Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Love Nancy--have learned so much from her. She keeps up with the newest sewing trends and covers every aspect of sewing--not just garment sewing. I used to tape her before she began showing episodes on the internet. Hope she has many more fun years of showing us the best ways to make our sewing a pleasant experience. I just shared her latest technique of ending a quilt binding with a friend--she used it and loved it.
You can go to www.nancyzieman.com and watch shows she has had on recently. I do that if I miss a show. We are so lucky we get her here on PBS channel 8:00 tp 8:30 every week day. We have other shows between 8:30 and 9:30 weekdays, all sewing/quilting craft related. Thank you Nancy, I have watched you for many years, you used to com on in Ft. Worth every afternoon and I would tape them. Your a bless to so many of us. Just love your large blck quilt, have directions to make it all written down. Look forward to more years.

I'm working on the 30-minute doll clothes featured on her show. I ordered the pattern from her website. I was fortunate once to get to visit her store in Wisconsin...very nice shop and great selection of lots of fun items!
My husband and I were talking yesterday, "Isn't that the American dream?" Working so long at something you love to do? It's great to see a Midwestern gal start a business, and succeed!
I loved the story of how she met her husband - she had an interview after she graduated, with a Mr ZIEMAN - yes, he became her husband so many years ago.
It was a treat to see some of the behind the scenes of the show
You know that feeling when you've finished all your quilting projects and your studio is perfectly clean???? Me neither.
It's not how fast you sew, it's how well you sew fast! Wait, I think that's supposed to be MOW!
I probably wouldn't be quilting had it not been for Sewing with Nancy. It was how I learned, there wasn't anyone around to teach me while I was raising kids. Also gave me confidence to try something new. Mary
Neesie, I had the exact experience that you describe... had a chance to meet Nancy at an event a few years ago where she spoke.. and stood there like a dolt! Didn't have a clue what to say. She's a fun speaker, too. She's not quite as conservative as she appears on the show...she's got a little sass to her!

By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.

I have always admired her strength and motivation. Her show is on here during the week. When ever its on , I stop take a break and watch every minute. Thanks Nancy! You are always a bright spot in my day.
oh crikie......I should turn off netflix and look for Nancy! Didn't know she has past episodes on her website.
I will bet that Nancy Zieman is not the star struck lady you might think. I think she saw a need for someone to teach sewing in a professional way--and has been professional in bringing in new ideas and guests along the way. I'd also guess that her tastes have changed over the years, I know mine have. The quilts that I made so long ago were pretty simple. I'd bet if you met her she would impress you like the quilters you know, warm, kind and interesting. How do I know, well, I don't. I just think of the many quilters that I know and there is a strong sense of fellowship, and friendship.
Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great. Mark Twain
