Welcome, I’m Nicole!

Quilter and Chocolate Connoisseur

I work with people who are totally ready to learn how to quilt but just don’t know where to start.  I help them learn the fundamentals of sewing, while making it feel like they’re enjoying a girls’ night in.

I can’t tell you how many times a woman I’ve worked with has started a conversation with “I wish I knew how to sew!  How do all these old ladies just KNOW?!  Is it a skillset that just falls into your lap one day?  Yup.  Sewing and an AARP card.”  LOL ok, maybe not that last part.  But you get where I’m going with this.I’ve helped 1700+ newbie crafters figure out how to thread a needle, baste a stitch, and even tune up their sewing machine motors.  I’ve been featured on Millie’s Baseside Chats and been referred to as “a milspouse to watch in 2020.”

And when I’m not sewing and recording podcast episodes, I can be found hiding from my kids, eating a chocolate bar in a closet.  Who’s idea was it to have 3 kids under the age of 7 anyway?!

If you’re dying to know, here are 3 things you don’t know about me:

  • I’m a military spouse who has lived in 6 states over the last 9 years
  • I’m like a human swiss army knife. I can build a website, change a tire, and organize a 5 figure fundraiser without smearing my eyeliner
  • When I need to destress, I check into a hotel down the street, pig out on Oreos, and binge watch Shonda Rhimes dramas.

Did you know…

You can learn to quilt from the comfort of your own home?

My course, Learn to Quilt in 60 Days, is a fantastic at home course that you can do at your own pace.

I’m obsessed with sewing machine and helping others find the best machine for their needs.. Beyond just showing students how to sew and quilt, I also assist my students as they outgrow their machines. I really help them narrow down the important features to them and guide them towards the machine that will best suit their goals.

Quilt alongs are kind of my jam. Whether it’s a hot new pattern or just a cool skill builder, I’ve usually got a sew along (or 2!) going. This is a great way to get some mentorship and community during your sewing journey!

“Nicole is very patient and explained the different steps and their purposes clearly. She improved my original idea to better accomplish my overall goal. I highly recommend Nicole as an instructor and would personally have another session in a heartbeat!”

Curious how I can help you…
