This is so funny cuz my hubby came home from the store with parchment paper and I said "whats this?" I had never heard of it. Now I can bake with it AND quilt with it?!! When I first did applique and it called for freezer paper...well, my Mom always called freezer paper WAX paper so,ooo yup...I grabbed the wax paper and couldn't figure out the dull side from the shiny...oh, and then I don't even want to tell you about the iron!
