As the holiday season approaches, one of GE Designs' most beloved traditions returns for its sixth year—the Advent Projects Box. This festive experience brings the quilting community together for four weeks of creative inspiration, practical projects, and joyful surprises that make the season even more special.
Quilting is a craft that combines creativity and precision, and at GE Designs, we love making it as easy and enjoyable as possible. That’s why Gudrun Erla has taken classic quilt blocks and Stripologized them—simplifying the process using Stripology rulers and techniques to make cutting and piecing faster, more accurate, and more fun.
What happens when two quilting besties with totally different styles come together to create something new? You get Panel Mash-Up!, a fun, fresh, and truly unique quilting book that blends tradition with modern flair, structure with spontaneity, and timeless design with something fresh and new.
Color is at the heart of every quilt. It’s what gives your design its mood, its vibrance, and its voice. Yet for many quilters, choosing colors can feel daunting. The good news is, color inspiration is everywhere, it’s just a matter of training your eye and trusting your instincts.
Four years ago, we launched Color Club with a simple idea: deliver beautiful, high-quality fabric straight to your door each month to spark creativity, add color to your stash, and connect quilters through a shared love of fabric. Whether you joined us from the very beginning or popped in along the way, you’ve been part of something truly special.
Father’s Day is a time to honor the men who’ve shaped our lives: mentors, teachers, cheerleaders, and role models. At GE Designs, this celebration holds a special meaning, especially for our founder, Gudrun. Her love of making things by hand—designing, building, and crafting with purpose—can be traced back to one very special man: her dad.
At GE Designs, inclusivity is more than a statement—it’s a value woven into the very fabric of who we are.
As we celebrate Pride this June, we want to reaffirm a truth that guides us every day: our support for the LGBTQ+ community is not seasonal. It's a constant, heartfelt commitment that shapes the way we do business, build relationships, and create a welcoming, affirming space for everyone who touches our work.
When Gudrun first started dreaming up Echoes of Iceland, she wasn’t just designing a quilt. She was pulling together memories, traditions, and textures from the place that shaped her — Iceland. The name says it all. This project is full of nods to her homeland, from the colors and layout to the feeling it gives you when it’s all pieced together.
Get ready to Strip Along with us in 2025! Over the course of four weeks, we’ll work together to assemble the stunning Strip N' Dip quilt top. Join us live every Tuesday at 4 PM CST during Tipsy Tuesday, starting May 13th, 2025. Watch and sew along as Gudrun guides you through each step with expert tips, tricks, and plenty of inspiration. Whether you're a seasoned quilter or just starting out, you won’t want to miss this creative and lively quilting adventure!
Teaching is a gift—and during Teacher Appreciation Week, we’re reminded just how impactful it can be. If you’re a quilter who thrives on sharing knowledge, inspiring others, and helping students succeed, becoming a Certified Stripology Instructor may be the perfect next step in your journey.
