Well I was able to do catch up on the weekend on my Capricorn Quilt BOM's...this now makes 8 completed blocks......Melbourne Cup Day today, this is when Australia stops to listen or watch a horse race........I hope everyone has placed their bets and have gone in a few sweeps.....I am going for number 7.......Good Luck to everyone...if we win we could buy some fabric......I wonder who will win this year...?????...probably not number 7.
yes - I have made my annual donation to the office sweep.....does anyone else have someone in the office who wins everything they enter - one girl went in three sweeps last year and won all of them...if I drew the same horse in three sweeps you can bet on it that it wouldn't finish in a place! Just the odds of drawing the same horse in three different draws is incredible in itself I think!!
ReplyDeleteYour Capricorn BOM stitcheries are so cute. Your stitching is great. Good luck & go number 7! Here in the US we have our Presidental Election on Tuesday. Hoping my vote is lucky just like you hope your bet is...LOL
ReplyDeleteYour blocks looks wonderful -- and I'll keep my fingers crossed that you win!
ReplyDeleteOh Peg, These are beautiful. I really love the fabrics. Can't wait to see it together. I also made my donation to the Melbourne Cup fund. lol. Happy Melbourne Cup Day! D. :=)
ReplyDeletePeg, so many Aussies at home on Cup Day - hard to believe - shame we can't sit around stitching! Hope you had a win! I have put Followers on my side-bar so if you would like to click for a bit of publicity, that would be lovely!
ReplyDeleteHugs - Lurline!
PS - more beautiful stitcheries, I see!
Bad luck Peg, Maybe next year you will pick a winner. My horse is still coming too. Your BOM looks great.
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks! Hope you got lucky- I enjoyed the day off anyway.

ReplyDeleteI didn't have no. 7 but I didn't win either! As usual....I couldn't win an argument!
Hope you had a nice day off...
Bugger Peg! No luck this year...you should go and buy fabric to make yourself feel better!! I am sure blogland would agree too! Jo xo
ReplyDeleteThe blocks look great! Good luck in the Melbourne cup. Hope you win... you could always use more fabric!

I too listened to the cup but didn't place a bet..... Did you win? Sam won the sweep at his work. You are such a busy girl and putting me to shame. But I'm not stressing YET! BAS's aren't over YET!

ReplyDeleteMy horse is still coming up the track!!
Maybe next year.

I was really amazed that live stood still in Australia on M. Cup Day. Even in Sydney, where we lived. Never won either, had no idea of horse racing :-)
ReplyDeleteYour stitcheries are wonderful!
