You have done a brilliant job on the poppy, it has inspired me to try to make some too.. thanks Marian Sydney.

That is such a pretty poppy!

Beautiful, thank-you for the link.

I've seen some of the felt and crocheted ones here in Newcastle and this one you've done is superb. The memorial in Melbourne next year will be fantastic with thousands of poppies filling Federation Square. Love Chris

I'd like to see if I can get there to see them all.

I usually stitch items like this on Organza, Then there is no problem with them falling apart.

Thank you Lidia.

It's a very lovely one. I downloaded the information on the 5000 poppy and thought I'd crochet one to see how it looks. Won't be as nice as this.

Sure it will. There are so many ideas for making poppies and in the end it's the thought that counts. Good on you vickiannette!!!

This is awesome. Can you find lots of fabric in VERY similar colors, so they look like slight variations? I'm so impressed.

This is a machine embroidered flower. There are four larger petals and two center petals which I've sewn together and attached a button through which I inserted some florist wire so they can attach it to whatever .......

Where did you get the machine embroidery design?

Wow, it looks real :)

Thank you. I won't tell you how I first embroidered it one on vilene and it fell apart when I put it in water. I didn't understand polymesh is sort of like cutaway. Ha Ha Ha!!! You learn something everyday!!!

This is truly gorgeous, such a nice idea and honor for husbands uncle.

A great project. I'd like to see the thousands they've collected. Mine is but only one!!!

I have just bought this poppy plus another flower. Think though I have left it a little late for this year so might just have to crochet a few. Thank You for this Poppy. Hope someone else can use it as well.

There's plenty of time. I think for ANZAC day 2015. You can do it!!!

by mi30kaja 03 Nov 2014

Yes but this year is 100 years. I will make them for 2015.

Beautiful poppy.

Beautiful. Looks like lots of stitches. I love the poppy projects, too.

Nearly 18,000 stitches and I did run it through twice!!!
