GE Designs Quilting Escapes: Travel Designed Just for Us

If you’ve ever joined a quilting retreat or spent time with fellow makers, you know there’s something magical about connecting through creativity. Ideas flow, friendships form, and inspiration seems to pop up everywhere. That exact feeling-of community, joy, and shared passion-is what inspired Gudrun to create GE Quilting Escapes.

After years of leading quilting trips around the world, Gudrun realized she wanted something more tailored-not just a travel experience with occasional quilting moments, but journeys intentionally designed for the GE Designs community. Experiences built around what our quilters value most:

✨ Creativity
✨ Connection
✨ Fun
✨ A warm, supportive community

GE Quilting Escapes was born from that vision: meaningful, memory-filled adventures crafted specifically for our people.

What Makes GE Quilting Escapes Unique

These are not one-size-fits-all quilting tours. Each Escape is thoughtfully designed with the GE Designs quilter in mind-but with room for variety in the experience.

Some trips will include dedicated sewing time, workshops, or hands-on projects. Others may not involve sewing at all, but instead focus on textile-inspired outings, cultural experiences, local fiber arts, and educational opportunities that spark creativity in new ways.

No matter the format, every Escape blends:

• Inspiration through quilting, textiles, and fiber arts

• Time to connect with Gudrun and fellow GE quilters

• Beautiful destinations and curated cultural experiences

• A welcoming, relaxed environment where everyone feels included

It’s not just a vacation.
It’s a creative journey, shared with your quilting community.

Iceland Trips: Sold Out & Truly Special

Our Iceland Escapes sold out quickly, and it’s easy to see why. These trips weave together stunning landscapes, local textile heritage, Icelandic culture, and meaningful time with the GE community. Even without sewing machines, inspiration is everywhere-from wool traditions to breathtaking scenery.

If you missed out, don’t worry—more unforgettable adventures are already on the horizon.

Coming Up Next: GE Quilting Cruise — January 2027

While our Iceland trips are full, we are thrilled to highlight our next major adventure:
✨ The GE Quilting Cruise in January 2027 ✨

This Escape will include sewing, making it the perfect blend of quilting time, ocean views, and travel fun. Imagine:

• Workshops and guided sewing sessions with Gudrun

• A ship full of quilters who love GE Designs

• Beautiful port stops and inspiring scenery

• Relaxation, friendship, and creativity all in one trip

It will be an amazing way to start the year and a rare chance to experience a true quilt retreat at sea.
