LYNN RODDY BROWN is a sixth generation Texan who has always loved to sew.  In the early 1970s, 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 hug 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 two cherished grandchildren (Lillian and Eli).  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 genealogy and Western swing dancing with her husband.
