Me and my baby, IloName: I'm Robyn Allen (Marion's daughter)
Where Do You Live? Currently I live in Colorado, and I love it! I grew up in east Texas, spent my freshman year of college in Missouri, then lived in Utah for 3 years before moving here.
Hobbies: Floral Design, Skiing/Snowboarding (well still learning the snowboarding part) crafting, keeping up with my craft blog, Something Pretty, sewing, re-vamping thrift store clothes, shopping for sales!
Sewing Experience: I grew up with a mom who could sew anything and everything. When I was younger I had no interest in learning how to sew, and never took advantage of learning my mother's skills. I started making alterations and mending clothes about 3 years ago when I received my grandmother's sewing machine. After getting married I have sort of taught myself to sew, of course with much needed guidance from my mom over the phone. I have yet to cut out a pattern and sew it, but I hope to soon learn. My latest accomplishment was a gathering stitch to create a ruffle!
What is Your Best Feature? Well according to my husband he said the top 3 are 1st eyes, 2nd smile, and 3rd, and I quote, "big boobies!" I agree with the eyes part.
What Crazy Thing Do You Want to Try? I have secretly always wanted to try out for America's Next Top Model. I also would love to own a little flower and craft shop that is run out of an old Victorian style home. I haven't thought about this at all have I??
What Makes You Panic? I am extremely claustrophobic, so no small spaces or having my legs trapped. So things that make me panic...revolving doors, airplane seats, crowded trams, tight bedsheets, knee boarding...and the list goes on.
***I grew up with Rachel and Rosanne in Texas and we were all in each others weddings. I also got to know their cousin Rochelle pretty well when she would visit them during the summer. I just wish we all lived closer to each other, but this quilting bee is going to be a great way to keep in touch!
