…. Excited here … the dates for poppy making (crocheting, knitting and stitching – whichever is your preference) have been set : the second Monday of each month from 12.00 midday until 2.00 p.m. until November at least to make a minimum of 500 poppies for our initial display at Fed Square.
So the first workshop will be on 8 July – mark that date in your diary now!!!
I am looking forward to seeing all you avid crafters joining me. In the meantime, if you can’t wait and would like to start making … you can find poppy easy knitted and crocheted poppy patterns here.
Don’t forget to start sending your completed poppies to me. I can’t wait to see how everyone is going.

5000 POPPIES 
Hi Lynn, I have enlisted a couple of girls at work. I don’t think you should have any trouble getting your 500. Cheers Cynthia
Thanks Cynthia.
I also don’t think we will have any problems making our 500 … and I truly think the 5000 although it seems like a lot won’t be a big stretch either.
The project has mass appeal.
It will be GREAT!!!!!
Just letting you know a group of us in northeast Tassie are making poppies for you! We’re meeting every Monday at Purple Possum cafe in St Marys (2.30 pm) – http://www.purplepossum.com.au
That is so wonderful …. Excited. We have people in four states plus New Zealand making now. Thank you Lynn x
