Hello Melbourne! It is your day! Today the Melbourne Cup will be run - this is Australia's richest horserace - so I hope all you punters out there will go home rich! Have fun at your luncheons and parties!
Flemington Racecourse will be stunning with the display of roses and I have picked a few little buds from my garden - the yellow ones are for you Miriam !

' The small rocking horse quilt you've posted appears in the book, "Wisconsin Quilts: History in the Stitches," written by Ellen Kort. It appears on page 166. It dates back to 1935-1940 and was part of a WPA Handicraft Project in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.Maribeth Schmitin historic Cedarburg, WisconsinNQA Certified Quilt Judge'
I received the above email this morning - it came Anonymous, but I guess it was written by Maribeth - a nice little bit of information to have, thanks!

My Stitcher's Angel parcel is jetting its way to Sweden and we've had a SSCS reminder from Chookyblue today about our SSCS - I'm almost there with posting later this month!♥

Nice post Lurline on Melbourne cup! I did one too, but only with hats not horses - Hugs Natima
Must have been very quiet in the streets again. I remember that.
I had no idea today was the Melbourne Cup! Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed lingering on the photo of the beautifully outstretched racers my friend. You really chose something I could connect with. Thank you.
I hope you picked a winner!! You sure did with your roses, I can smell them here, they are just beautiful!
Ahmmm... wonder where in Sweden your parcel is winging its way... maybe it will be somewhere I know...:o))
Your roses are beautiful.
Wish I could go to the races in Melbourne.
I grew up in "horse country" (Kentucky) and love the horses.
Hugs,

Hey Girlfriend...hope you did well at the Cup!!! Am loving your Civil War Bride Quilt...just stunning!!!
Hi Lurline, I ducked out of my sewing 'cave' for about 5 minutes to watch the race and then I was back in there again!!! No bets this year for me - which is probably for the best as I'm not very good at picking a winner LOL.
My SA gifties are on their way to Spain, I can't wait to see if she likes them :o).
Love the roses .... they're just gorgeous!!!
Hugs,
Joy :o)
