Hey Y'all, it's me Gina Tell!! Thanks for stopping by my website, I offer full time Long Arm Quilting Services with 2 Handi Quilter Long Arms for local clients in the Austin, Texas area, PLUS I have tons of clients that mail quilts to me for quilting service. If you are interested in learning more about my services you can tap the image below and read all about how things work, & you can also get on my waitlist! Or, you can find my new YouTube Channel to come hang out with me, read my blog, shop for some of my new merchandise, or scroll down to the bottom of my home page for years & years of photos!
I have been quilting for around 20 years, and when I first started I was terrible! There were no YouTube videos, or Facetime back then, & I didn't know anyone near me with any sewing skills, but since I studied art in college and worked as a floral designer, I always had a knack for design & creativity and working with color, so I was determined to learn!!
I got my first sewing machine when I moved to Texas in 2002, at the time I was struggling to overcome a history of abusive relationships from my teens, and I needed something to focus my mind on.... quilting definitely became my therapy! Everything I know has been through trial and error, since I am all self taught it took me a really long time to consider myself good. I started out with a small Brother sewing machine, a pair of scissors and cardboard rulers, and now I find myself surrounded by industry experts, fancy equipment and shiny new rotary blades, it is a dream come true to walk into my studio daily! I never take anything for granted, and I appreciate every dollar I make because there were times I didn't have any, please know that each client I work with is a friend, and I will never judge you skills and I won't even notice your points. I have people ask me all the time if I quilt for "regular people" and the answer is absolutely! I do quilt for The Fat Quarter Shop, and several industry designers for their new books and patterns, but I love ALL my quilty friends and I hope you will mail me your next quilt!!

WOO HOO!! I am SEW excited to share some NEWS!!! I now have an online STORE!! Up until this point I have only sold my services, but I now have a full line of merchandise!! I have been working hard with my BFF Jody to create some unique quilty shirts!! I am a bit on the sassy side so my designs will reflect that, I have a couple shirts with naughty words. Some are simple and sweet, some are a little bit sassy, and some are just as awesome as Austin Texas!
