I'm particularly excited to introduce Gina today as the "Two for Teal" swap has been heavy with machine embroiderers and is inspiring many quilters to give it a try, so how fun that Gina might be able to provide some cool patterns to some newbies!

If I came to your house unannounced, could you give me a
tour of your
studio, or would it be such a disaster you would make up an
excuse as to
why we couldn’t go in?
Good luck getting in the door
;) There is a reason in my signature line it says: "Remember
me not for the condition of my home but by the love contained in its
walls."

What was the worst job you ever had?
When I was in the
Navy I worked in transient barracks (much like a hotel). For 3 months I
had to count the sheets in 5 of the (male) barracks to send to the
cleaner. ICK! Boys can sure be disgusting.
What is your favorite meal to feed your family when you
are desperately
trying to meet a deadline?
That's what I call
"Fender" nights. Because they have to fend for themselves.
Are you more likely to sing or to dance while
quilting?

Sing. I love to sing!! I play the keyboard for our
church but like singing best. I'm not great but can definitely make a
joyful noise ;)
Favorite places you ever lived Japan and Hawaii (2
years at each)
Something she didn't tell you - Gina has five kids. I'm always a little bit in awe of women who keep it all together with more than three!

I love that Gina's designs are so bright and fun, and also that she doesn't seem to have just one style. If you need cute, she's got it. If you need sophisticated, she's got it. If you need inspirational or funny, those are there too. I hope you'll head on over to Splinters and Threads and consider trying some machine embroidery, especially if you already own the machine but don't know what to do with it. You know I'm talking to at least a few of you!
Thank you, Gina, for agreeing to be my latest hotseater!

Glad Gina made it to the Hot Seat! She's a great person and a great artist. If I had an embroidery machine, I would own a lot of her designs. But she also has hand carved blocks for stamping fabric and quilt templates. She's no one-hit wonder.
