Hourglass:  Thank You MarshaAuthor Lynn Roddy BrownAbout the Author

Lynn Roddy Brown is a sixth-generation Texan who has always loved to sew. She took her first sewing lessons at the age of eight at the local Singer sewing-machine shop. When she was 10 she won the Singer regional dressmaking contest and received a sewing machine as her prize.

As she was growing up, there was one beautiful quilt in her home, made by Lynn's great-grandmother as a wedding gift for her parents. This quilt, which now belongs to Lynn, kindled a lifelong interest in quilting. In the early 1970's she began tearing pictures of quilts from magazines and did some patchwork with templates, but it was not until 1989 when she lived in Rochester, New York, that she began to quilt seriously. For the past nine years, she has been a member of a bee that trades blocks for scrap quilts. She loves scrap quilts because it gives her the opportunity to use many different fabrics. She has had three of her quilts hung in the IQA juried show in Houston, two of which were scrap quilts.

Lynn currently lives in Houston, Texas, with her husband, an economics professor at Rice University. She and her husband have also lived in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. They have three mostly grown children (Kim, Wes and Nancy), one wonderful son-in-law (Craig), and one beautiful gradnddaughter (Lillian). Lynn has been a seventh-grade science teacher and computer programmer. She received a kidney transplant in January of 2002, for which she is truly grateful. Some of her other hobbies include geneology and western swing dancing with her husband.
