Remembering Nancy Zieman

As we continue to celebrate the life of Nancy Zieman, who passed away last week, enjoy this collection of memories, photos and moments from a woman who taught us all so much and influenced so many lives.

"Bye for now." Oh so terribly sad for us in the sewing community. Godspeed and enjoy all of Heaven, Nancy.

I just started quilting about 18 months ago and I’d not heard of Nancy Zieman being from the U.K., but I guess thanks to the wonders of KZbin I got quickly introduced to her and fell in love. I think the thing about Nancy that I loved the most is how she is so calm and soothing when teaching you something. In this day and age of KZbinrs, they are so manic and hyper, Nancy offered me a safe haven to watch her demonstrate a skill or a technique in a calming and relaxing way. I didn’t know for a long time after I started loving her videos that Nancy had passed. I was really quite saddened by this. I just hope that if her family or production team that helped create this tv show are out there, they know this……. Nancy is still teaching. She’s still doing what she loved!! I’m a 41 year old British dude and I learned to sew because of Nancy and her videos. May her memory be a blessing to all that knew her. ❤

I can only see a button, but watched “Sewing with Nancy” for years. I miss her shows & she died too young. RIP Nancy!

I loved watching her since I immigrated to this wonderful country in 1978. Thank you so very much.

The world has lost a beautifully brave talented woman who transformed television as well as fabric. She overcame Bell's Palsy and fought cancer as well as stereotypes, quietly, courageously. I was always amazed by her ability to transform the mundane into the exquisite, all thru stitching. What a joy it was to watch her - I have no doubt she is making a "coat of many colors" in Heaven - you will be missed, Nancy~

[@callieshadow8130]

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE TAUGHT AND SHOWN US, IN ALL YOUR SHOWS AND BOOKS. GOD HAD BLESS YOU TO BE A GREAT TEACHER. YOU WILL BE MISSED RIP NANCY, YOUR SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON FOREVER IN ALL THAT YOU DID. GOD'S BLESSING TO YOUR FAMILY

[@gailresources3970]

She taught all of us so much. Way beyond sewing. RIP Nancy.

[@bettyjotatum6115]

Thank you for putting this wonderful tribute to a magnificent woman together. She was a strong influence in my sewing life and I never met her in person.

[@mrshansonian]

The sewing world will never be the same without you Nancy! I have watched you and learned for over 30 years and I will miss you!

[@elaineh7482]

I was so shocked to hear of Nancy passing. I just got back into sewing. I was trying to find away to alter patterns. She was the only one that had a simple way of doing it. I watched her every Saturday when she did sewing. The generation that never go a chance to learn from her has missed a great deal. I bet she is teaching sewing class in heaven 🙏🏿😇

[@tabassumiman5531]

Thank you for making this video. I am one Nancy's Biggest Fans, and haven't stopped crying since I heard the sad news that Nancy has returned to her True Home with God. Everyday I Owe Nancy Gratitude for her guidance and teaching about sewing, but also how to be a better woman. To share more, to give more, to remain positive and collected. Nancy teaches me everyday to be more organised and sew more. To never stop sewing! This video is something that Nancy would want, to again and again show her appreciation and love for all of us who love her. Her team and her fans were always at the heart of everything she did. Thank you Wisconsin Public Television for believing in Nancy and airing her programmes for all of us.

[@joannegooley6710]

I watched Nancy for a long time. She was the best: RIP Nancy

[@RebeccaRohrmann1357]

I always loved watching Nancy’s programs. She would explain in such easy ways for me to learn. Miss her.

[@barbaraczekaj8759]

I was inspired by Nancy in many areas of my sewing journey. She was truly a pioneer and will continue to be a legend. May she rest in peace I the loving arms of Our Lord. My condolences to all of her family-including her tv family.

[@sylviaharris9164]

Thank you Nancy for the years of learning something new. You added value to my life and so many others. May you RIP, in the presence of God.

[@karenosborne5859]

I was shocked when I heard that Nancy had passed away. I loved watching her show, and learned so many tip's and tricks from her. She will be missed! But I'm sure she is dancing with the angels in heaven.

[@higgalot1919]

I’m sure I’m in good company here... among other creative people who adore Nancy. There will never be another Nancy Zieman.... and thankfully , her legacy will live on when we use our hands and hearts to give of ourselves ... following the fine example of sweet Nancy - I will miss her and thank you to the show producers for doing this tribute. She will remain my favorite sewing teacher, eventhough we never met in person. I am so thankful that this short tribute displayed the essence of a lady who loved her family, friends etc. and made such a difference in our lives - She truly was a wonderful example for us to emulate. With love ❤️ Cathy Hudgins Arnett from Richmond , VA... sewing since about 1975

[@jojohnston4113]

She can truly be called an inspiration. What an amazing woman!

[@TheNewTestament27]

I learned through Nancy and all her sewing friends through the years, sisterhood.

[@oliviageter5566]

I've watched Sewing With Nancy for YEARS... I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I learned how to adjust patterns, sew WITHOUT a pattern and many other sewing tricks/hacks. My heart goes out to her family n friends n her many many fans as I offer these condolences. R.I.P. Nancy♡♡

[@jerowen0212]

Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord. And may perpetual light shine upon her. Loved and will be missed by so many. Thank you to WPT for bringing Nancy into our homes on Saturday mornings and teaching us so much about sewing, quilting and giving.

[@joellenbroetzmann9053]

I don't sew. But Mom does. And she always watches Sewing with Nancy. Nancy was an amazing woman with many talents. I hope her shows are around for many years. It's not often such a gifted teacher is available to such a wide audience.

[@lissettefeliciano9945]

I will miss her a lot because I learned a lot from each of the tv shows I got to see. I'm grateful to have met her even though it was on TV. She has left a very large space that can hardly be filled. 😔😢🙏🏼

[@lisam7651]

Love you Nancy. May our Lord hold you in his arms. you will be missed.

There are several tributes to Nancy on KZbin that I've viewed since her passing, however, watching this tribute. . my tears finally fell. There will be a piece of my heart aching, for a long time.

[@lauriekilborn]

Sad for her, her family, friends, and all the ppl who watched her over the years on her show, or read her sewing books. A true loss for many.

[@aidal.arnaldy4726]

I will always remember my first sewing teacher here in Puerto Rico. Rest in the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ!

[@elmyra.jackson]

Still miss Nancy so much!💕

[@ruthfreeman864]

I know I will miss her tutorials and I will watch the old ones over and over as I watched her tonight it's hard to believe that she's gone home to be with the Lord... The one thing that I'm saddened about and reading about her life on Facebook and other social media sites is that she was a Christian woman a follower of our Lord Jesus Christ... I wish that she from time to time would have shared her faith with her viewers

[@flohetherington7178]
