Meet Theresa Benson!
Theresa Benson is the founder of The AI Quilter, where she teaches at the intersection of quilting, color, and technology.
A self-described fat quarter hoarder and scrappy quilter by design, she has spent years developing systems for working confidently from a stash, including a color-based organization method that makes pulling cohesive quilts feel less like guesswork and a lot more fun.
A regular QuiltCon faculty member and author of Digital Muse: Bringing AI Into Your Creative Process, Theresa teaches quilters and creatives how to use modern tools without losing their voice or their values. Her approach is practical, honest, and a little nerdy in the best possible way.
She’s based in the Chicago area and can be found at theaiquilter.com.
Theresa works with quilt guilds and other creative communities. Click HERE to learn more.

Teachers were asked to give their definition of a scrap, show projects made with scraps, share organizational strategies, and mention their favorite scrap tools and books. You may hear some or all of these helpful tidbits in this Tips and Tools video.

Free Color Tools for Your Scrap Bin
Every piece in your scrap bin was picked by a different version of you, on a different day, in a different shop. No wonder they do not agree with each other.
In this class I will show you how I make a scrap quilt look like every fabric in it was chosen for it, using tools that cost nothing.
You will leave with a free sheet of everything I used, a printable set of value sorting cards, and one thing you can do this afternoon without turning on a computer at all.
*This class becomes available at 9:00am CST (UTC -6) on the day listed above and is online for free viewing for 48 hours. CONVERT THE TIME TO YOUR TIME ZONE to ensure you don’t miss it.
Free for All Attendees
- Supply list
- Class Bonus – Step-by-step notes from the class, along with some additional prompts and value cards.
