Krista Moser is the creative force and inspiration behind Krista Moser, The Quilted Life. A sewing enthusiast and quilt pattern designer, she has published more

Krista tells her story, how she started very young and went on to design her quilts and patterns. She typically works in design concepts and color theory

She loves to do Q&A if there’s time! It's always a crowd-pleaser.

February Workshop -- Sunday, February 9, 2025
Krista Moser
Double Struck Star
In person class at UCR Palm Desert
9am -- 4pm (6hrs w/ 30 minute lunch)
This cheerful modern quilt is a great stash buster! Come learn from Krista all the tips and tricks for cutting and piecing triangles in an easy, fast, and precise way. If you have been wanting to break out of the same old quilting routine and try something different, this class will inspire confidence and equip you with new techniques. Use up all those fat quarters and stray 2½” strips you have lying around. Entirely strip pieced, this quilt is easy enough for the confident beginner. The colors grade from light to dark so the star looks like it’s bursting. This quilt was designed with kids in mind; jazz up their bedroom or change up the colors and make it patriotic!
