2000 poppies today! Tremendous effort!
Our first poppy display is up and looking amazing and beautiful.
There are 700 poppies on the panel. 3 hours to install. The effect I think is breathtaking. So many people have contributed their poppies to this wonderful tribute. I thank you all.
So onto the next stage. More poppy making afternoon teas and venue organising. I am getting closer! Watch this space.

Hi there – I am also happy to help out in the Wellington area if you need a hand 🙂 It would be great to have a poppy knit-along here somewhere!
Hi There,
We may have to plan a knit-along later in the year.

Hi Lisa can you tell me the address to post you the poppies please. My 92yearsYOUNG Mumhas
25 poppies to send. she has tried three different patterns. what is so special about this project is how it is filtering out to so many, after they see Mums beautiful poppies they tell friends and they start knitting. I now have three friends all inspired and knitting.
We recently had a memorial ceremony for buring my dad’s ashes and the grandchildren all hung a poppy on the tree by his plot. A very special moment and memory. Lesley
