A talented tatter taken far too soon.
Seven years now without your cheerful 'voice' in my inbox. Gina's blog is still 'live' and full of interesting posts. Here's the link to it.

I cherish the times I spent with her but they were far too short.
I love this picture, I'm glad that you share it every year.
ReplyDeleteGina was very special, and I think of her often.
ReplyDeleteI never met Gina in person but chatted through emails. She was my Secret Santa one year and tatted a sweet little Christmas Tree and put it in a red frame. I still have it on my end table with a wooden santa and snowman smoker. I think of her often. She was a lovely lady. Thank you for posting her blog page link.
ReplyDeleteShe is dearly missed. I still have and use her many patterns. I still go to her site often. Always puts a smile on my face. Yes, she is missed.
ReplyDeleteI remember her in the online class. She was very nice. Wish I had known her better.
ReplyDeleteGina was the best! I still visit her blog daily. She has a great list of links. I picture her tatting with that pansy shuttle with the angels.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, Gina’s blog is worth re-visiting.
ReplyDeleteGina WAS the best! Several months ago I was searching for an answer to a knotty little tatting problem and Google took me back to her blog. Ever since then she's been nagging at me that I haven't been devoting enough time to improve my tatting! What are friends for?! We used to email daily even though she was just a few buildings away on campus. What a great person and what a wonderful, sunny legacy she has left us with her blog and our memories.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was first looking up tatting on the internet it was Gina's blog that I returned to again and again. Yes, too soon. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteGina, was a very special person to me, she was in my tatting exchanges and I cherish the thi hs I have from her. She taught me a lot.i think of her every day when I see my pi cushion spoon.
ReplyDeleteHer blog is wonderful, still today. It's a pity that sometimes it is difficult to read, due to images that pop up and hide the pages. Someone should save everything and make an ebook! Thank you for sharing her memory.
ReplyDeleteSadly none of Gina’s family knows the password for her blog, Ninetta.
ReplyDeleteI've tried to make a pdf with printfriendly and it seems working, not for the whole site but for separated intervals, for ex one month. I'm with the smartphone now, I'll try again from the PC.
DeleteYou do know that some of Gina’s work is on my pattern site under ‘Guest Designers’ don’t you, Ninetta?
ReplyDelete:-) thank you!
DeleteAlways sad to remember that day. I use her blog roll all the time, including the other craft sites on the left side; and I often browse through her posts, which are a treasure trove. I actually have some of her tatting, which I cherish! I happened to be a winner of one of her giveaways, and was astounded when a large box came in the mail, filled with various items that she thoughtfully picked out just for me. Thinking of her family and wish I had had the opportunity to meet her. Thanks for this post.
