St Michael and All Angels' Church with St Eadburgha's Church, Broadway, St John the Baptist Church, Wickhamford
&  St Mary's Church, Childswickham

We're aiming for over 5000 Knitted or Crocheted Poppies to create a Remembrance Cascade down St Michael's Church Tower.

​

We need you to make and donate poppies to form the cascade - and we will need them by July.

​

We ask for poppies to be at least 4” diameter so they don’t fall through the net and maximum 12”. Having larger poppies means there is less stitching on. They need to be stitched round the outside (a running stitch is sufficient) but securely fastened or knotted so they don’t come undone.  We ask for poppies to be made preferably in acrylic yarn. This means that the cascade can dry out quicker when it gets wet and will be less heavy than with wool or cotton yarn.  (we've taken advice from Wellesbourne Parish Church and are grateful for all the help and advice received)

A suggested pattern is The Royal British Legion - click on this link

or The National Federation of Women's Institute - click on this link

​

Please leave your poppies at the back of St Michael's Church or hand in at The Vicarage, Church Street, Broadway, WR12 7AE

​

Once we have enough poppies we will purchase the netting and it will be at the back of church and we will ask for help sewing them onto the netting.

​

Thank you for your help.
