Maestro found out his braces can come off "at the next available appointment" which is in 2 weeks time at which point we have to pay off the balance. As he has only had them on 16 months and payments were calculated for 2 years there is still quite a bit to pay off and the permanent "gold" wire isn't included so that's more on top. Every time I look at Squid's smile I know she will be following down the same path in the not too distant future.
Have to say that my Beginners Class is going great guns, and the girls are in various stages of finishing their first ever quilts and all enthused to learn more. As I think I have said the first week I was pretty nervous but I have been doing my notes as the weeks have gone by to make sure I cover everything they need and I am sure they will come away with a completed (or nearly completed) quilt at the end of the course which they will be able to finish on their own if they need to.
I am really pleased with how this weeks lesson went as I had girls on 3 different stages in the process. I did a bit of show and tell with my quilts to show different border options - No borders, pieced borders and plain borders. We did pin baste one quilt this week and we talked about spray basting (my preferred method) and had the other girls start to add their borders. The class went really quickly for me as there was talking on my part and helping with the various stages instead of just watching them sew blocks.
I'm heading to the class room this weekend as a student, I am doing a class on foundation piecing at Hetties Patch as the kids have a break in tennis this week. Maestro is finished for the season, and Squids team went straight to the Grand Final so they get a weeks break so I get to play this weekend with my sewing machine.

But your kids will have perfect teeth so it’ll all be worth it.
Your beginner class sounds like its going great guns. Im sure everyone is going to walk away at the end with something they love under your brilliant tutelage.
Have fun this weekend- the teacher becomes a student!
I agree with Shay, in the end it is worth it to have nice looking teeth and I think it really helps with their confidence. I think you will enjoy foundation piecing, looking forward to seeing what you make.
I feel your pain on the braces. Except DT's brace is on her leg. We've started getting the doctor's bills and the charges for the MRI. Not pretty.
Enjoy your class this weekend!
Sounds like your classes are going well. After Lucas' braces came off I threatened him that he could break anything but death would quickly follow any damage to his teeth..
