If you love quilting, you know that learning new techniques and improving your skills is an ongoing journey. At GE Designs, we’re passionate about making that journey enjoyable, engaging, and accessible to all quilters and skill levels. That’s why we created Stripology Video Classes, an invaluable resource for anyone who loves fabric, creativity, and a good quilt project.
At GE Designs, we’re all about creativity—whether it’s in quilting or the kitchen! If you’ve tuned in to our live shows, Happy Friday and Perfect Pair, you know that great food and drinks is just as much a part of the fun as fabric and quilting tips.
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.
We’re thrilled you’re here! We are a digital one-stop shop for everything quilting. Our founder Gudrun Erla, the designer and owner of GE Designs was born and raised in Iceland. She started quilting at the age of 23. After owning and running quilt shops in her home country and designing patterns along the way, quilting brought her to Minnesota in 2003. Since then Gudrun has been designing full time, publishing patterns and books from just west of the Twin Cities.
Gudrun loves to take traditional ideas and put a little bit of a modern spin on them. All her patterns and books are geared toward today’s quilt makers, easy and innovative with a modern touch. She has published patterns and books as well as designed groundbreaking tools for quilting for years, including the best selling Stripology rulers.
At GE Designs, our mission is to create high-quality quilting products and experiences that inspire creativity and promote wellbeing among our coworkers, customers, and community. As a family owned business, we value the power of a strong community and strive to cultivate a workplace culture that fosters collaboration, respect, and personal growth. We are committed to innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility in all aspects of our business. Whether someone is an experienced quilter or just starting out, we're dedicated to providing them with the tools and support they need to express their creativity, connect with others, and enhance their overall wellbeing.
