LE10 - Rewiring Tradition: How AI is Transforming Creative Endeavors

Curious about how AI fits into the future of quilting—and how to make sure it aligns with your creative vision? Join Theresa for a fast-paced, eye-opening session at QuiltCon 2026. Drawing from her book Digital Muse and her expertise in both quilting and technology, Theresa will demystify AI’s creative potential while revealing its biases and blind spots. Attendees will learn how to use AI as a tool to enhance their originality, not diminish it, and how to avoid common pitfalls that could reinforce outdated stereotypes. Whether they’re new to AI or already experimenting with digital tools, this lecture will challenge assumptions, sharpen their creative eye, and open new doors for quilt projects. With plenty of time for questions, attendees will leave with a fresh perspective on their creative process.

CART (Real-Time Captioning) will be provided for all lectures in the Lecture Hall.
