Offcut Proggy Mat to commemorate WW1

We've received a lovely email from Sheila about a project her and members of the R.V.S Thursday Coffee Club have been working on;

'Hi, Here is the photo I promised of the wall hanging using some of your fabric made by members of the R.V.S. Thursday Coffee Club based at Morpeth. It was made to commemorate the 100th Anniversary  of the start of World War 1 in 1914, hence the poppy motif. The members are all retired and range in ages up to 90 years. They contributed to the design, cut the clippings and progged the hanging, working each week and taking 8 months to complete. It brought back happy memories of their youth, working on mats with their respective family's. Yours sincerely Sheila Wilson'
