The Thanksgiving pattern

Something to be thankful for that isn’t the pie.

Thankful is a Thanksgiving quilt in appliqué. Every piece comes printed on Lite Steam-a-Seam 2, plus the digital files. Cut them out, press them down, and skip the tracing.

The tools I use to make these

My old light board only worked with the room lights off. The Cutterpillar one is bright enough to see through with them on.

Cutterpillar Glow Premium II

Cordless, with about 4 hours of battery and a 13 x 19 inch surface, which fits a fat quarter or a full block.

“I am one of those people whose mind was closed to AI. You have opened my mind and now I am excited to dig in. I am 77 years old and not afraid of the computer.”

Who am I?

I’m Theresa Benson. I have an electrical engineering background, I wrote Digital Muse: Bringing AI into your Creative Process, and I teach quilters what AI tools do well, what they get wrong, and where they don’t belong.
