Did you know it is a fact that all quilters can see to do, with a black eye, is quilt? :lol: Cold packs (ice cubes in a ziploc bag wrapped in a wash cloth) really does take the swelling down. 5 minutes once an hour, for a couple days. Cold makes blood rush to area, when it warms back up, it takes swelling with it. :thumbup:
