Who we are

Designed in Iceland. Proven in quilt shops around the world.

GE Designs was founded by quilt designer Gudrun Erla, who brought her Icelandic patterns to the US in 2003. Since then she has created hundreds of patterns, written more than 20 books, and designed the Stripology ruler line, the industry's best-selling specialty rulers. Her class-programming system gives quilt shops a proven way to fill their classrooms and turn students into repeat customers. Two decades in, we're still family-run.

The Shop Partner Program

More than a wholesale account.

01

A year of class programs, ready to teach

Fresh quilt-alongs, block-of-the-month, and mystery programs every year, built to pull quilters into your classroom and back to your register. Run the ones that fit your shop.

02

Better margin. Free shipping. Year-round.

A deeper partner discount plus free US shipping on every order. For an active shop, it pays for itself over the year.

03

Direct access to Gudrun and the partner network

A quarterly Zoom with Gudrun, first access to new releases, and a national network of partner shops. One stable relationship, not a rotating rep.

The partner network

You'd be in good company.

“The Stripology Shop Partner Program has greatly increased our ruler and pattern sales. It has also given us the opportunity to teach classes using the rulers and patterns, which our customers have really responded to.”

The designer behind it

Work directly with Gudrun.

Gudrun still designs every Stripology program herself, and as a partner you work with her directly. Quarterly Zoom calls, first look at new releases, and a real relationship with the designer, not a rotating rep. She built GE Designs from the first online quilt shop in Iceland, and she is still the one behind the work today.
