Andrea Tsang Jackson on Lysa Flower's daily design diary

If you’ve been a subscriber to my newsletter you might remember a two part interview I did with (fellow Canadian) Andrea Tsang Jackson of 3rd Story Workshop (way, way, way back in April of 2018). Since then she’s been pretty darn busy and has a new book coming out! It’s called Quilting: A Book Inviting Quilters on a Creative Journey and it’s being published by Nine Ten Publications. It’s a quilting book about creativity, self care and craft. If you’d like to order it and participate in their Kickstarter check it out HERE. I highly suggest taking a peek to just see how beautiful the book is! It’s stunning and would be a beautiful addition to any Quilt-y book collection!

 

DESIGNER FEATURE : : LOVE PATCHWORK & QUILTING #121

Love Patchwork & Quilting has always been one of my very favorite magazines. They reached out to me for the first time in 2018 and inquired about doing a feature on me and my sewing designs. I had no idea I was even on their radar! In fact, at that exact time I was finishing up a quilt pattern to submit to them (that was the We Got the Beat pattern). Since then I’ve written 5 sewing patterns for them, plus that first feature issue (not including various "OUT THERE" fabric collection features). I was super excited when Sadina Nowshin contacted me about a fabric designer feature! In Issue 121 we chatted about my design process and comfort zones!

Thank you to Love Patchwork & Quilting for being such huge supporters of my work, love ya right back!
