SPEAKERS:
Krista Moser
Krista is the creative force and inspiration behind Krista Moser, The Quilted Life. She is the designer of the 60 Degree Diamond Rulers for Creative Grids, and has published dozens of patterns, using the rulers, with more in development all the time. She loves symmetry, clean lines with bold colors. She thinks shapes that tessellate in all directions are a playground for design.
A quilting and fiber arts enthusiast, she started sewing at 8 years old. She began her professional sewing and machine quilting career at the spunky age of fourteen and has now been teaching sewing and quilting lessons for more than twenty years.

Karen G. Fisher
Karen G. Fisher has been quilting since 2002, when she made a baby quilt for her first grand-daughter. For that first quilt, she found beautiful fabrics, and cut and stitched until it was finished.
Her trick was that she came from both a sewing background, and an art background, with degrees in Art, Art Education, and a teaching certification in Earth Science. She feels her strongest skill is being able to visualize an idea, and then be able to turn it into fabric. All her quilts happen in her head first, and sometimes they live there a long time before they come out!
Over the years, Karen has focused on learning new techniques, so that when she has an idea, she can figure out how to make it happen. She also loves commercial fabrics, and has built a sizeable inventory to draw from when an idea has reached the “making” stage.
She has won multiple awards, both local and national, over the years. In 2012, her book Easy Grid Quilts was published by AQS. She has had work in several magazines, and currently has two quilts touring with the HERStory exhibit, which premiered at the 2017 Houston Quilt Festival.
