My pupils are making slow but good progress

My two stitching-babes worked for another session yesterday teatime

Boy, isn't progress slow when you're dealing with newbies? You certainly appreciate how quickly you can get things done if you're not showing someone else how to do something

However both of them stitched and pressed all their strips for the rail fence blocks and cut the nine sub-blocks. They'll stitch them together next week and finally have their first block.

Here is Sarah's in pink, purple, yellow and green

And Megan's in pink and turquoise

Both fun and funky - as they should be for teenagers :o)

And here is evidence of my negligent attitude to task, showing my dreadful 'teaching area'

However did they manage to get anywhere near to that machine to stitch?

Mind you I might add that the water bottles near the drawers and the medikit bags in the foreground are actually from the Fillies Rugby Team - so down to Daddy and Sarah. Sometimes I feel my sewing area is just a general dumping ground for everyone else's rubbish!

However I can't deny it - the rest of the debris is actually mine.
