Gina started sewing at age 12 when her Grandmother gave her a sewing machine. It was love at first stitch and she has been sewing ever since.  Her love of quilting was born in 1985 when she bought her first hand-quilted Amish quilt in Lancaster PA.   Soon after, she joined a quilt guild, learned to quilt and began teaching others! 

 

Having purchased her first longarm quilting machine in 2003, Gina has years of experience on a variety of different brands and sizes of machines; but Handi Quilter is her favorite.  She presently quilts with an HQ Infinity® with Pro-Stitcher®, an HQ Forte with Pro-Stitcher and an HQ Capri.  She enjoys using the Pro-Stitcher and free-motion quilting.  She comes from a long line of teachers and teaches machine quilting on both longarm and domestic machines.

 

Gina quilts for friends and, of course, class samples.  She most enjoys making quilts of comfort for charities and gifts for family and friends.

 

Gina currently belongs to two quilt guilds in Southern California where she lives with her husband.  She has two grown children and one beautiful grandbaby, which, of course, are her proudest achievements!   She is excited to be part of the wonderful Handi Quilter team and to share her passion of quilting and educating others.
