I have just been looking at the last week’s stats for our blog and noted (with some excitement I might add) that there have been 5,542 views of the patterns in the last week alone. Does that mean that 5,542 poppies are being made as I write? Oh if only. I guess they won’t all make it for the Fed Square launch but goodness me … I think we are well and truly out there. And that is thanks to all of you … and of course all of you who follow, comment and share on both the blog and Facebook … that’s the way social media works. Like a ripple on a pond.
So end of last week we were at 3948 … I’ve counted 61 so far this week … so that tips us over the 4000 mark. Congratulations … an amazing effort …. we could not be more thrilled.
This beautiful image was posted on the Facebook group last week by Julie Vascocz … I thought I would share it with you. It features her poppies with her grandfather Rupert Thomas Collier’s medals, helmet and field glasses. Thank you so much for sharing Julie.
5000 POPPIES 
I’m absolutely amazed at the staggering amount of poppies which are getting send in. What a wonderful effort from around the country and aboard. This will be big come 2015 and I’m for one
will be proud to have been part off this project.
I love the photo Julie. Beautiful composed. Well done Julie.
Regards Vera Rayson and happy poppy making.
