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.
