The Race that Stops a Nation.

They call it the race that stops a nation. ...and it does unless you are a quilter! Then we get inspired and sew. Don your fancy frocks and feathered hats. It's almost post time. My tips for the 2012 Melbourne Cup are Americain, Lights of Heaven and Winchester for the long odds.

  1. Oh gosh fantastic, from a Victorian who started going to the cup from about 10 years of age this is wonderful....

  2. Well, not quite a nation because it won't stop me! I am grateful that Victorians love it so much though because it means a public holiday now that we live in Melbourne!

  3. I love these blocks Amy! I've spent my cup day holiday using your tips to make my own ikea-hacked sewing table. It is far from perfect, but I still think it's awesome! Plus I got to buy my 3rd ever power tool (a jigsaw) which is lots of fun. Thanks for the hints in your melltorp table post!

  5. Awesome line-up of blocks, Amy! I see you needed two of your colorful boards to display them. Yum!
