Gudruns’ 10th anniversary

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.

 I am completely intrigued by the curved piecing projects.

I looked for years for a round kitchen table. Once I saw these place mats,
I thought  this was sheer brilliance.

 Jump in and make any of the table runners with precuts.
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!

    I'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.

    I 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.

    I'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!

  4. 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!

    I need to put all of Gudrun's books on my wish list. I haven't seen a project I haven't liked. Congrats to Gudrun on 10 years in the business.

    Thank you for the chance to win some wonderful prizes.

    Curved placemats for a round table that is brilliant and something I need for my breakfast nook table. This is definitely a book I am going to have to put on my list.
