Kathleen showing us the Starch Applique Technique.
You spray starch the fabric 5 or 6 times, making the fabric as stiff as paper.

One of their darling patterns. "Baby's Clothes Line"

Another Child's Quilt

A variation of the Orange Slice quilt

One of my favorites!

"It's For The Birds."  This quilt won a contest.

Note the applique.
