Quilts, Children, Knitting, odds and ends

Zach finally passed his next level in TKD. He is now a Cho Dan Bo- probationary black belt. After 6 months of not training and working his but off to regain his confidence back, he finally got there. We are so proud of him. Only Zach could do the work needed to pass this level, we just took him to TKD.

I truely believe changing schools has made a difference.

Labor Day long weekend. We went to Kaloorlie for the weekend to visit our friend Brad, Dianne and the kids. Although the children only see each other at holidays and only for 1 or two days they still all get along like a house on fire. The boy are best friends and we have been asked to be LLeyton's God Parents. A great honour and one which we are proud off.

Bubble or pom pom wool. I discovered this in a shop at $2 a ball. It looks like little marshmallows. I made the pink one then the b&w one followed by the coloured one. I have since made 4 more scarfs. It knits up really quickly and is so soft.

Just one of the rat bags. Kings Park June 2010, I might be a bit prejudice but I think they are rather good looking!!

It is finished. My Pam Bono Colorado Wedding quilt. Much cutting, sewing, trimming, recutting and resewing before I could start the blocks tried my patience, but the quilt itself went together very quick once the blocks were all completed. The picture does not do the colour that much justice. On close inspection, the centre of the blocks is a self patterned shimmer, there are greens, pinks, a self patterned print with a blend of the colours. I guess it is more on the subtle side, but this time that is what I was aiming for.
