10 Things About Colby Lowrey

1. I belong to the Minneapolis Modern Quilt Guild. 

This a great group of ladies that does some absolutely stunning work that you can see here.


2. I have done lots of bees. :) 

Many have come and gone, but I am currently in the bees you see below. My first and longest bee tenure is with the BeeJeebers bee, dating back to 2011. I also am currently the leader of the Harmony. do. Good Stiches circle.

 

3. I have an awesome dog. 

She is labrador/greyhound mix named Marta. She is my best friend. One day I want to make of quilt for her.She became a certified therapy dog in 2013 and she loves working with children. If you have any questions about therapy dog work and/or what it takes or how to get certified please reach out to me!!

4. I have a cat that is cooler than yours.

Marlow is curious grey tabby cat. He thinks he is a dog. Marlow is my little handsome man and the man of the house. You can read more about him here. 

5. I hate following patterns.

As you will see, I love doing improv quilting. I love it because it reduces the amount that you have to use the seam ripper and every single quilt, block, or piece is unique. You can see proof of my slow spiral into improv here.

6. I have a HUGE sweet tooth.

I eat cupcakes and chocolate chip cookie dough for breakfast on a regular basis. I need chocolate to survive. This is one of my favorite cupcake recipes.

7. I'm originally from Texas. And I'm proud of it.

I grew up in the central Texas area, close to Waco, TX. I am a proud University of Texas at Austin alum and am a die hard Longhorn. Hook 'Em!!! The story of the quilt below can be found here.
