Nancy Zieman's Column quilt. Have you made one?
 

Has anyone made a column quilt like Nancy Zieman showed on her TV show? Did you like the process? Was it as easy as it looked on the show?

It looks like so much fun to me, and not very complicated or difficult. I would love to try one. Just looking for any hints or opinions that you may have, if you have made one.

Please show pictures if you have made one!

I agree. It looks like fun. It is on my bucket list for when I finish my UFO's.

What channel does she come on?

Nancy Zieman's sewing show is on PBS.

We don't get any of the sewing or quilting shows anymore and I really am dissappointed....When I worked I couldn't watch them except on weekends and now that I'm retired they're no longer on! BOOHOO!

first, Drue...check your computer by searching for the names of the shows you like...many of them are online and can be referenced and even watch whole shows....some cost to join but many are free...the ones on DIY tv channel often can be seen for free....

We don't have any here either. I don't get it with so many quilters out there. There used to be so many on years ago. I guess we have to watch them on the computer.

I have made several and love doing it! Money was tight this summer and couldn't afford a long armer and this was a wonderful alternative. I used polyester batting on the first one and didn't like the way that one went together but it was my first. The second one I used flannel and while I liked the way it went together better it was really heavy. The third one I used a combination flannel on front column and muslin on back column and that is the best combination for me. All of mine were at least queen size (I'm a go big or go home kind of girl!!). I'm at work or I would post pictures. Will try to do it tomorrow.

Thanks for your interest in the Column Quilt design that I presented on TV. BTW, the most 52 current Sewing With Nancy shows are available online 24/7 at www.nancyzieman.com. If you missed a show or your PBS stations doesn't carry it, you can watch online.

I also did a variation of that quilt called "Quilt to Give," you can find the instructions on my blog—www.nancyzieman.com/blog. It's way to use of scraps of fabric and then give the quilt to someone in need.

Nancy - What a treat to have you join the quilting board! Thanks so much for replying to our thread about your column quilts! I really look forward to more posts from you!

Love your show! Thanks!

We get her but the show is on at 6:30 AM. Being a nightowl, I can never get up that early.

I answered to soon! Thanks for the info and for taking the time to join our board.

WELCOME NANCY !!

It is great to know about the shows online -- I have been trying to make an ombre quilt and could not remember all the hints you gave in your shows.

Thanks again -- and welcome!!

Thank-you for "hearing" us ! and responding so quickly! What an honor to have your presence with us! You are one of the greats! Love how much you share and educate on so many wonderful topics! A HUGE Thank-you from a dedicated watcher of your fabulous shows!

Went to the site and found the column quilt pattern. A must do. Here we do not have her program on PBS. Sure do miss it.

Thanks Nancy, and Welcome to the board!

Hello to Nancy! Nice to have you join in with us! Thanks for sharing the info about your shows! I look forward to seeing which ones I have missed! :)

Thank you so much Nancy! So wonderful to have you here with us. I always watched you shows and loved them. We used to get them when we lived up close to Shreveport thru the Shreveport Public Broadcasting....a wonderful system there, but when we moved to where we are now, we get nothing and the PBS station is the national station, obviously.....Really miss you! Thanks for your blog!

Haven't made one but wrote down all the directions to try after the first of the year..........It does look quite easy and i have done the quilt as you go before

Nancy, Welcome to the Quilting Board. Love your show and I believe you will love this board. Everyone here is very helpful and creative. You will fit right in with this wonderful bunch!

I almost fell out of my chair,and took a second look at the name, Nancy, watch your show every sat. morning along with my hubby.

Birthday coming in May............

I had never seen the column quilts and we record all her shows each week..don't know how we missed it unless it hasn't aired here yet...NOW...its on my bucket list to make ...but has to wait until after Christmas..I have far too many projects for orders and gifts to finish in a limited time...I was thrilled to see that Nancy Zieman is a member of our Quilting Board ...I just spent 3 hours watching her videos..so nice to have her videos so readily available

Oh what a nice surprise...here I am just reading along thinking I remember watching that episode and how easy Nancy made it look and next thing I knew I was reading a message authored by the one & only Nancy Z. herself!!!! Wow...thanks for the early morning surprise. Ladies & Gents if you have never ordered any of Nancy's dvd's please give yourself a treat....its like having her right there in your sewing rm teaching you one on one. I can not say enough about the customer service at Nancy's either. Thanks so much for popping into our lil part of the world Nancy-Happy holidays to you!!!

Tutty....I just told Santa last night that I thought I am ready for a Serger. I have Nancy's book, I have re-watched every show on serging. Lets hope we both get our wishs.

Ok kids please help me out here, how do I make sure I don't lose track of this thread of messages? I used to just add it to watched topics or book mark it. Am I right in assuming if I have made a response then it automatically subscribes me to this thread?
Thanks in advance.

Tutty is a good link for you on serger w/ nancy:

love watching her shows and turtioal

Nancy's show is the only one I get here! Thanks for posting as I didn't see this one. And thanks to Nancy for posting today, too. This is a wonderful place for inspiration!

Wow, so nice to "hear" from you Nancy. I have the column quilt on my list of quilts to make starting in January. I've got the episodes saved on my dvr and also have your sites bookmarked. I am so looking forward to making this quilt. I haven't decided on what colors to use yet though. Thanks so much for posting on the board.

Dee, go up to the top of the thread, click on "Thread tools" and from the drop down screen pick "Subscribe to this Thread" It'll take you to a page where you can see all the threads you are "watching".

We have only just started to get some craft stuff on a new channel, if you are lucky enough to be in an area that can receive the signal. There has been nothing for us in my area, so I watch Nancy Zieman and quilterstv and americasews etc. online. Hope this access continues as it is the only stuff worth watching...

I love the technique she showed, it looks so easy!

Wow, how amazing that you found our board and gave a personal reply! Now I'll be spending the day watching your videos instead of cleaning, decorating, cooking, sewing...LOL

I had to go look. What a pretty quilt! I think even I could make it.

I'm so excited! I didn't know you could watch missed shows online! I just checked out the website and I've got some catching up to do!

Hi, I have both the video & the book for this quilt... It's on my "To Do" list as I just love the look of this quilt. I have a Long Arm now so may not do it as a QAYG but ... just the same..I do love the design of it. And now I read that we have the "Go To" person here if we have any problems. Welcome Nancy... have been a big fan and follower for years!

Wow, I've watched your show & LOVED IT - your GREAT. Now on the long cold winter nights when I can't sleep I can watch your show. Thank you for the link.
