Tulips



Monty Schutte created this beauty - not only is it a wonderful quilt, it's also the first quilt she ever made! It's actually not so surprising when you know Monty - she's amazingly easy-going and not easily "rattled."

Batik Maple Leaves


Our bee created this wonderful quilt as a gift for Nellie on a "major" birthday.

Romantic Nostalgia



Nellie fell in love with these patterns (Victorian Calling Cards) at Quilt Festival several years ago. Her finished version is absolutely stunning!

I Spy



Several members of our bee got hooked on making "I Spy" quilts. This one was made by Nellie for her great-grandson, Quentin, who's 2-1/2 years old.

Abundance


Nellie often teaches at our local quilt shop (It's a Stitch in Humble, Texas.) If you ever have a chance to take a class from her, go for it - she's a master at applique (and pretty much anything else she does!) This quilt was made as a class sample (don't you wish you'd taken this one???)

Chains


Nellie bought a package of 2-1/2" strips and turned them into this beauty.

Window with a View


Applique block-of-the-month quilt made by Nellie Switzer (actually Nellie says it was more like "block-every-six-months")
