A Modern Quilting Bee on The Best of Sewing With Nancy
Often you hear the phrase, “Quilting Bee”. We’re sure your mind pictures images of old: Friends, family, fabric, and fun. The Modern Quilting Bee has all those elements plus more. Join Nancy Zieman as she journeys outside the Sewing With Nancy studio to celebrate the art of quilting at the The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show in Madison, Wisconsin, and watch A Modern Quilting Bee on The Best Of Sewing With Nancy online.
Modern quilting is a buzz word in the quilting community. Weeks Ringle, author, publisher, designer, teacher, lecturer, and fabric designer joins Nancy for a chat on modern quilting—quilting as a reflection of today.
One of Nancy’s favorite fabrics to work with when she made her Landscape Quilts was hand-dyed fabric. Wendy Richardson is a master at dying fabric. Wendy joins Nancy and shares some of the processes she uses when hand-dying fabrics.
Nancy often said that she had the best job in the world, because she got to interview and learn from leaders and innovators in the sewing and quilting world. Lola Jenkins, quilter and lecturer, joins Nancy to share her quilting journey inspired by her life and heritage.
Nancy’s next guest and friend, Laura Wasilowski, shares her art quilting methods for combining slow-quilting and quick-quilting.
When most of us think of quilts, we generally think of bed quilts or wall quilts. In addition to two-dimensional, quilting is also three-dimensional. Lorraine Torrence, author, designer, and educator, joins Nancy to share her legacy exhibit of quilted garments.

I have this book. Nancy’s story is so heart-wrenching yet so hear-warming too. Her challenges and the grace she showed while battling through them is so empowering. She was a truly wonderful person. I wish I could have met her. Thank you.

I cannot get enough of what this wonderful woman did for homemakers/students/male&female with her television shows on PBS. The longest running show and it still keeps playing. To have a book on how she managed to create (PBS CREATE) her show and such a wonderful insight to get to the TV world of sewing/quilting/embroidery would be fantastic. I wish they would make her show an hour. The only great thing is that there is YOUTUBE and her website that is available 24/7. Keep posting as there will be new people to catch her on PBS and have the same interests and will start on her website and emails. Thank you.

I didn’t start sewing until 7 years ago but was well-acquainted with who Nancy Zieman was and what she accomplished. My mom met Nancy at an event in Florida a number of years ago and asked her to autograph her sewing A-Z book for me – as a new “sewist.” My husband gave me Nancy’s Seams Unlikely for Christmas and I truly enjoyed Nancy’s story. I would love “The Rest of the Story.” –

I still turn to Nancy for help when encountering difficult projects, or as a reminder when returning to an to a rarely used skill. It saddens us that she was taken so young. She made all our lives better.

Sweetest Nancy, a Beloved Friend, teacher, mentor, so many WONDERFUL things to many of us through her #1 TV series & many other ways of teaching! You felt like you knew her personally ❤️ I was basically self taught to Sew and later to Quilt however I must say you really did play a LARGE part in teaching me so many things! Thank You for who YOU were as a person and a Teacher of so many things, ❤️
