Gina grew up learning to sew, she attended TAFE at night. She tried knitting but still has a piece she started 21 years ago! When she finished school and started working, Craft went on hold but her love of colour and fabric led her to attended Uni and graduate with a Bachelor of Design. After Uni she went overseas for 6 months and returned 7 years later. She then worked for an Agency and when her father became ill she started to embroider. This led to an interest in spinning so she tracked down the Guild and found that Loomcraft was due. She booked but fell down the stairs at Town Hall station the day before and still learned to spin in spite of everything. She became the Guild News Editor and also attempted a 2 year Embroiderers' Guild course so spinning went on the back burner for a while.

She now has two looms and three spinning wheels and is doing Liz Calnan's weaving course as well as experimenting with dyeing. She feels she needs to overcome her perfection gene and just enjoy creating. Gina showed samples of her embroideries, her silk paper, and also a part completed commission of a Quilt made entirely from men's neckties.
