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.
"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."
It’s not about numbers on the NOOK. It’s about YOU and YOUR WORK and pushing your own boundaries in a community that will cheer you on every step of the way.
The NOOK offers multiple to learn new things: monthly workshops, special-interest rooms, local meetups, in addition to the daily posts from other members.
There are no ads on the NOOK, just sweet inspiring content designed to get your living your best creative life.

What makes the NOOK different?
The NOOK is designed to feel intuitive like other platforms you may already be used to ↓
We even have the app that we're all pretty crazy about ↓

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?
Quite alright! We’re an international community that spans nearly 20 countries. Because of our geographic diversity, we offer programming across multiple time zones.
Current monthly plans start at $8 USD/month. We want to keep membership as accessible as possible. Sliding scale options and scholarships are available.
Yes! Join today and you’ll have a 3-day free trial period with the option to cancel at any time.
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.
The NOOK is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly. If you ever have any questions, we're always here to help!
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!)
