This week, I’m joined by the wildly creative Teresa Fiehn Millies—quilter, teacher, tarot enthusiast, and the mind behind the *Quilter’s Inspiration Deck*. Teresa blends her love of improv quilting and tarot to spark spontaneous, intuitive creativity with nothing more than fabric scraps and a shuffled deck. We talk about her journey from traditional quilting to making bold political statements with her art (hello, "Quilters Against Fascism" stickers!), teaching patchwork at College of DuPage, and how learning to trust herself has shaped her practice. Teresa also shares her dream of seeing her work in an art museum, reflects on her past podcast about tarot, and gives us a peek behind the scenes of her colorful world—both online and off. Explore more of Teresa’s work at [teresafiehnmillies.com](https://teresafiehnmillies.com/) and on Instagram [@queen.of.marigold](https://www.instagram.com/queen.of.marigold). Want to see more?
