She got me started on the sewing path. such an inspiration. There is an excellent interview with her on the while she naps podcast. I think it was in the spring but a search will find it. She talks about starting a business before the internet when it was mail order and starting Nancy’s notions, the Pbs show. I highly recommend listening. Thank you for the tribute. I believe she is flying with the angels on quilted fabric wings .
You know I thought I had put a link to that exact interview in my blog sometime back. I know I listened to it once - but wouldn't mind listening again. I thought she was amazing and I always ordered from Nancy's Notions.
Thanks for the tribute and more information on Nancy Zieman. She had a profound impact on so many of us, all the while with her humble spirit of sharing.
I too will greatly miss Nancy, for I have followed her on PBS since she began her show. I still share things I learned from her back then and give her the credit. We were blessed to have her as a teacher.
