I'm Still Quilting!

I've been working on a few projects that I can't completely share yet, but I've been working!  Here are a few sneak peeks I've shared on Instagram and Facebook.  If you don't already, please feel free to following me on both social platforms!  I am Somethinglisa on Instagram and I have an artist page on Facebook called: Lisa Chin, Artist .  I know, it's really a clever name don't you think?! Anyway - I have been working on a baby quilt for my grandson who is due in June.  The top and back are all pieced and it is much larger than I originally planned.  I guess he will be using it forever. *grin*  I just need to baste, quilt and bind it by the end of March before the baby shower.  I also put together a quilt that will be published in the fall issue of Fons & Porter Quilting Quickly magazine: (Can you find the helper?)

While in Phoenix we decided to go to the Phoenix Flea Market. There were a lot of beautiful booths there with many creative artists. My girls loved the jewelry. I loved a booth with beautiful leather bags, as well as another booth where the artist had created stereo speakers using old suitcases as the housing!  However my favorite booth was this one:  Carrie Bloomston and I met online a few years ago when I first taught my Prayer Flag webinar . After the webinar I discovered she was a co-founder of  The Happy Flag Project , and I gladly created some flags for the project. Carrie lives in the Phoenix area and I was excited to hear she would be selling her art and fabric scraps at the Phoenix Flea Market (she has two lines of fabric with Windham Fabrics ). I bought some of her fabric, and drooled over her art work.  It was great to finally meet in person and get to visit for a little while too. Carrie is such a lovely person.   ...
