As a child I wanted to be a fashion designer. I never learned to read until my mid twenties and barely even then I struggled decades longer, too ashamed to tell anyone. But I became a visual learner. I wanted to learn to sew more than what my Home Economic teacher taught me. It was watching Nancy i studied sewing. I became a Fashion Designer, designing wedding gowns and formals in my own shop, even working in a Christian film as a costume cordinator. During that job I had an assistant seamstress who said to me "I never met a Designer who could sew." Thanks to Nancy my dream was fulfilled and I praise God.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful tribute to a beautiful, kind, talented, generous woman. My condolences to the Zieman family, and all of Nancy's colleagues. Thank you Nancy for all these years of creativity and example. Bye for now.
She made a little girl in East Los Angeles grow up to be someone that has the confidence to make anything with her sewing machine if she just put her mind to it. May she rest in peace and may The Lord give her family strength in this somber time. Thank you Nancy for sharing your knowledge and for being a great human being 💚
I watched Nancy religiously for several years, deliberately setting my Saturday mornings aside for her show. She taught and inspired me and I am so very sad to hear that she was taken by the same terrible diseases that took my mother. I hate cancer! I will miss you Nancy. Thank you so much. I pray your family is comforted.
I bought many of her books. I have just heard of her passing today. You are right, she will be missed. A spot no one will ever fill. May God watch over her grave until the coming of Jesus's voice to call us home.
Such an amazing inspiration! I started with Nancy's PBS show and found online classes to learn to sew because I couldn't afford to take classes. I became a professional seamstress with the knowledge I acquired for free! I tell others everyday that there is no reason you can't learn something new in this day and age. So much education available at no cost. Thank you Nancy for everything you taught me. You were a wonderful teacher!
She will be missed. I grew up watching her and every Saturday morning that her show airs on PBS I make sure to watch. I always learn something whether it's to do with sewing or one of her featured guests. Thank you for all that you've done Nancy.
oh my God this is really sad my condolences go to her friends and her family and all her fans which I am also I learn to listen to her and she was a great teacher I love her very much and I just came on UA-cam and to see this tribute to Nancy I was so shocked you know
I have always enjoyed watching her on PBS in Michigan on Saturday mornings, she was so Creative.. I also loved sewing but really didn't get off into it until this August, I decided to take sewing classes after I had knee replacement this year, She definitely encouraged me to get into sewing & quilting.at first I didn't understand a lot of things but as I got off in Sewing Classes, it all came to me after watching Her show over the years, it made it easier to do what I had seen on the show. She will be missed.... Thanks Nancy The Queen of Sewing !!!!! 👸😢🙏👏💕 RIP Heartfelt Condolences to the Family.
This dear lady made our world a better place one stitch at a time. She was a tireless teacher who made our education her priority. Thank you dear lady for your time and caring manner.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Prayer for Nancy's family and friends. On her website she shared so much. The most important was her faith. We share a favorite Bible quote, Proverbs 3:5-6. Bye for now, Nancy.
ON NO! I saw this and said it can't be! I'm so so sad! I've learned so much from watching her shows! THANK YOU NANCY for all the wonderful lessons and memories! Thank you Nancy's Notions for the beautiful tribute. May God be with all who are feeling the loss of such a beautiful woman. My He provide comfort and strength to those who miss her. Rest in paradise now Nancy! I hope to meet you one day!
Tears stinging my eyes and rolling down my cheeks.. I am only just now learning of this heartbreaking news. Of course I only "knew" Nancy from her sewing programs, but She has been a part of my life for over 30 years.. My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to her family and close friends, who have lost a dear and wonderful soul. I believe she is now at peace, free from pain and suffering of the illness that took her from this world. But she will be sorely missed by those left behind. To all those grieving her loss: May God hold you very close and give you all the comfort you are in need of..
Nancy was my inspiration when I first started sewing at 16. I will miss her and will continue to watch her programs on PBS as well as the recordings I made in VHS tapes. I want my granddaughter to learn from her also. She is an angel watching all her students and guiding them in their passion for sewing.
(tears) Nancy is the one who inspired me to start sewing again after I had my stroke and only one arm to sew with... I'll miss you Nancy ...Father Bless you ABUNDUNTLY my Dear Sweet Friend
Nancy has been in my life for so many years. Her show, her books, her patterns, her videos. I feel like I knew her personally. I will miss her. She was a great lady.
Loved watching Sewing with Nancy, it was soon a favorite sewing program on the air. She touched many lives; as a tribute to her I will continue to cherish the many things made as a result of her inspirations, from the homemade buttons as demonstrated by , guest artists, shades for the windows, vests, scarves and clothing. RIP Ms. Nancy we all love you. As others have commented, it's like losing a friend. Prayers for her family and network of friends and associations. We most dearly will be missed.
A lovely tribute. I feel like I have lost a member of my extended family. I will hear her voice encouraging me every time I am in my sewing room. My thoughts and prayers go out to Nancy's family at this very sad time.
Although I live in Canada and I have never seen her shows, I have ordered things from her and after reading this tribute, she will certainly be missed. I am almost 64 years old myself and she was far too young to be taken. God bless.
There is something about Nancy that you just are drawn to, whether you know her nor not. I was so shocked when I found out today that she passed. I am going to miss her so much. I hope her family knows how much she is loved by women who sew. She has left such a mark on the sewing industry. When I look at a sewing machine I think Nancy. Life well lived, and much loved by all, and a good teacher.
"There is something about Nancy" She is rare teacher who, over and over took so much pressure off, giving permission to not be so exacting. And still doing so, in PBS airings. Nice legacy.
I’m so sorry to get this news. I have learned so much from Nancy about life and sewing. Thank you to the family for sharing her with us. I never go to meet her but I loved her. Janice in TN
So proud of you and what you have accomplished in your life. You have taught me many thing’s not only on how to sew, I thank you for that also. I am so Happy that we have these videos to look back on. I’ve watched and looked forward to all your program’s. You certainly WILL be missed. God has another Angel around him. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Thank you for everything, Diana Grupczynski
As I just got in to sewing, I’m just learning about her. So sorry for the loss - she was a teacher I could follow. Her family, friends and co-workers are in my prayers! RIP Nancy. Thank you for teaching me pattern alterations. 🙏
I am so heartbroken, I started watching Nancy in my late teens and I even have some of her books and videos. She had a great way of teaching you how to sew and she made it look so easy, she was a class act. I am still not that great at sewing but I can always pull out her books and videos to learn certain steps that I missed. She helped me through some difficult times in my life as I escaped through sewing and watching her on TV. I hope her program will continue to teach others how to sew and I think that sewing skills and homemaking should continue to be taught in schools because a lot of schools no longer have those courses. It is not only for girls but boys need to learn how to take care of themselves too and sewing is really an essential Art. Rest in peace, Nancy.
....when I came to America (as a child), my Dad wanted us to not only learn how to speak English, but with no accent so he would have us watch programs on PBS. When Nancy came on, I would listen so tentatively, wanting to pronounce my words just like her. My Dad would even purchase VHS tapes and tape her shows because that's just how much I wanted to speak clearly. Little did I know that I was also learning how to sew and craft at the same time---lol! Now, not only do I speak English clearly and with no accent, but I hold an Undergraduate Degree in Communications (besides earning a Graduate Degree and a Professional Studies Degree).....thank you Nancy for being apart of my early and humble beginnings. I know you heard, "Well Done" from our Heavenly Father.
Everytime a new video came, I was watching. I’ve learned so much of Nancy. The way she was teaching, but also how close she stood near all of us. Having questions, Nancy always gave an answer. Dear Nancy, Thanks for all your (life) lessons. Gonna miss you. Rest In Peace.
She will be missed. My sympathy to her family. I never met her in person but feel like I have known her after the decades of watching. We lost one of the greats .
My deepest condolences to Nancy's family, co-workers, friends, and millions of fans. I was just watching her last week, and thinking how lucky we all are to have terrific resources like her show. I'll treasure each of those 910 episodes.
Just started hearing about her. So sad. She will be someone who provided talent and Gods service to help many woman be a Proverbs 31 woman. Proverbs 31:19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hands grasp the spindle. It's so good to know she was a woman of God and she used her gifts to provide many woman and men the ability to create things with their hands.
It tough to accept she's gone yet I'm thrilled she is with the Lord! She will always be my sewing mentor! Lord, take care of and comfort all her loved ones!! This hurts so much!😥😥😥
Dear Nancy, I live in Turkey thousands of miles away! I found you on youtube coincidently while I was looking for ways of learning quilting. Since then, I watched your every video on youtube. I learned a lot from you. I was shocked this morning when I saw announcement that we lost you. Thank you for everything you taught me. Rest in peace dear Nancy, I will miss your programmes ❤️.
Nancy was one of those amazing women who saw beyond the obvious. She inspired me to always strive to do my best work...not just okay, but the very best. She will be very missed. Prayers and many thoughts to her family.
You will be missed nancy! I remember watching you as a child and I was so excited to find years ago that you were on UA-cam! You were such a talented and beautiful spirit!
My sincerest condolences to the Zieman family. I am completely shocked by this news. Nancy taught me how to do tricky sewing techniques and she was my go to for understanding and learning anything new. I remember the depth of her personal biography about her stroke and her ability to overcome so many obstacles to have built her sewing empire. I didn't even know she was ill let alone that she passed on. I am so very sorry for all of us. We have lost a truely gifted angel. Diane in Mount Dora, Florida
She will be missed, I'm very lucky to say a friend and I met her in 2010 in Lady Lake here in FL. We have pictures, such a nice and sweet person it was sad for me to find out she passed. Descanse en Paz bella persona.
Nancy embraced all aspects of sewing: making garments , quilting, embroidery, repairs, repurposing, using various feet--and it was always fascinating. I fantasized coming up with some unique sewn item so that I could be a guest on the show ! So wonderful that all these great episodes are preserved, and so sorry Nancy couldn't stay with us another 30 years.
Nancy was a very talented, humble and kind person. I learned so many sewing techniques from her. She made her viewers feel as if she was their personal tutor and not a TV celebrity. She will be sorely missed!
This is such a beautiful tribute. Like many others who have left comments before me, I enjoyed learning from Nancy's show for decades. I pray that her family and friends find peace and comfort. Thank YOU for sharing her with us all these years.
I did not know she passed away. Oh, she will be missed. I have several of her books about hints and techniques, and watched her every weekend on PBS -- I'd tape it if I wasn't going to be home. I remember how excited she was about surgers; thought they were the home-sewers miracle in a machine. I know the angels might get an update on their robes as only she can do. Sincere condolences to her family and many, many friends. Patricia
I already miss her. I admired Nancy so very much. She was an accomplished woman and came across as completely sincere and honest. I learned so much from her. This is such a great loss. Goodnight, my friend. Love, Nancy B.
Angels stop by and visit us mortals. I have her books and dvds but she will be missed. I felt. elt like I was home with my mom and grandma when I visited with her onPBS. Peace to her friends and family. She was loved by many.
My heart aches for Nancy's family and close friends. She was a source of sewing knowledge that I trusted and admired. Nancy will be truly missed in the creative world of sewing, quilting and crafting. God Bless her soul....
I've been sewing since the age of 10 and I've watched Nancy on my local PBS channel for many years. I'm so sad to hear of her passing. R.I.P. to a wonderful teacher. :(
She will be missed, she taught me a lot about not only sewing but her wit . She was an inspiration to the sewing community as well as others. Rest in Peace Ms. Nancy
Oh my, I had no idea that Nancy died. I grew up watching her as I started my sewing endeavors; she taught me so much. Bless her life. Also, to her family, thank you for sharing Nancy with the public.
Made me cry, I'll miss her. She taught me to sew and when I met her she was so gracious and lovely. She made sewing what it is today so now we must carry on her legacy. RIP
Ahhh Nancy, my heart is soo heavy, you have given me soo much watching your show, and you gave me sanctuary in my spirit, what a joy you gave, thank you thank you thank you♡♡♡

Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute with us. I started watching Nancy on television over 25 years ago. She taught me much.
That was a beautiful tribute. She was an incredible inspiration and had an infectious sensibility. Thank you.
I have enjoyed your teachings since the year I graduated from high school in 1979.
God bless you as you enter His Kingdom.

Adiós a una gran mujer y ejemplo de fortaleza. Descansa en paz Nancy
God bless you, Nancy. You revealed the mysteries of sewing that befuddled me. I couldn't have done it without you.
My deepest condolences to Nancy's family, co-workers, friends, and millions of fans. I was just watching her last week, and thinking how lucky we all are to have terrific resources like her show. I'll treasure each of those 910 episodes.
And God said - "Welcome good and faithful servant."
Hallelujah, Thine be the glory.
Just started hearing about her. So sad.
She will be someone who provided talent and Gods service to help many woman be a Proverbs 31 woman.
Proverbs 31:19
She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.
It's so good to know she was a woman of God and she used her gifts to provide many woman and men the ability to create things with their hands.
Nancy taught me so much about sewing, sorry to see that she is gone, learned much from her
It tough to accept she's gone yet I'm thrilled she is with the Lord! She will always be my sewing mentor!
Lord, take care of and comfort all her loved ones!! This hurts so much!😥😥😥
I watched the show many times. She was so nice & polite. May God keep His loving arms around you all.

Oh I will miss her! God be with her family and friends as they grieve.
Thank you and your family, you will be remembered, always, bye for now!
My sincerest condolences to the Zieman family. I am completely shocked by this news. Nancy taught me how to do tricky sewing techniques and she was my go to for understanding and learning anything new. I remember the depth of her personal biography about her stroke and her ability to overcome so many obstacles to have built her sewing empire. I didn't even know she was ill let alone that she passed on. I am so very sorry for all of us. We have lost a truely gifted angel.

Oh my, I had no idea that Nancy died. I grew up watching her as I started my sewing endeavors; she taught me so much. Bless her life. Also, to her family, thank you for sharing Nancy with the public.
Made me cry, I'll miss her. She taught me to sew and when I met her she was so gracious and lovely.
She made sewing what it is today so now we must carry on her legacy. RIP
She inspired me. I loved her sewing and loved being able to learn from her show.
She was an inspiration to me, she will be missed.
