Featuring Gudrun Erla​

QUILTS OF ICELAND LECTURE & TRUNK SHOW

Gudrun Erla, the design 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, quilting brought her to Minnesota in 2003.  Since then, Gudrun has been designing full time, and publishing patterns and books from her home office in Chanhassen, MN.

Gudrun loves to take traditional ideas and put a little bit of modern spin on them.  Her “quilt as you go” as well as patterns for precuts have been very popular, with easy to follow instructions and quick assembly and finishing.  All her patterns are geared toward today’s quilt makers, easy and innovative with a modern touch.  She has published patterns and books on strip quilts for years and designed the best selling Stripology ruler with Creative Grids as well as the Stripology Squared ruler. 

Gudrun has written 20 books, along with her self-published books; she has written for Martingale, C & T, Kansas City Star and Leisure Arts.  Her patterns have been published in all the major magazines such as American Patchwork and Quilting, Quiltmaker, Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting and Quilty.  She has taped educational classes for both Craftsy and Craft University.

Gudrun travels to teach and lecture both nationally and internationally, year round and escorts quilting tours to Iceland and other destinations. 

Guests are welcome to attend our quarterly meetings; there is a $10 charge payable at the door.
