about
Creating a beautiful world... one idea, one quilt, one pattern, one company, one relationship at a time
Passionate about creativity, driven by the success of a project, but touched by putting a smile of joy on someone’s face. Jina Barney Designz is all about bringing happiness through quilting, sewing and handwork.
Jina’s philosophy on
getting things done
My husband teases me because I tackle a project with the resources at my disposal, however inadequate they may be. When I have an idea in my mind I want to attack it now! I don’t think about how to organize my cutting table or whether my mouse is freely flowing on my desk. I just dive in and create!
I’ve never had shiny object syndrome, I’m not a gadget person. I just think of the most efficient way of getting things done with what I have now.
“Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you can.”
– Arthur Ashe
