Hi, I'm Gina a 38yr old housewife and mother of a 12yr old girl. I
live in caerphilly, a town in the South Wales valleys, UK.
I've been quilting for about 8 years and enjoy all aspects of it. I
hand and machine piece and applique. Although I machine quilt for
speed I prefer hand quilting.
I normally have at least 4 projects on the go at any one time. Hand
piecing, machine piecing, hand quilting and machine quilting. i refuse
to start another project until I've finished my previous.
I normally spend around three hours a day on my projects.
Away from patchwork and quilting I enjoy gardening, keeping orchids
( hence the nickname) and watching soccer.

I'm quite chatty and will try to join in with most discussions.

Looking forward to getting to know you all

love and hugs gina xxx

Welcome to our group. I just looked at your webshots. Your quilts are
wonderful. I envy your resolve to finish one project before starting
another. I enjoy the planning and starting process but often move on
to another project before finishing. This is especially true if the
quilt is for me and not a sample for the store or a gift.

Hi Gina - from way Downunder!

The colours in your dazzling diamonds are gorgeous. And the
machine work in those swirls - wow!! Did you do a class
or are you just naturally brilliant? I have long admired
the ribbon work that LL does but I have never been brave
enough to try it. Well done you!!!!!!

hi Cheryl

I have done some workshops if I like the look of a quilt or new
technique and my first quilt was done at a 12 week workshop. the rest
I'm afraid is self taught through books and magazines. I'll have a go
at anything and I'm not bothered if it isn't perfect at the finish.
the ribbon swirls was my first attempt and I think it was beginners
luck as I can't seem to get the effect now.

love and hugs gina xxx
