She was born and raised in Iceland and currently lives in Minnesota with her family: Atli (23), Gisli (16), Svana (15) and a puppy Koby. When Gudrun isn\u2019t quilting, she likes to cook, enjoy outdoor activities, run and exercise or just relax with friends.<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/faculty\/meet-road-2017-teacher-gudrun-erla\/attachment\/gudrun-erla3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4250\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4250\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gudrun-Erla3.jpg\" alt=\"Gudrun Erla3\" width=\"364\" height=\"546\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\nGudrun got into quilting by happening to take a class. \u00a0She gets inspired for her quilting from just about everywhere. She says she never knows what will spark an idea; she is open to anything.\nHer Stripology Ruler is her favorite \u00a0quilting tool. It saves her so much time cutting anything and makes everything so accurate and easy.<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/faculty\/meet-road-2017-teacher-gudrun-erla\/attachment\/gudrun-erla\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4252\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4252\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gudrun-Erla.jpg\" alt=\"Gudrun Erla\" width=\"439\" height=\"439\" \/><\/a>\nGudrun has taught quilt classes as far away as her native Iceland and in Alberta, Canada. She likes teaching because she likes to get to know her students and share in their success in class She can adapt quickly to any class situation, One time when she was teaching, Gudrun was doing a lecture on Stripology and had planned to show all the quilts out of her newest Stripology book. The only problem was, she left the bag with all the quilts at home so she had to quick-like reorganize her lecture around the quilts she did have with her.\nShe is hoping that all her students at Road to California 2017 will have a fun day of sewing with her, meeting new people and learning a few things in the process. Gudrun wants everyone to go home confident in continuing and finishing the projects they started in class.<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/faculty\/meet-road-2017-teacher-gudrun-erla\/attachment\/gudrun-erla4\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4249\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4249\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gudrun-Erla4.jpg\" alt=\"Gudrun Erla4\" width=\"437\" height=\"452\" \/><\/a>\nWhat is Gudrun\u2019s favorite quilting tip? Relax and enjoy the journey.
