Putting the starched fabric in the freezer makes ironing much easier. I left it there about 2 hours before ironing. It was very easy to iron and the fabric, with all that starch, was a dream to cut. OK, I guess the real reason I put my starched fabric in the freezer is that is what my mother used to do.
Sure brings back memories!!

I so enjoyed my sewing on Sunday. I made a little cafe curtain for the window in our staff room door. Have to put it up tomorrow. There's one with mittens up now. This new one is made of a springy batik. Also pieced the back of a kid quilt and sandwiched it. So glad I did because we have a snow day today and I can start quilting it, today. I seldom take a whole day to sew, let other obligations get in the way but I'm going to try to make this at least a biweekly habit.

i got to work on my D9P black and white with blue twin top all i have left to do is put on a few borders my husband thinks i need to put on another row to make it longer, but if i do that it will not fit the Twin batting material i bought at Joanns i said i need enough for a twin and it fits now? what do you all think should i put another row on the end or will a few 3 or 4 inch borders work? what is hanging on the one side is not on the other side it is even with the bed top.
