Enlightened Quilting Lecture

The most effective way to enhance your quilting skills is to break free from

self-imposed limitations and shift your mindset about your creative process.

As time goes on, quilters can develop counterproductive habits that hinder

creativity and disrupt the natural flow of inspiration. Artists across various

disciplines have recognized that embracing creative flow can unlock new

dimensions in their work, leading to the satisfying, therapeutic effects that we

often associate with quilting. Dr. Andy Wiginton’s Enlightened Quilting is a

philosophy of quilting practice based in the fundamentals of art education,

educational psychology, and holistic learning. Enlightened Quilting is based

on the premise that creative flow yields many positive “side effects” for

quilters and that by changing the way we think about our work, quilters can

improve their craft and expand their creativity.
