Poppies for Diggers

Poppies for Diggers

Calling all crafters! Join Moruya Library and the Moruya RSL Sub-Branch in crafting handmade poppies for the “Thank a digger with a poppy” Community Project.

The project aims to unite the community as we create 3000 handmade poppies, which will be used to emulate a ‘Flanders of Moruya,’ ‘Flanders of Bergalia,’ and ‘Flanders of the Bunkers’ for display at memorial services held at each location throughout the years ahead.

Vicki Mennie, Moruya RSL Sub-Branch Volunteer Coordinator, will be hosting this session and will show you how to make felt poppies for donation to the Moruya RSL Sub-Branch. These will be incorporated into the Flanders Fields.

Each poppy will represent a ‘Digger’ a family, a child, a nurse, and animals affected by the destruction of war.

Your poppies are your recognition of the sacrifices made as a result of conflict.

Poppy-making materials will be provided but customers are asked to bring along their own needle, black thread and fabric scissors.

Cost: Free
