Taekwondo

Photo taken on 3 November 2012.  Here Tom and I are with our new black belts.  Dennis already has a junior black belt and he wasn't in uniform.  A few weeks after our testing we were interviewed by the local community newspaper.  The write up was a good plug for our taekwondo club.  We even saw ourselves on the front page.  I started taekwondo to get some exercise.  I keep going for fitness, fun and friends.

This Year's Quilt

This isn't the completed quilt.  It's missing the borders.

Now it's completed with borders.

It's called Cut Loose Sampler and the squares are based on instructions from Jan Mullen's book Cut Loose Squares.  I exhibited this at the Wellington Quilter's Guild exhibition in September.
