*** Home Made Starch Recipe from Paula;
Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch w/ teaspoons of cold water in a 2-cup heat proof glass measuring cup. Boil 1-cup water and add to mixture, stir constantly. Mix will turn chalky white to milky translucent. Let cool to room temp, then add water to make 2 cups of solution. Put into spray bottle and shake well before each use. Because of no preservatives a new batch will need to be made every week.
See how that works for ya. I wonder if you can make 1/2 batches?
Almost to stitchin'

Christmas Stockings for service men.

We are making Christmas stockings to send our service men.  Paula Nicholes has the pattern or there are several of us that also have it.  We will also be soliciting donations from local businesses or anyone that would care to donate to fill the stockings.  Local service men will be the first priority to receive one.  Stockings must be turned by thursday night quilting November 4, 2010.
