Dear Karen, Thanks for having Gudrun on. Those of us who follow her know what a rock star she is. Thanks also for all of your other great interviews!

[@gwynwellliver4489]

I found Gudrun and GEDesigns during the pandemic and became a certified GE junkie. I have all her books, rulers, and other patterns. I have learned so much and definitely straddle both worlds, engaging in her encouraged rebel behavior. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@dianeschwalm3855]

I recently got back k from a 10 day Caribbean cruise with her. What an amazing experience! We worked on 2 Stripology patterns, with a room full of quilters from all over the globe. Gudrun and her husband are genuinely kind and caring people to be around and get to know. So many lasting memories were made during that adventure, that I’m looking forward to doing it again in the future!

[@kjordan5456]

Going next year! Can't wait!

[@hazeldw4786]

Although I am new to quilting, this month is my 1yr anniversary, I have already bought the Stripology XL & the squared mini. I LOVE THEM! They are game changers! I have miserable arthritis in my hands that caused me to stop crocheting several years ago. Finding my creative outlet through quilting has been life changing for me. Adding the Stripology rulers to my toolbox has made it even easier on my uncooperative body. Thank you for this interview Karen. Hopefully anyone else out there with arthritis will see your interview and learn about these great rulers.

[@kathycarman8282]

Thanks to Gudrun for that lovely quilt along…I participated and made a quilt for my grandson. He is very happy with it

[@niquestenz9355]

I LOVE my Stripology XL. It's probably my favorite ruler ever. Thanks for creating it.

[@ellenbarry758]

Karen I also want to thank you for not only having Gudrun on but for your wonderful videos too. I really enjoy and learn from them.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

You are so welcome!

[@d.thomas1302]

You are Gurdrun are my 2 favorite people as I started quilting in 2019 after retiring.

[@kimberlyholborn1324]

The Quilts of Iceland book is wonderful!! Great quilt patterns and recipes as well as gorgeous photos. It is a real treat I’ve read over and over again. Gudrun has great ideas and her Stripology rulers save so much time.

[@dianagrant9479]

i've had my stripololgy ruler for years. i could update but it does what i need it to do. it's nice to meet its maker. Thanks Gudrun, thanks Karen.

[@lexitejeda6209]

I think Gudrun is a genius. I found her through Daniella’s (Cozy Quilts) recommendation when she was doing a pandemic quilt-a-long, and I’ve done a couple of Gudrun’s quilt-a-longs as well. Love her rulers. Great interview!

[@marshawright3433]

I truly appreciate every interview you have done. This interview with designer of Stripology ruler reminded me to learn how to use this tool and so I did at 6am this morning. My mind was blown away😮 with sprinkles 😁… It was so much fun and super easy to cut my binding strips… Thank you, Karen!

[@chicletlux]

I have the first iteration of this ruler and I love it.

[@stevemcmillin2737]

Great interview. I had seen the Stripology Ruler demonstrated at my quilt shop but thought it was soooo expensive. Then they were moving to a larger store and were having great sales and I bought the XL ruler. I love that darn thing! I prefer cutting my own fabric vs. buying so many precuts because of the price. It does take a minute to make sure you have everything folded nicely and flat the ruler does the rest of the work. It helps with very accurate cutting.

[@nancybailey1635]

Love Gudrun’s designs. I have all her books, patterns, rulers and many of her stash builder bundles. I’ve participated in all of her QAL’s and watch her weekly.

[@donnabosomworth7989]

Great interview. Love Gudrun’s XL Stripology ruler. Beautiful quilt behind Gudrun, can wait for the Billie pattern release!💕

[@GradMus1c]

When my favorite LQS closed, I followed a favorite employee to GE. Discovering Gudrun and their massive library of teaching videos for patterns using stripology rulers has added a new dimension to my quilting.

[@marygem]

I can imagine that quilts will be enjoyed in chilly Iceland. 😊

[@lindaroberts2584]

The stripology rulers are gamechangers!!! Accuracy- efficiency - safety!

[@helenpeddycord2241]

Love the Stripology ruler💕🧵

[@conniewhitten8660]

Wow my two favorite quilting people! Love watching thanks

[@MicheleRedman-dv9cu]

Thanks for the great interview with Gerdun, Iceland, business, design, family AND quilts.

[@barbaralazier8352]

Iceland here we come 🎉🎉🎉 another super guest. Her personality shines through. Delightful. I have the XL truly an amazing ruler

[@TarahMatson-zz2hj]

Thank you for a wonderful interview. Thank you Gudrun for the Stripology ruler. I absolutely love it! Hugs to both of you from the Twin Cities.❤️

[@susanwid2099]

Another informative and interesting interview. Thanks Karen!

[@cynthiajones1461]

What a wonderful treat this morning!

[@jpowley2691]

I love Stripology and I love GE. I just pre-ordered her new book too.

[@doreensherk287]

This has been an amazing interview, I have seen these rulers in shops for a long time and have never bought one, I think I will now. Thank you Karen for this video, I really enjoyed listening to Gudrun.

[@jennystrahley927]

This was terrific, Karen and Gudron! I have the XL and Squared Stripology Rulers and love them both but I'm sure I don't use them to their full potential. I subscribed to GE Designs YT channel so I can learn more about them. Karen you bring us the best interviews--thanks!

[@dawnthrift6796]

Love Gudrun and GE Designs. I have been a fan since the beginning!

[@jayanthirao9726]

What a great interview!! Really enjoyed it. Have a good time at Iceland Karen 🩷

[@delwyngraham4033]

Awesome again thanks Karen and guest😊

[@barbarah5742]

What a treat! Two of my favorite quilters in the same 'room' having a chat. Love you both!

[@brendabeane6498]

I have all of Stripology rulers and love 💕💕 them all

[@dianneholcombe3468]

I went to Gudrun's booth at QuiltCon 24 and actually got to speak to her. She was very pleasant and answered everyone's questions very patiently. I took advantage of their sale and came home with two rulers. Where have they been all my life!? Thanks for a great interview!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I have not tried one yet....maybe I should

[@daleodberg6714]

That was great, thank you both.

[@sueneuber4729]

I loved this interview. I have my “pandemic quilt. I’ve had a striplogy ruler for a long time. GREAT ~ ruler !!!]Have fun in Iceland

[@janiewilliams5803]

Good interview, Karen. You are always so well prepared with your questions. Thank you!

[@jennifermaddock4382]

Great interview. I love her Stripology ruler.

[@gisellejones1139]

Delightful interview😊

[@kathleenhaywood6142]

What an amazing quilter! I loved visiting Iceland. I know it sounds hokey, but do go to the Blue Lagoon...it is a wonder of the world. 😊

[@coquetscache]

thanks for the great interview Karen, flawless as always!

[@lindag6752]

Really enjoyed the visit. I watch Gudrun all the time on KZbin!

[@KimVossRushGrl]

Thanks! I love her rulers. Good interview!

[@molamola7093]

Fantastic interview. The Stripology XL changed my quilting life.

[@carmenbailey1560]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing sharing 👍❤️🙂

[@dorothyhighum1214]

Great show of two of my favorite people!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you

[@juliemorrison4348]

Congratulations on your stripology ruler Gudrun. I have heard about it but not seen one used. I follow Tinna in Iceland with her beautiful mosaic crotchet. I think it's out of need to be able to make quilts and blankets for warmth.👍♥️🇦🇺

[@sherryfaires7931]

This was a great informative interview! Thanks Karen and Gudrun!

[@cpitz5298]

loved seeing her at QuiltCon this year. Didn’t want to lug books around all day, so decided to go back at end of day…. well, only 1 of the 3 I wanted were still there. Enjoyed watching the demo on her ruler amy have to find/order one… Great interview Karen!

[@BJ7481]

I love all the Stripology rulers. I own all 5 of them. I purchased the Master Your Stripology® Rulers Book, and it's the best book for Stripology ruler owners.

[@lynnetteross995]

Great interview and fascinating to hear Gudran, as I have just begun to use a Stripology ruler.

[@user-mp9ur3bj1f]

I participated in several of her quilalongs and theQuarantini is my favorite drink. Love her and Mr. HP BEST RULER EVER

[@carolynrockafellow417]

Another fantastic interview. Can’t wait to check out the KZbin videos and rulers. Thank you, Karen. My friend has been to Iceland several times and discovers something new every time. Her son is a photographer and been there many times and the photos he has taken have been in magazines and they are breathtaking. You’ll enjoy your trip there.. for sure.

[@karenwhitley7211]

Excellant interview. I seen her around but nice to get more details about GE Design. Thanks Karen

[@jeannehoffman1060]

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Subscribed to her channel. Thank you!

[@sherriejohnson508]

Thank you I enjoy each program

[@michelledagerman9970]

Thanks for the great interview it was good getting to know more about Gudrun. I am learning how to use the stripology ruler and some of her patterns. So fast to cut strips! Amazing!

[@gquilter36]

Thank you Karen for another great. Interesting and informative interview.😊

[@marysuedavis7024]

Awesome

[@lizagervais8621]

Great interview!

[@karenemerton5128]

Great interview!!!

[@debbieyoungstrom5378]

Thanks for having Gudrun on the show. I recently purchased her stripology XL ruler and am so excited to learn how to use it (and maybe a little scared too!) But I have lots of scraps to practice on! 😂

[@joydicksonquilts]

I love my Stripology rulers, I have the first one, the XL, and the Squared. Fantastic rulers. Thank you for this interview

[@263bk4]

great interview!

[@karenminer5805]

Very interesting guest! Love your show. I love her rulers!

[@Cassandra-..-]

LOVE the Stripology ruler! So many uses.

[@sonyamah5444]

What a great energy…

[@dorothydishman4664]

Thanks for another enjoyable interview.

[@ellenbarry758]

I love the XL ruler and use it all the time

[@peggygunderson5578]

Thanks you Karen so much for this interview with Gudrun! I have done one of her patterns and just used a regular ruler. Watch her every week.

[@nicolehenry9530]

Skogar museum worth the detour! Being there in 2022 You gone love it

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Okay...it's on the list of things to do

[@dianaballew6329]

Karen, I enjoy your interviews. So many interesting artists and I love your warm and intelligent interview style.

[@colleenquiltstoo]

I have the original Stripology ruler. It is like the XL but doesn’t have the squaring up lines. I use it all the time and love it! Thanks for a very interesting interview

[@cherieiduke1723]

Two of my favorite people in one interview

[@valeriesuttonpayne7413]

Great interview. She’s a spitfire, as we say in the South!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thank you for this great interview. I love my XL! I hope you get a chance to visit that waterfall and museum she described! ❤☀

[@maryviti6799]

Karen, Wow!

[@teresacesario6247]

You’re just awesome with interviews!!!!

[@IRISHLASS273]

Pleasant interview with Gudrun. Any chance of you having Canadian quilter Terry Aske as a guest? I find her work interesting.

[@cr2884]

i believe i purchased one of your first stripology ruler. i didn’t use it for a few years after purchasing at road to california. i LOVE the ruler. for cutting same size strips like boarder, binding, etc. wonderful!!!!

[@fransak2723]

I don’t know where I’ve been but I’m not familiar with Gudrun. That is about to change. I recently bought a used June Taylor strip cutting ruler and I love it. I will look into her rulers when I am ready to upgrade.

[@barbarakowalski7327]

When you do watch her videos.

[@Sewwithdebee]

Great interview Karen enjoy listening as I sew

[@beccas.6983]

I've been looking forward to trying my new Stripology ruler! With my ADHD, i struggle with processes that require multiple steps because my short-term memory isn't great, so I get distracted easily. Cutting strips is ROUGH--even though it's the same thing over and over again, I always lose my spot any time I have to move my rule. 😅 I'm so glad this exists!

[@carolg.6838]

Thanks Karen for your videos and interviews. Been reading the very positive comments about Gundrun as I watch. Had not heard of her! I have catching up to do. I want to get to the point where piecing and quilting are a lot less stressful. I will look her up!

[@user-mp9ur3bj1f]

Definitely watch the video

[@sharonhammer3901]

Never heard of Gudrun or her rulers. Checked it out. Outrageously expensive. I will not spend that on more rulers. Love the quilt displayed behind Gudrun and intend to copy it without using her rulers. I think she named the pattern 'Billy". I'm surprised that so many quilters are willing to pay for these even if they are as wonderful as advertised.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Money spent on a good tool that you use all time is money well spent no matter what the craft

[@notesfromleisa-land]

My time is valuable. The time I save using the Stripology ruler more than makes up for the small investment on this ruler. I can save 2/3 of the time in cutting. My time is valuable. I cannot afford to spend time using less efficacious methods. The ruler, therefore, is very inexpensive to me.

[@MrMvfgogo]

So cool, I have that tool and I live I the Stpete area too

[@carolynfrench6792]

Karen, Gudrun is an excellent teacher I have done a couple sew alongs with her always learning. I had her square ruler for quite some time and really didn’t know how to use correctly. Now It is about the only ruler I use. I would urge you to get one or two. You want be sorry.

[@delmariesnodgrass5038]

Thank you Karen for the lovely interview with Gudrun Erla. I have been following Gudrun since 2019. I have most of her books, patterns, and all of the rulers. The XL is my favorite and I use it everyday. I thoroughly enjoy your interviews and tutorials. I have learned so much from you and always consult your videos if I need help. Thank you 💞

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

You are so welcome!

[@notesfromleisa-land]

I always recommend the Stripology ruler. It is a small cost for the amount of time you save (2/3rds) and the amount of accuracy you achieve. My time is expensive; fabric is expensive; this ruler is cheap as it has paid for itself many times over. Now, I'm way too cheap to spend money on BlocLoc rulers.

[@santisageorge4154]

Icelandic Quilts

[@denisestilling2810]

Cool person…where’s the discount to creative grid stripology ruler? Lol😂

[@rangertuck9158]

Ah. 4 hours late.

[@ReyRodriguezvidrionativo]

I'm not a fan of the stripology ruler. I always had the elbows...

[@gaylekush1332]

Have you watched her video on how to use the XL? She explains how to line up your fabric for a perfect strip every time. I haven't had an elbow since!

[@elizabethcollins8817]

I have a stripology ruler-I need to utilize it a bit more ✂️🧵🪡
