Re: [lace] Commemorative poppies for the Australian War memorial in Canberra
I have enlarged the pattern by 20%, and am working the first one in perle 5!!! which fills this space nicely, and should produce poppies with 4 leaves in the the size that is required (8-9cm). I am using 20 gauge artistic wire in burgundy with 1 thread of perle 5 to make the edge pair. I have yet to take a petal off the pillow to see if this works. I am hoping not to need to stiffen it further I'll report further when I have completed the poppy Sue suebabbs...@gmail.com - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Commemorative poppies for the Australian War memorial in Canberra
Hello All! Not that I know the slightest thing about making a poppy from Janice Blair’s patten—but is there any possibility that it could be worked over DMC Memory Thread? Like a tiny frame? This product comes in red & I have used it as the coarse thread/gimp in Mirecourt. It would add body & allow the petals to be positioned. Just askin’...

[lace] commemorative poppies for the Australian War Memorial in Canberra
I have just been told about this project to create commemorative poppies, and thought Iâd post it in case anyone wants to participate: https://5000poppies.wordpress.com/ Hereâs a quick intro from the website: we are in the throes of planning our final installation at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra in 2018. While I canât give you details of the installation ⦠I can tell you that it will be a spectacularly fitting tribute to those who served and sacrificed, their families, their communities and in a way, the whole nation ⦠I canât tell you how excited we are! This wonderful community led, community driven project has been a testament to the depth of feeling we have for our ANZACS ⦠and Marg and I cannot thank you enough for your continued support of our efforts. Itâs been quite a journey and we are justifiably proud of what we have all achieved as an incredible team. So we will have one last huge push ⦠to create approx 62,000 poppies on stems in honour of the fallen in WWI to be planted in Canberra on Remembrance Day 2018. It will take a huge community effort to pull it together ⦠but first the poppies ⦠Patterns for knitted, crocheted, felted, machine-embroidered and felted poppies are at: https://5000poppies.wordpress.com/poppy-patterns/ I am thinking of participating as my paternal grandmotherâs two brothers had emigrated to Australia just before WWI, and so fought with the Australian troops.
