Or so I keep being told, or rather asked when people see my new poppy. I made two petals using Janicesâ pattern (thank you Janice) but drew a new slightly bigger one to replicate some poppies growing in my garden at the moment (I took one gently apart and drew round the petals to get an idea of shape and size. I drew the black lines on, as in the original idea but also included a lovely little gold button which looks amazing and I am very pleased with it. I have taped it into a small stem which I have attached to a brooch pin. This suits me better than the way I finished off the original one in 2007 and this one has definitely seen better days but has done a lovely job. I have several different flower books but I cant see any leaf patterns that I have been shown are the right ones for a poppy, so for now am not doing anything. Has anyone else made a leaf to go on theirs and if so what shape leaf did you use please? I could make one with the ordinary poppy petal shape, but the images show almost a holly leaf shape. I am using Coton Perle 8 so its not fine threads. Happy Lace making, I am currently being very good and making one other flower to go with two that I made several years ago in finer threads and various colours to fit into an old clock dome, so will finally complete one of my long term UFOâs. I promised myself I would at last before I get swept up into lots of other second half of the year items. Sue T Dorset UK
