🌟 Spotlight Saturday: Meet Gisli! 🌟

This week's Spotlight Saturday shines on someone who has truly grown up with GE Designs—Gisli!

Gisli started working for GE at the ripe old age of 6 years old, packing patterns and earning 10 cents for every dozen he packed. Fast forward to today, and he serves as our Manufacturing Lead, helps produce our live shows, and tackles more than his fair share of random manual labor around the warehouse!

When it comes to quilting, Gisli proudly reports that he has completed 50% of a quilt. After someone else finished it, he was able to donate it to a homeless shelter - a contribution we're sure counts just as much in his book. 😊

Outside of work, Gisli enjoys snowboarding, working on cars, and spending time with his girlfriend Lexie and her daughter Ella.

One fun fact you may not know: Gisli was a Junior Olympic gymnast for 14 years and can still do a standing backflip! 🤸‍♂️

✨ Saturday Spotlight: Meet Jody ✨

We’re excited to shine the spotlight on Jody, our Head of Creative Development Ops, who joined us in December 2024! 💛

Jody brings creativity and passion into everything she does, and it shows. When she’s not working her magic behind the scenes, you’ll likely find her quilting, crocheting, embroidering, or cross stitching - if it involves thread and creativity, she’s all in!

She also loves getting lost in a good audiobook, especially true crime and murder mysteries. (We definitely wouldn’t want to be in one of her stories! 😄)

At home, Jody is a proud mom to her two grown sons, Jory and Jaden, and shares life with her three adorable dogs - Izzy, Emmy, and Max. 🐾

Jody says it best: every day she gets to wake up and live her dream of working in the quilting world, and she’s grateful for each and every moment. And we’re just as grateful to have her on our team! 💕
