along the info to some Humanitarian-type groups & message boards I belong to.
One question though, is Sept. 7th is the latest date boxes can be sent? Because that’s Labor Day & the Post offices won’t be open.
What a great project!
September 3, 2009 at 9:33 pm |
Please send along the address, and I will try to meet your deadline.

You’ve started a project that will not only help families in Iraq, but will give many many people the opportunity to extend themselves in wonderful ways, and to feel the joy of truely selfeless giving. You are indeed my hero!
September 4, 2009 at 6:53 pm |
I’m delighted to participate in this project. What a great idea. I’m assembling the bundle right now and await the address so I can get the box in the mail today.
September 4, 2009 at 6:58 pm |
I’ve already packed and sealed the box without ribbons. Sorry, hope you can still use the fabric. Please send me address. Thanks.
September 4, 2009 at 6:58 pm |
Just read about IBOL in our newspaper. Send the address and I will send a bundle of love. Great idea, soldier!
September 4, 2009 at 7:15 pm |
I’m getting in just under the wire, but I HAVE to participate.
Thanks so much for doing this!

Several of us at work are sending boxes. Can you send the address? I’m assuming that you are still taking boxes up until the 7th of September?
September 4, 2009 at 7:57 pm |
Does it have to be a large box? The kit I got only has small and medium. I have to mail it tomorrow.
September 4, 2009 at 8:00 pm |
I love it when I can cram a ton of stuff into a flat-rate box….it’s nice and heavy too 🙂 This was so much fun! I needed to sort and get rid of some stuff I don’t/won’t use. I used to use a genearl all-purpose thread, but since I’m a quilter now I only use “good” quilting thread; so, I had LOTS to give. My crochet days are behind me, so I no longer need all those crochet hooks. I crammed as much yarn in as I could, but mainly I wanted to pile up on the fabric (just like every other quilter in the US, I have more fabric that I could ever possibly use in a lifetime). I also seem to have two of everything in the notions department, so it was great that I had so much to give. An added bonus for me is that when and if my house ever sells, we will hopefully move to a house that’s half the size. This house is too much for us to take care of now that we’re no longer in our 20’s or 30’s…so, I have to part with stuff sooner or later! And I don’t do garage sales, so whenever I have things I no longer want/need, I donate them. This is a fun way to donate! I wish it were an on-going project (I’m keeping my eye on that possibility). My box is ready to go to the Post Office when do my errands today…I do still have that stupid customs form to fill out! There is no way I can list every item, but I certainly don’t want it to be held up in customs! I would think that since it’s going to our military they would have a special US MILITARY EZ FORM to fill out. My name and address, recipients name and address and a general statement on the contents with no dollar amount (misc. sewing/quilting/crochet stuff; the kind of stuff a wife sends to a hubby in the service; misc. stuff from so-and-sos mom, etc. MISC STUFF should be sufficient!
Well, I should go start filling out that form….lets see now…. 348 1″ small head stainless steel straight pins in a 1.5″x1.5″ acrylic box with a rubber band tied around the box, 2 chalk-based marking pencils (one black, one white) that are approximately 7″ long and have the leads sharpened to 1/4″, a 3 yard by 42″ piece of 100% cotton fabric with muted stripes in shades of blue and gray, an 8″ pair of dressmaker shears packed in a papertowel tube so as not to poke anyone, a 2000 yard cone (made of heavy cardboard) wrapped with 100% cotton yard, ecru in color, etc. etc. etc. Guess I’ll have to attach 2 or 3 typewritten pages in order to fully describe each item! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have fun! I’m sure having fun with this. I only wish I’d have heard about it sooner so I could have done more. Then again, being the optimist that I am (yea, right), I’m really glad I wasn’t too late and I DID hear about it in time.
Thank you! God Bless You! Take Care and BE SAFE!
September 4, 2009 at 8:59 pm |
Would love to join your efforts. Please send address. Have the box out on the table ready to fill.
Much aloha,
Carol
September 4, 2009 at 10:18 pm |

September 4, 2009 at 10:19 pm |
It’s a good thing that you’re doing; building better relationships one scrap of fabric at a time. Please send me your address; I have a box ready to go.
September 4, 2009 at 10:29 pm |
I am ready to pack a box or boxes. Please send address.
September 4, 2009 at 10:48 pm |
Please send me the APO address. I quilt and embroider and this is very cool, I wish I’d learned of it sooner!
September 4, 2009 at 10:49 pm |
I no longer make clothes, quilts, etc. . . . .limit myself to keeping the buttons on and rips sewed . . . .but have a lot of miscellaneous left-overs and I’ve been wondering where I can “recycle” them. This sounds like a good idea. I lived for a while in Thailand and in Pakistan, and know how people with limited resources can and will make good use of what we in the USA usually throw out. Send me the address and I’ll send you an IBOL. Nice going! People like you make a difference!
September 4, 2009 at 10:51 pm |
Please send me the address. I hope I’m not too late.
September 4, 2009 at 10:53 pm |

I sent off 5 packages today from Albuquerque.
September 5, 2009 at 1:13 am |
Thanks for doing this. May I have the address, please.
September 5, 2009 at 1:40 am |
I would like to send a bundle so please send me the APO address as soon as possible because Monday is a holiday and Tuesday is your deadline. I just read the article in today’s paper hear in Honolulu.
Thanks for what you are doing.
September 5, 2009 at 1:48 am |
I just read the article in the Advertiser and I’d like to send some of the things I have in my sewing room. Please send me you APO address.
September 5, 2009 at 1:50 am |
Great idea! I’ll spread the word at my art opening tonight in Honolulu. I copied the article at kinkos and will hand out.
Go, man, go!
September 5, 2009 at 1:54 am |
Do you have to “bundlea” the fabric? I already sealed a box (I can open it if needed, but just packed it as full as i could) and sill have another one to seal up that I will do the correct way.
I think I have the web address, but it looks short, so please send it to me.
September 5, 2009 at 3:00 am |
Please send address Asap! I just read the email from Karey Bresenham. I have some fabric to send.
Thanks!
September 5, 2009 at 3:07 am |
Hello. What a great way to share some lovely fabric with someone who will appreciate it.
September 5, 2009 at 4:50 am |
GREAT IDEA !
Sending an IBOL with Aloha from Hawaii
September 5, 2009 at 5:16 am |
Hello,
I’m interested in taking part. Please send me the address and I’ll get my bundle in the mail.
September 5, 2009 at 7:02 am |
Aloha – I’d love to contribute and make room in my closet at the same time. Please send me the address and the bundle will be in the mail tomorrow.
September 5, 2009 at 7:46 am |
Please email the address so i can be a part of this wonderful idea!
September 5, 2009 at 10:48 am |
I have to divest myself of a stash! Send me the email and I can get it out today if it is not too late!
Awesome idea.
September 5, 2009 at 3:32 pm |
I need the address to send my bundle
Thank you
September 5, 2009 at 3:52 pm |
Address, please!
September 5, 2009 at 6:49 pm |
Do we fill out a customs form at the Post Office? And do we add “IRAQ” on the bottom of the APO address you sent us?
September 5, 2009 at 7:18 pm |
Send me the address
September 5, 2009 at 8:22 pm |
Please send me the APO address…I think this is a super idea!
September 5, 2009 at 8:24 pm |
Another comment…the form is hard to understand. Do we weigh the fabric, thread, etc, on each line? Thanks, Jane Hall
September 5, 2009 at 9:13 pm |
I’m 11 years old. You are doing a good thing.
September 5, 2009 at 10:44 pm |
I have a box ready to go. I do need the address to send it to. Are small packages of M&Ms ok to enclose? Individually wrapped hard candy? As long as it is one price, might just as well fill the “little spaces.
Esther
September 5, 2009 at 11:01 pm |
Address please! I have tons of fabric that I’d like to share!
September 5, 2009 at 11:02 pm |
Address please! I have tons of fabric that I’d like to share! Now to clean the closet!
September 5, 2009 at 11:24 pm |
What a great idea! I would like to send a box from Hawaii. This is the aloha spirit, and this is how we can reach out to other people and become harmonious in this world.
September 6, 2009 at 12:16 am |
My sister forwarded this to me today, Sept. 5th. There is not time for me to get a box, fill it, and mail it by Sept. 7th. Surely, they would like to receive bundles after Ramadan is over? Also, I thought Ramadan was ending this week.
Would appreciate receiving the address. Is there some reason that the address could not have been already included in the information provided about making the bundles? It would have facilitated people getting them off in a hurry.
Thank you for what you are doing.
September 6, 2009 at 12:34 am |
I missed the post office by 15 min. Monday the 7th is Labor Day. If a package is mailed early on the 8th, will it be too late?
September 6, 2009 at 1:21 am |
Wish I had heard about this sooner! I have lots to share – please send address.
September 6, 2009 at 4:49 am |
Please send me the address. Thanks for coordinating this!
September 6, 2009 at 9:40 am |
What a great idea! I would like to send a bundle, but our mail doesn’t go out until Thursday, Sept. 10 from Am. Samoa. Please send the address if you think I could still contribute.
I wondered if anyone else stationed there might take up this project when you leave?
Or a local sewing club person?
Thank you for reaching out.

September 7, 2009 at 2:15 am |

September 7, 2009 at 6:21 am |
Please send the address for Iraqi bundles of love. I have been holding onto this fabric knowing that somewhere in this world it should be made into quilts for those whose need is greater. Thank you so much for this loving effort!
September 7, 2009 at 10:54 am |
This is last minute…but I can still meet the deadline. Please send me the address. Thank you for doing this.
September 7, 2009 at 8:33 pm |

I cannot believe I ran across this site just days too late! Please tell me if someone else will be taking your place with this after you leave. I have enough fabric to make a quilt the size of Iraq! And tons of supplies.

We just found out about your project and definitely would like to help. We can get packages our ASAP if it is not too late! If we can help, please let us know.
September 14, 2009 at 9:46 pm |
You are indeed too late. Mailing deadline was the 8th. Ramadan ends this week, as does the eid.
September 14, 2009 at 5:27 pm |
I, also, just found out about this and would love to help, as would my group of friends. Are we too late? Is the deadline extended?
June 23, 2010 at 9:37 pm |
Will you be starting this program again? I read the article in the Columbus Dispatch and understand it will be starting again? I have copied the article and handed it out to quilt shops in Tennessee on a recent trip. Please inform.
June 24, 2010 at 6:50 pm |
Well, I have found one guy who is moving to Northern Iraq right about now, and he’s checking to see if they can try something like this. Yes, he’s the guy from the Columbus newspaper article — his mom is an IBOLer (I just love saying that). And me, well, I flew back to America last night, from 2 weeks in Iraq. Yes, I, too, am headed back for one last year in Iraq. I have no idea if I can try something like IBOL again this time around. I’m trying to figure something out.
August 28, 2010 at 8:20 pm |
I wrote and you sent the address and it has disappeared from my mailbox. I have people waiting to do this so please send your address again.
This is such a wonderful idea. Thanks so much for all your great work.
August 29, 2010 at 12:01 am |
We congratulate you on your service to our country and for helping the Iraqi people as well.
If you or anyone else gets something going again, I would love to hear from you.
God Bless you as you serve.

My post office doesn’t have the APO/FPO boxes. Can I use the large flat rate ones?
Still need the address to send the pkgs. to, I think I used the wrong email from the last comment
September 21, 2010 at 1:51 pm
Marsha, you can use whatever box yo want. I advocate the flat rate ones, as they are cheap and easy. Also, in the FAQ, I have a link on where to go online to order them; USPS will deliver them to your house, even.
September 21, 2010 at 6:15 pm |
I have some supplies I’d like to donate.
September 21, 2010 at 7:58 pm |
please send me the address. i picked up 2 flat rate boxes today, the large ones post for $14.50, according to the sign at my post office.
September 22, 2010 at 2:22 pm |
The USPS has a special APO rate for these boxes. You may have to ask about it.
September 21, 2010 at 8:41 pm |
Hi, I really want to participate in this. But I live in Sweden and don’t know anything about shipping to Iraq. Could you advise me? Best regards, Anna

Anna, check your email. I may have a solution for you.
September 22, 2010 at 12:25 am |

I would love to help out, but I live in Australia and I doubt it would make it to America in time, is there any way I can ship to Iraq?
September 24, 2010 at 6:44 am |
See my email. I have an idea.
September 24, 2010 at 8:14 am |
How about packages from Europe?? Would that work too? After all it -is- closer :-).
September 24, 2010 at 4:03 pm |
Please send the address. I can send a bundle.
September 24, 2010 at 4:59 pm |
I just found out about IBOL yesterday, I have two bundles and I need a address.
September 24, 2010 at 5:21 pm |
I’m thrilled to send a box. Thanks for doing such great work!
September 24, 2010 at 6:53 pm |

Hello, I am getting a bundle made up to send out Monday and need your address to sent to.
I am a quilter and a knitter so have yarn and have a lot of 100% cotton. Is that a desired sort of craft item/fabric?
Thank you for doing this!!!

September 24, 2010 at 10:33 pm |
Hi, I’m in. Please send me your address. Do you also want light/medium weight upholstery fabric? I have a ton of it that I don’t need. Let me know.
Thank you for doing this. What a wonderful project. Sorry I just heard about it.
September 25, 2010 at 1:49 am |
Please send me the address!
September 25, 2010 at 2:41 am |
Definitely send me an address please.
September 25, 2010 at 4:26 am |
I was looking for a good use for my extra fabric and notions. Please send me the mailing address. Thank you for all you do!
September 25, 2010 at 3:21 pm |
I’m putting together at least two bundles. Picked up scissors, thread, pins and needles yesterday to add to the fabric, buttons, zippers and seam bindings I sorted out of my stash. Please send me the APO address. Many thanks.
September 25, 2010 at 5:42 pm |
This is an exciting project. I am definitely going through my fabric to send.
September 25, 2010 at 10:48 pm |
Love it. Do you do it every year? If so I can send one this year and then begin saving up for next…. & will spread the news with friends.
September 26, 2010 at 2:38 am |
Please send me the address. I would love to send a bundle. Thank you!
September 26, 2010 at 7:28 pm |

September 27, 2010 at 9:09 pm |
Hi, please send me your address…I hope I can get a box mailed tomorrow!
September 27, 2010 at 9:57 pm |
I would love to send a bundle or two… I won’t be able to mail it until the weekend, Oct 2 if that is OK. I will be sending fabrics which could be used for clothing. Thanks so much for this opportunity to give to people who have suffered so under Sadam and the war.
September 27, 2010 at 11:20 pm |
Please send me the address, I would love to participate.
September 28, 2010 at 1:27 am |
I would like to send a bundle. Please send me the address!
September 28, 2010 at 6:24 am |
Hi – I would love to contribute.
Please send me the address. I live in Vancouver, Canada, so it may take a little while to arrive. Do you think I’m too late?
thanks, Jessica
September 28, 2010 at 4:27 pm |
Canada is OK with me, You’re good. Intent is to get stuff into the mail about the same time — there are so many other variables after that, well, that starting in Canada shouldn’t impact things much.
September 28, 2010 at 4:06 pm |
I have two packages ready to ship once I have the address. Thanks.
September 28, 2010 at 8:57 pm |
Just a word of caution about strange or different emails. I just received an email on an account I use very seldom, and it is not connected at all with IBOL. It said that a package I had just sent could not be sent because of a mistake in the address. And on a different date from when I went to post office. Of course, I was eager to open it and it didnt work. So I called the post office. They told me they would never send an email about a package. And furthermore there was nothing on the customs form or my package to indicate my email address…gee I knew that and wondered about it! but still called to check.
Since the IBOL packages are the only thing I have sent through the USPS in a long time…I was curious as to what had gone wrong or I would have deleted it immediately. So long story, a little shorter…check those messages before opening them! My is deleted and hopefully did no damage!
September 29, 2010 at 7:27 am |
Edwina, thanks for the note. I’ve not heard of this happening to others, but it’s a good thing to be attentive to. I have just the one email, so if there’s no email from the USPS about packages, and it’s not from my one email account — yes, be wary!
September 29, 2010 at 2:41 am |
I’ll get some boxes packed and out the door by Oct 1 – Please email me the address.Thanks!
September 29, 2010 at 1:48 pm |
Hi I have 7 bundles ready to go. please email me the address!!
Thanks!
September 30, 2010 at 5:05 pm |
please send the address – I know tomorrow is Oct. 1 but I can get a package in the mail by then.
October 1, 2010 at 5:57 pm |
I am late! I’d like the address in the event that you’re going to continue this project. I have a lot of fabric and notions to share.
October 2, 2010 at 5:01 am |
Late, shmate. Check your email.
October 12, 2010 at 1:21 pm |
Please let me know when this starts up again; I cannot believe I didn’t find it until after the deadline. I have sewing, knitting, and embroidery supplies to send. Would patterns be something needed, too? I know lots of people (myself included) don’t even usually use the instruction sheets, just use the pattern pieces for the shape of the garment and use their own knowledge to construct. I have for men, women, and children, as well as household items.
Also, is there any talk of something similar starting up in Afghanistan? My husband is a logistician currently in country, and I’ve been looking for a good charity over there to get myself and my children involved in. If there isn’t, and you can provide me with any information on possibly getting started over there, it would be appreciated greatly.
December 14, 2010 at 4:36 am |
Don’t know why IBOL popped into my head tonight, but I’m glad it did. Stay safe overseas, my friend.
I’m so sorry to hear about the PTSD. I have it as well. I was assaulted when I was little and testified about it. For decades I thought I had RPD (Rotten Personality Disorder) only to discover, in my late 40s, that it was an almost lifelong case of PTSD. So it goes. . .
I’ll keep an eye on the blog. Meanwhile, please send me the address for IBOL3D and I’ll start getting ready. I don’t know if I can muster another 19 boxes of fabric, but I am clearing out my Mom’s knitting and crochet stockpile. . .
sending fondness to you and yours,
Melanie
January 25, 2011 at 1:44 am |
Hi, I have fabric and sewing supplies to donate. Please send info ..Thank you for all the wonderful work you are doing!!
February 1, 2011 at 12:56 am |

February 3, 2011 at 2:34 am |
I plan to move soon and this will be a great way to clear out some stuff.
February 3, 2011 at 5:44 pm |

February 10, 2011 at 11:53 pm |
I made the “mistake” of picking up 5 whole trashbags full of free fabric scraps. Still have a lot left that I have no idea what to make out of, so I’d love to send the remaining to Iraq!! Thanks for your service, and thank you for having this charity project!!
February 11, 2011 at 1:11 am |

Please send me the APO address for sending another bundle this year, maybe two if I get busy sorting earlier! ;o)

Thanks, and hope you are as well and happy as possible.
February 18, 2011 at 1:56 pm |

I would like to send a bundle. I work for the PO (no- I do not get a discount) and it is now (jan ’11) $12.95 for the large flat-rate box (military price – apo/fpo). For the medium flat rate box – it is $10.95.
How many bundles can I send?
Address for the May 2011 round (specific date)?
God Bless you.
February 21, 2011 at 11:26 pm |
Sent out the agreed upon bundle on Friday. It’s on it’s way.. I sent you an email Friday, as well.

February 25, 2011 at 3:23 pm |
I would like to send a few boxes. I have more sewing stuff than I could ever use and would like to make a donation to someone who will use it.
February 25, 2011 at 4:29 pm |
I did this once before and as it happens that I am in the process of going through all my fabric again, sign me up.
February 25, 2011 at 7:42 pm |
You are wonderful to take charge of this! Please send me the address, I’ll get busy gathering things.
February 25, 2011 at 8:34 pm |
I’d like to send a bundle to you. Thank you and other servicepeople for taking your time and energy to carry out such a wonderful project. I wanted to participate last year but the deadline was way past by the time I found out about you. Looking forward to receiving the address; I’m getting the box from the P.O. today and will be filling it up in the meantime.
February 25, 2011 at 10:30 pm |

I have lots of fabric that I will never use. Please send my the address.
February 26, 2011 at 3:55 am |
Wish I new about this sooner. But I’ll be ready for the next bundles when the time comes.
This is such a great thing to do. I go to a sewing EXPO every year. This year it is the first weekend of March 2011. There are hundreds if not thousands of ladies and men that sew come to this. I would love to head a drive there next year if I can get it past the commitee. Sending any hints of anything that you feel I should bring up to get this done?
Thank you for starting this wonderful project.
February 26, 2011 at 2:20 pm |
Love this idea. I have so much I could share with others. Would love to send out several bundles if that is OK? Please send me the APO or FPO to send to. Thanks and God bless.

I am definitely in. Please let me know where to send the package.

February 26, 2011 at 7:52 pm |
Please send me the APO address for the fabric bundles. I would like to send several boxes since I have an abundance of fabric and need to reduce my stash. What is the “due” date for the May shipment? If I send the packages within the month of February will that be acceptable? This is a most worthy cause! Heartfelt thanks for supporting this need.
February 26, 2011 at 8:55 pm |
Hi! Thank-you for your service to our country and the people of Iraq. I’d like to participate. Please send me the APO! Blessings, Cathy vonJess
