Teachable Moments...

Today and last Tuesday was sewing day here at the Ranch...my neighbor, Nicole and a woman from church, Patty wanted to learn how to make a quilted tote. A class had been offered at church a few months ago but these two were unable to attend. So, I told them we would have our own class while I was on break from school. :)

Below is Nicole stitching her VERY FIRST stitch EVER!! Her first strip...
The front of the bag complete...

And Tadaaaaa...her finished tote! She did a great job and was so cute to repeat, "This is so fun!" all throughout both days. :)
I really enjoyed teaching these ladies and they are so very excited to start making Christmas gifts!
I loved seeing the satisfied look of accomplishment on their faces...it is truly so exciting to learn something new and I was privileged to be the one able to teach them!
