OK, I guess the real reason I put my starched fabric in the freezer is that is what my mother used to do.

My mom would put the clothes in the freezer so that if she didn't get to them right away they wouldn't sour. :) Sure brings back memories!!

Well, I didn't get as much done yesterday as I would have liked but I was kind of quilted out after working Friday and Saturday on my UFO. I worked on simple projects yesterday :)

Love this! And..you gave me an idea for some of my fabric. Thanks.

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.

I would just do the borders then if adding another row would make it too big for your batting. Looks good to me.
