A Poppy for ANZAC Day

I've been reading all the chatter about tatted poppies over the past few months (and I know many of the Australian tatters contributed to this amazing!!! display highlighted by Fiona T) and noticed there was no one poppy pattern anyone has come up with...

So, in honor of ANZAC Day, I've come up with my own, very imperfect but meant in honor, Lest We Forget...

    1. Thanks! I think it ended up with too many petals, but it was a first attempt and will have to do :)

    1. Thanks! I looked at a picture of a poppy while I made it, so I think some parts look pretty good--I have in mind another version I think I'll do for Memorial Day at the end of May. :)

    1. Thank you. :) With the 100th year celebrations for WWI (over the next 4 years!) I think we'll continue to see poppies trending...
