Theresa Benson is a quiltmaker, pattern designer, author and heart-centered teacher who has combined her love for quilting with AI. With a background in Electrical Engineering and expertise in artificial intelligence, she’s created a unique niche—bringing the world of tech and quilting together. Her workshops cover everything from color theory to AI applications, helping quilters of all skill levels explore fresh ways to express themselves. And why do I say heart-centred teacher? She makes the sometimes scary or unknown topic of AI very approachable for quilters and explores ways we can use it to boost our own creative path.

My guest today is Jane Haworth! Her journey is pretty amazing. She started off making heartwarming memory quilts turning people's T-shirts and special clothes into beautiful keepsakes. But over time, something shifted. Jane began creating art for herself, following her own creative path instead of only making custom quilts for others. Now she's known for her incredible pet portraits and fabric collage workshops and her quilts can be seen at major quilt shows across the country. She is an award-winning art quilter and she loves teaching, speaking, and traveling to share her creative process.
