    My sister and I have been sewing together for several years now but we use Facetime as well as the occasional visit as she lives in West Virginia and I live in Alaska. It is so fun to have a sewing partner especially a sister and, coincidentally, we have been using the moniker “Stitchin’ Sisters” – so named by my niece. I am looking forward to watching your videos.

    I am not partial to floating triangles. The Sisters have great informative video. Would love it if the straight quilting guide fits my machine and if I won it even better since it would aide in so many quilting projects. If prize is the floating triangles kit I would make it and donate it to charity as I know of no one who likes that style. I WILL be watching more of sisters videos- they are that good.

    I am so happy that you two have picked up the baton and are going to carry on with Nancy’s encouraging and updated methods. I took a class from Nancy, probably over 45 years ago (when she was associated with another sewing business) and have followed her ever since. I have missed her new approaches and look forward to following yours. Welcome!

  • Peggy V

  • L Watson
    October 28, 2019

    It’s so fantastic to see something like this! I have been watching Nancy’s videos lately, thinking how sad it is that there would not be any more new Nancy videos, I looked forward to them so much! Now I will have another sewing video series to look forward to. I was always amazed at how much Nancy could accomplish teaching in such small amounts of time and still have a calming, not rushed feel to the show. Very often I would play her videos while I did housework and such, to have a calming effect. I think that I would love watching the new shows even more if they didn’t have the background music playing while they were talking, it would feel much calmer. I look forward to the new series!

  • Teresa M Edington

    The Stitch it! Sisters video really captured the simplicity of creating floating triangles just as Nancy simplified so many processes to encourage viewers to expand their skills.

    So happy to see the SISTERS doing videos, keep the traditions that Nancy started way back when. Keep the inspiration going!!!
