In this episode of Running Stitch, host Janneken Smucker sits down with Canadian quilt artist Libs Elliott to explore how technology is reshaping the way we design and make quilts. Known for her use of generative code and bold geometric style, Libs shares how she blends computer code with traditional quilt techniques like English paper piecing. They discuss the role of algorithms, the possibilities and pitfalls of AI, and how social media transformed her quilting journey. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about creativity, code, and the evolving tools of the quiltmaking trade.
