Welcome to day 8 of the anniversary event.
We have been celebrating Gudrun's 10 years in this country and 10
years of GE Designs.
What does Fast and Furious mean to you?
Is it the movie starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker?
Or is it Gundrun's books?
In each of the books she gives instructions and techniques to make
adorable projects fast. Once you have made any of the projects,
you will be
FURIOUS
that you have not tried them before.
I don't know for sure that is how she came up with the titles,
but makes perfect sense to me.

you will be
FURIOUS
that you have not tried them before.
I don't know for sure that is how she came up with the titles,
but makes perfect sense to me.
I thought this was sheer brilliance.
Fast, Fast, Fast
Time does go by so fast.
I remember meeting Gudrun at her first quilt market,
so I am thrilled to be a part of her celebration.
Leave a comment here and Gudrun has supplied a
copy of her new book,
Fast and Furious Home
as a giveaway.
I will throw in a moda goody bag also.
Drawing for the winner from this post
will be listed here on August 15th.
BUT, guess what?
There's more.
The quilt on the cover will be given away as the
Grand Prize
during the blog tour
on Gudrun's site on August 15th.
Be sure to visit all the sites on the blog tour for lots more
fun, inspiration and giveaways!

Fast and Furious is both the names for the movie and the book. I just love the projects Gudrun has in her book and this would be quite the possession to own. Congratulations to her on her 10th anniversary. Thank you for the chance to win and I will always enjoy your blog.

Have LOVED Gudrun's blog hop and her patterns are just inspired. I recently bought a round kitchen table and have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what kind of placemats to buy/make/steal. Hers are just genius and make me wonder duh! why didn't I think of that?
ReplyDeleteI would love to make some projects from this book--I love Gudrun's designs. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt designs and beautiful fabrics!! Congrats Gudrun on your 10th anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the opportunity to win one of Gudrun's designs. And I love moda fabrics too! Keep on celebrating this anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed Gudrun's books patterns over the years. I had never put her book title together with the movie - duh! Now my quilting time will be even better. I'll sew and think of all the hunks on the movie!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the book and goody bag. Today's my birthday, what a great gift these would make! :)
Love your blog!
Congrats Gudrun on your 10th anniversary! Fast and Furious looks great! I would love to try some of the patterns.....with moda fabric:)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a new book. I really enjoy your blog jillfroelich@yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteLove the hop and Gudrun's patterns! Thank you for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteLove the bed runner on the cover of Fast and Furious home. Making a king size quilt is a daunting task but a bed runner seems do-able! Thanks for the give away!

I love the Fast and Furious cover quilt!
ReplyDeleteCount me in please!
Okay... I NEED that pattern for the curved place mats for a round table. Each year my church does a Christmas Tea; these place mats would be perfect for the round tables we set up.
ReplyDeleteGudrun's book is sew inspiring, I love all the patterns.
ReplyDeleteHa...why did you have to remind me of those movies! I really love some of the table runners I've seen from that book, thank you so much for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI have an oval dining room table, so I always have trouble getting placemats to fit. Square/rectangular ones work on the sides, but not so much on the ends. Rounded ones fit the ends great, but look weird on the sides. Seeing the Gundrun's fan shaped placemats has my creative juices flowing! Fans on the ends, strips on the sides? Oh, yeah!
ReplyDeleteGudrun has great ideas and add Moda fabrics, no wonder I like her projects!
ReplyDeletehaving a great time on the blog hop, love Gudrun's books, thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteLove the Fast & Furious Holidays book. Can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Fast & Furious Home! And a Moda goody bag? I'm crossing my fingers!
ReplyDeleteLOL Love your caption with Vin Diesel! Perfect. :-) I am loving the blog hop and all the fantastic quilts Gudrun has made. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteLove Gudrun's books and projects. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteCan we have both....Vin Diesel or Paul Walker wrapped in a beautiful Gudrun quilt!!! I love Gudrun's beautiful designs! Thank you! anglanouette at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteThe books look great. I love the place mats for a round table, they are genius. Thank you for a wonderful giveaway.
ReplyDeleteFast and Furious...that's how I quilt in Dec. I am sure there would be many patterns in those books to help me do that. The sound intriguing.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting give-away! I love all of these!
ReplyDeleteOoooo, looks like so much fun. thanks for the give away.
ReplyDeleteI really want to try one of Gudrun's quilt as you go patterns. I am doing one of her quilts and just love the way it is going together.
ReplyDeleteLove love love Gudrun's patterns and fabrics! Thanks for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteMy own version of fast And furious usually involves a seam ripper and a couple of do overs. I could probably learn a lot from Ms. GE.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Gudrun! I discovered I've used one of her patterns before! It was great
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying the anniversary celebration and I can see why Gudrun likes to use your fabric designs for her patterns. Thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI met Gundrun at Block Party in March,m I'd love some Moda to go with her new Book. Thanks for joining in the fun of her 10 Years of Quilting.
ReplyDeleteYesterday was my first introduction to Gudrun's work on Pat Sloan's webpage. I am so excited to see her beautiful patterns and would love to win her book!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen curved place mats before! We have a round table that these would be perfect for. Gudrun has a wonderful talent for coming up with some wonderful projects! I would love to win her book!
ReplyDeleteI'm really falling in love with this GE style. Especially the Scandinavian designs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sneak peek in GE Designs! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteLove the placemats. Might have to try those since I have a round kitchen table.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!!
Yeah, it's kinda sad that my first thought when I saw the title of her book was "and how does this relate to really fast cars and beefy guys?" hahahaha! My husband is a fan of those movies and I've had to suffer through all 6 of them... I'd much rather enjoy this book and some Moda goodies! Thanks for the opportunity at salvation!
