  Krista Moser

  (Joins us in-person)

  Diamonds are a Quilter’s Best Friend

  

  Krista Moser is the designer of the 60 Degree Diamond Rulers for Creative Grids, and published dozens of patterns, using the rulers, with more in development all the time. She loves symmetry, clean lines with bold colors and 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. Her professional sewing and machine quilting career started at the spunky age of fourteen and has been teaching sewing and quilting lessons for more than twenty years.  Please check out her website at https://www.kristamoser.com/

  Ladybug Bloom

  Krista Moser

  January 21, 2026

  
  

  9 AM - 3 PM***

  ***Different time than normal

  Trini Mendenhall Community Center

  1414 Wirt Rd./Houston, TX 77055

  Members $60.00/Non-members $75.00

  This charming pattern with its simple white flowers and ladybug blocks gives you a fresh look without tedious piecing… there are no Y seams! Gain confidence with piecing angles. Triangles, diamonds, hexagons, and trapezoids combine to make three main blocks: the flowers, the ladybugs, and the leaf blocks. Each one illustrates a different technique that will be valuable additions to your quilting skills library. Use a simple palette to get this sweet look, or use scraps from your stash for an eclectic style!

  Important information for people attending the January Lady Bloom workshop. One participant asked me about codes when used to purchase supplies and this is what Krista Moser answered me~~~

  ******

  There is a code for the digital pattern, LBB-GH. We are unable to offer discounts on the ruler. That price is set by the manufacturer of the ruler.

  QGGH Business Meeting

  February 17, 2026

  Linda Stokes

  (Joins us in-person)

  It all started as a little hobby.

  My adventures in the hobbies I’ve started

  Linda joined the Quilt Guild of Greater Houston in 1999 and, although she took a few workshops when her day job schedule permitted, she did not participate too much in guild activities.  That changed when she ran a Charity Quilt Day one year. This was followed by Board positions beginning in 2009 – Program Elect, Evening Programs, Day Chair, President, Quilt Show Chair 2013 and 2015, volunteering at events with the guild such as Learn to Quilt booths and demonstrations at Contemporary Craft Museum, all helped by the fact that she retired from corporate work and had “free” time in retirement.  She is a member of the Comforters Bee.   Participating in the guild has allowed her to have a wide circle of friends – women who are creative, generous and fun to be with. 

  She is a native Texan, graduated from University of Houston with a BBA in Finance and has lived in Houston since 1978 with the greatest husband – some of you know him as X.

  Making Magic, a Disappearing Sampler Quilt

  Brita Nelson

  March 18, 2026

  
  

  9 AM - 4 PM

  ZOOM ONLY!

  Members $50.00/Non-members $65.00

  Do you remember Brita’s lecture in 2024 and how amazed and excited we all were with her disappearing blocks? Now we can learn from her, hands-on, via Zoom so your stash is handy. Make a scrappy quilt or limit your colors, its up to you. No kit to buy (you do have to buy the pattern). We will make 9 different blocks in the workshop. And as if that’s not enough, Brita will give each of us a handout with 20 additional disappearing blocks to use in place of, or in addition to, the 9 in the pattern. The handout does not come with the pattern and is only available to people who attend the workshop.

  (Joins us via Zoom)

  Explore Modern Traditionalism

  Colleen Carlson has been an avid quilter for over 26 years. She’s a Registered Pharmacist and a NACQJ Certified Quilt Judge who thoroughly enjoys all the creativity she has the privilege of judging. Colleen taught “Pencil Play: Explore Modern Traditionalism” as a design class at QuiltCon 2024 in Raleigh, NC. The Tulsa Modern Quilt Guild asked her to convert her three-hour design class into a one-hour Zoom lecture for their guild. Explore Modern Traditionalism was born and first presented in March 2024. Colleen has had quilts juried into Quilt Con, Paducah, and IQF in Houston. She has also been a multiple ribbon winner at Road to California.  Colleen lives in Grand Forks, North Dakota, with her husband, and they have two grown children.

  Explore Modern Traditionalism is a journey about updating traditional blocks and quilts with modern design elements. Colleen recently took four art classes at her local university that opened her to assessing design elements and principles and applying them to quilt design. No mysterious transformations occur: the concepts can be named and used to design your choice.
