The NOOK is a safe space for creative folks of all skill levels who are dedicated to exploring textiles and self-expression in community
I know what it takes to get you plugged in. With 18 years of teaching in public schools and over 10 years of quilting, I know what it takes to build community, connect people together in meaningful ways, and ignite your creativity.
- you will energize your creative process with monthly challenges
- you will form meaningful relationships with like-minded makers
- you will gain greater insight into why you sew the way you do
"I felt immediate kinship when I joined the NOOK! I am a beginner and I adore experimental quilting but I need to feel connected to others in order to learn."
"This community is so welcoming, accepting and open. I feel encouraged and enlivened to create my way."
"I didn't have any friends who quilt, so before I found the NOOK, I had to cobble together techniques from YouTube. Now I have access to a whole community who can answer my questions."

Excited about the NOOK but have a question?
Excited about the NOOK but have a question?
I’m on Instagram and Facebook. Why do I need to join a community?
Social media can be a wonderful resource. It brought you here after all! But many of us have complex relationships with these apps. There are several reasons, but most importantly, there’s no defined community on social media. We can post and share there, but when do we actually connect with others?
What if I don’t live in the US?
Quite alright! We’re an international community that spans nearly 20 countries. Because of our geographic diversity, we offer programming across multiple time zones.
How much does the NOOK cost?
Current monthly plans start at $8 USD/month. We want to keep membership as accessible as possible. Sliding scale options and scholarships are available.
Is there a free trial?
Yes! Join today and you’ll have a 3-day free trial period with the option to cancel at any time.
How does the NOOK support BIPOC and LGBTQ+ members?
Our diversity is our strength, and we do our best to make sure everyone feels invited, welcomed, and valued in the NOOK. We regularly invite queer makers and makers of color to lead workshops and guide the direction of the NOOK. There are also private rooms set aside in the NOOK for both BIPOC and LGBTQ+ makers to connect.
What if I’m not good with technology?
The NOOK is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly. If you ever have any questions, we're always here to help!
Can I leave anytime I want?
Yes, there is no time commitment. Stay for as long or as little as you'd like. (But we'll try our best to win you over!)
