Personal Note from Nancy Zieman
Dear Sewing and Quilting Friends,
Thank you for following my blogs and for watching Sewing With Nancy.
Some of you, who have read Seams Unlikely, already know that my life has been filled with detours due to medical issues.
Recently my life has taken another detour. I’ll explain in the video.
httpvh://youtu.be/7kkTp8vdj_0
Please know that I am rendered cancer free at this time. I’m feeling remarkably well and have been showered with love and friendship. The purpose of this video is not to alarm you, only to explain why you might see changes in the upcoming Sewing With Nancy season and my travel schedule. Most of all, it is meant to reassure you, that I’m doing well and being very well cared for.
Bye for now,
Nancy Zieman—author, pattern designer, businesswoman, producer, and national sewing authority—is the host of the popular show Sewing With Nancy, which appears exclusively on public television stations across the United States and Canada.

Alexandra Maas
I wish you all the best to stay healthy and feel as good as you can. I can relate why you make changes in the light of such a life event – thing do change, physically, mentally and emotionally, with cancer and Life needs changes after that – it is a proces, not a set and fixed program 🙂 Keep yourself and your well being on focus and people will understand!
Really love you for your personality, your skills and your talent for tutoring.
Firm handshake and warm greetings from The Netherlands!
Shirley Shelley
Nancy.. wishing you peace.. may God hold you in the palm of His Hand and bless those who are helping you!! 🙂 <3

I will tell you a cute story to lift your spirits. I went to a quilt show recently with a friend named Nancy. When I mentioned it to one of my sons,he thought I went with you. Lol. My four grown sons know you. Lol. Take care.

Praying the very best our Lord has to offer you! I was saddened of this news and realize what a dear friend you are in my life… I may never meet you in person but wish you the best as I would my best friend…. I was just recently healed by The Lord from 4th stage terminal colon/rectal cancer that had been far spread…if Jesus can heal me He can do it for you!
I shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord. Psalm 118:17. Much love.

You always are thinking of others, but remember this is the time to be selfish and think of yourself. Take care.

You are right, this just got in your way. Just think of the number of people that God has put in your path and are affected by your beauty, talent, and strength. A ‘usual person’ is said to only have a few ‘good friends’. You have an abundance. Our Heavenly Father is always in control. I love the job He did through you. Keep your faith and know others lift you for healing. We love you, Nancy!

Mimi
Helen Nelson-Hougland
Upon first hearing your news, I cried. Couldn’t help it. However, as you continued with your message I felt your courage in facing this challenge and your positive attitude about it all. I have a copy of Seams Unlikely and yes, I can better appreciate your strength and talent, as well as your persistence, so I have calmed down and now know that with your inner resources and your medical team, friends, and of course family you’ll have the opportunity to be teaching us again in the future. God bless you! This Kansas fan is so grateful for all you have done, are doing, and will be accomplishing for a long time to come.
Linda Mahoney
Nancy, I know that you will get through this. Take each day as it comes and concentrate on getting better. I had breast cancer five years ago and then underwent intensive chemotherapy and radiation. I spent a lot of time with my family and just concentrated on getting through each day. As you are doing, everything else was put on hold. My thoughts are with you. By the way – you look fantastic!
Sharon Greene

Roberta
You are my inspiration, God Bless, and in my prayers
Shirley Fass
Dear Nancy–I am overwhelmed with emotion. I hope your fine spirit and optimism get you through this tough time. I know you are giving me inspiration and strength as I prepare to have open heart surgery on the 27 of May to replace a aortic valve that apparently was missing a leaf and to remove an anyeurism that was found after having a stroke last October. I am scared, but knowing what you are going through gives me the strength to be a big person and deal with it. I was hoping to get to see you again at sewing weekend–in fact when setting a date for surgery I told the surgeon that I would like to make it after the 10th if possible because I already had my tickets and didn’t want to miss it. I will be praying for you. Also–we must find a way to improve on hospital gowns–they are the nastiest things!! Does your creatve mind have any ideas? Love and best wishes to you-stay strong!
Judy Nolan
Wishing you the very best as you move forward in your treatment and go through rehabilitation. May God bless you with great stamina and positive energy, and the fortitude to try again when you’re not having a good day.
Jennifer
Nancy, I have watched you for years on Canadian Television and have some of your books and still try to follow you today. Once I could no longer get your shows on Canadian Television I was very sad but knew in this day of technology I would find you somewhere. And I did just that.
I was very saddened by your news but know you are a strong person with God, family and all of your sewing friends to help you through this.
Please take all the time you need to heal as we want you to be able to be with us for a very long time.
My prayers and wishes for a speedy recovery go out to you.
May your days be filled with God and family and the strength to get you through this ordeal.
Life is full of challenges that we must all face and you face yours with dignity and grace.
I am wishing you all the best and hope to see you back here soon.
Anna Nusbaum
Gosh, Nancy!
What a giant speed bump followed by a rough road. You are doing exactly the right thing — shifting into low gear and taking it slow and steady.
While I will miss YOU on the show, you have established a wonderful program and your friends will do a great job for you.
Do what the physical “terrorists” tell you (that’s what my PT folks called themselves when I got my knee replaced 😉 ). The old saying is true — the more you do, the more you can do.
Hope we’ll see you back on track as soon as it is right for you!
Julie Berry
I’m so sorry to hear your news. My prayers are with you. I know your faith will give you strength as you go through recovery. You are such an inspiration to all of us and I know you will be back soon sharing all the new ideas in sewing. Love and Best wishes sent to you and your family.

Nancy, I also have just been told that I have cancer (breast).. It all started in January, and I have had surgery to remove the lump , had radition , and now will have 12 weeks of chemo. I am determined to not let it stop me from my sewing. I will surly keep you in my prayers that our Lord will keep you in His hands. Love your show, and have been watching for about 30 maybe longer years. I have tapes of your shows that I am trying to get put on cd s. Hope they got all of your cancer, they did get all of mine . MAY OUR LORD BLESSED YOU AND KEEP YOU IN HIS ARMS.
Mike Godawski
Best Wishes! I’m pulling for a speedy recovery!
C Ellis
My oldest daughter is a go-getter like you. She inspires me and cheers me on when I need it.
She has cerebral palsy by the way and a child with Asperberger’s syndrome.
When I started as a fan, I noticed you have the same zest for life and I smile at the way you both deal with life like grabbing a tiger by the tail and swinging it out of the way.
I am encouraged and amused by such grit and determination.
You’ll be back to teach me and countless others so much more about sewing and life and I’ll keep you in my prayers bc I need what God gave you to share 😉 hugs
BETTY
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. My prayers to you and your family to help get you through your therapy.

It was emotional to read about your recent illness and recovery. You are wise to take a step back and do what you need for your health. May God watch over you and your Guardian Angels protect you.
I have enjoyed your shows through the years and found it so helpful . You are such a talented woman. I always thought your segments at the end of your show with woman who help other people in the world through sewing so very inspiring. Being a teacher I very much appreciate your step by step instructions and thoroughness.
I look forward to many more years with your presence.

I very rarely post comments, but felt compelled to tell you what an inspiration your life has been to make when I have faced my own physical challenges recently, and in facing a difficult time ahead due to my husband’s critical illness. Every time I watch your show I am astonished by your strength and courage and it makes it just a little easier for me to face my own very difficult days right now. God bless you – I know your purpose in this life is to serve as an inspiration to others, and that God isn’t finished with you yet. Thanks for all you have given to so many of us you don’t even know.
Janet Schwartz

I have watch you from the beginning.
God Bless you and your family

It is amazing to see your cheerful face and incredible stamina telling us about you detour in life. I, too, had that detour eight years ago. What got me through my crisis was a positive attitude and no pity parties. I know you are a strong person and you will have a curvy road ahead, but God loves you!
Terrie
Best of luck to you on this journey. Chemo treatments are not fun. I was lucky to have an awesome Oncologist that did everything possible to make my treatment as comfortable as possible. You are right – you will get by with a little help from your friends. I could not have endured treatment without the love, prayers and support from family and friends. Happy to report I completed chemo 4 weeks ago. Every day is better than the previous day. You are in my prayers.
Bonnie Welsh
Nancy,
You’ve been an inspiration to everyone you’ve come in contact with whether in person or through your show. Your wit, sewing knowledge, and charming teaching style are unmatched.

Keep up the positive attitude – that helps the healing process.
We will keep you in our prayers and will continue sending you positive vibes.
If there is anything we, your loyal followers can do for you, please let us know.
ZB WonderWoman
If we had our druthers, reckon every viewer, reader, blog follower, sewer, everyone/anyone whose life you touched since you joined PBS, would leap onto their sewing table, point their machine toward Beaver Dam, WI, and soar across the world in support of their treasured friend. Physically not possible. Therefore prayers, good wishes, positive thoughts and pure spiritual energy will come in our stead.
Strength comes in many diverse forms. But, with a little help from your friends (and an avid cheering section in the millions), you will get thru this. With energy to spare!
Brightest Blessings upon you and your family, business family and talented friends who stepped in to ensure that the coming season of Sewing With Nancy will be as engaging and dynamic as ever.

Nancy,
I echo the thoughts of so many in saying my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you concentrate on a full and complete recovery. My sewing talents and “know-how” come from two women – my mother and you! I learned to sew in 4-H as a young teenager and when I entered adulthood, you were there to continue to instruct me. As my teacher throughout the past 35 years, you have my utmost respect and gratitude for all you have taught me. God Bless you and your family!

janet
Dear Nancy, you are a gift from God, not too many people do what you are doing “sharing your knowledge with love,” I feel so great full for knowing a person like you. God is with you and he will continue caring for you, I will pray for you and your family. A person Is not how rich it is, how it looks like, or how intelligent it is; what that person had done, the way that had contributed to others, the way that she /he spread the love of God with her/his love to others that is what make that person and that is how that person is remember, and “that person is you”. You are Bless and God will make sure you continue healthy to continue your work that will make other happy and you are happy as well and that make you strong to keep you going. I thank you so much for sharing I had learned so much from you, the way you teach it make so easy to learn and to love what we are doing.
Thank you.
Jean Gruen
I am sure I am just one of thousands who wish you the very best. God is in control and He sure gives us some twists and turns through this life of ours. I was privileged to hear and see you when you came to King of Prussia, PA in the fall of 2014. Seeing you was my husband’s last gift to me as he died right after he purchased my ticket to the 3 day seminar. My very best to you my dear friend. I feel like you are my friend because of the years we have spent together via the TV and the inspiration you have been to me and to sewers all over this country. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Colleen Murphy
Nancy – Sorry to hear about your setback, but you are strong and have a good support system in place with your family, friends and fans.
Thank you for teaching me how to sew. I struggled for many years to get my techniques right and you helped me greatly along the way. I had no one to show me the ropes. I loved sewing and would often watch my grandmother, but I lost her when I was 7 and she had sparked a passion for sewing in me that often went unfulfilled. Thanks for your show, your videos, and books. Please take care of yourself and I will keep you in my prayers. Best to you.
Sylvia A
I was saddened to hear of your latest medical problem and will add you to my nightly prayer list. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer and have been praying for Libby for 2 years now. Your main focus in life should definitely be on Nancy and what you need to do in order to heal and be cancer free. Sending you lots of love and hugs!
Cheryl spates
Prayers for you as well as your family. Cancer is a vile enemy. Take care of yourself and don’t try to rush recovery/ rehab. God bless you and your family.

You are an inspiration.
When my husband died 8 years ago you kept me going.
I had to tackle your next project cause you made it easy.
My retirement is much richer because I rediscovered the joy of creating
I’ve learned so much from you classes
Nancy’s corner inspired me in so many ways, among them:
I was able to make a tarp for my grandson when he was stationed in Afghanistan.
Our sewing guild made 32 love blankets for our local children’s hospital.
Your work helps so many.
God bless you and yours.
My prayers for you.

Arlene May Drews
Dear Nancy, You began life as a small baby girl just like Arlyss and God guided you on Life’s ways not always our wish for unpleasant days but possible because He will never leave us. It was so good to read in your book the credit you gave to your Mom for helping with 4-H projects. I see a great need for that today and since we have so many more technical gadgets we are still missing some of the basics. Thank God the medical profession have all done their homework so these generations can heal with their skills and His helps too. May you continue to gain strength in your body, mind and spirit. Love Arlene Drews
Carol Bowers

I have been watching you for over 25 years. God Bless you and your courage, and I am glad your CA free. My husband (82) has had 4 kinds of CA and is now free of CA so we know it can be done. Praying for you and your family and will keep enjoying your shows, that are wonderful.

Mary Vermillion
Sorry to hear about this “bump”. I’ve known and liked your shows and works for a long time. One of my mantras is “10, 20, 30 minutes to sew”. Take care of yourself.
Karen
Wishing you the best recovery possible with many thoughts and prayers.
Vicki Whiting
Thank you Nancy for updating us on your current challenge. I know without you I wouldn’t have picked up my sewing and become more enthusiastic about a beloved hobby I had laid to the side of my life. A career and then early retirement has altered the time I can devote. While I wasn’t ready to retire, but health required it, sewing has pulled me through some very depressing days. I now have a new routine, get up and start sewing, making sure I work on a project everyday. You are a true blessing, though I’ve never met you in person, but feel close to you through your tv series and myriad of books and videos I own; a collection that will never be outdated and I still refer to them often. Thank you for being you and being open, and honest it’s a honor to know you. God speed with your recovery ; and taking the time to care for yourself is so vital!
Linda Dial
Bless you Nancy, you are a strong woman who I admire for the abilities you have and now add one more to that list…God Bless you and your family….

I’ve read your book. You’re one tough cookie and have an awesome God on your side. My husband has had re-occurring cancer for 11 years now. We’ve found that keeping our sense of humor helps those tedious days of rehab.

Dear Nancy, I am greatly distressed to hear of your latest challenge and pray that God will lay his healing hands on you and heal that which requires the Almighty’s attention.
-Since retiring mid-13, your common-sense teaching and demonstrations have brought me back to sewing. I am delighted; and, just a few days ago made the purchase of yet another book and DVD duo, as I must learn to use all of the new feet that abound for my new Elna. Thank you for being you.

Dear Nancy, You will be in my prayers for an easy therapy and recovery. I went through chemo and radiation in 2009 and have been cancer free for just over 5yrs. Cancer is not for wimps and the only advise I would give is something I know you already have in abundance and that is a great attitude. We have a choice everyday when we get up to whine or do the best that we can do with a smile if possible. You are a beautiful lady and deserve the very best for all you do. I wasn’t ready to head them up and go and you are not also. So glad you have a good support system all around. Take care and know you are loved. May God bless you always.
Linda G.
Wishing you a speedy recovery and all the love and support you need. Your programs and efforts have made many of our lives more interesting and helped us to grow creatively. Hoping you will soon be back doing what you love.
Barb Ellis
With your positive attitude and all of us sending you well wishes and prayers the battle will be won. Will keep thinking of you at this time as you travel on this journey of recovery.

Thank you Nancy for the fun and enjoyment that I have gotten from you through the years and will get from all of

It’s good to hear you are on the road to recovery. God bless you and your family and Angels surround you always. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. If things get too tough just reach out and hold his hand ~ God is there by you side.
Big Hug from one of your “Sewing with Nancy” family.

Nancy,
I have been reading your autobiography while awaiting a scary neurosurgery. Thought you’d like to know what you and your classes and notions have meant to my family. I am also an adoptive mom-6 kids.For a lot of years you have been our go-to location for everything sewing and they all sew -even my husband. This June my youngest -a 20 year old girl with Dpwn Syndrome who watchd he siblings learn to sew with your techniques and wanted to do it too , will complete her 2nd year in fashion design classes at community college. A triumph for her. My 96 year old mother is still sewing all her own clothes with your notions and fabrics. So here is hoping for a successful outcome for both of us. Our prayers are with you.

I so enjoy the tips and guidance you give us in your program. God has blessed you in this way and you are generous to share it with others.

His plans are sometimes different than ours and I pray He will give you peace and strength as you and your family work through this.

Nancy Parsons
Nancy,
You are like a member of my family. (The only thing is, you do not show up for dinner!) I cannot touch you but I can see you in every show, recording and video within my reach. I see a strong woman who can train her new bionic buddy to bring her back to the wonderful world of “Sewing With Nancy” or, to take her down a glowing path of fun and relaxation. Listen to God. Talk to Him. Sounds like His plans for you might be to slow down, rest and be near your family and friends. After all, Nancy, you’ve sewn everything there is to sew. We all love you and pray for you to be well. Thanks for opening up a whole new world for me through sewing.
Lots of warm hugs and best wishes.
Nancy Parsons
Nancy Cruz
Dear Nancy. Lots of prayers and hugs for you. I have learned so much from your programs thank you. You are a special and kind lady.
Rebecca Eveland
I’m back for a second time to say that I hope someone living in Wisconsin will read this. Were I there, I’d organize a “let’s make a healing quilt(s) for Nancy” project, whereby each person submits one block, with talented quilters providing long arm quilting, backing – the works. **Please, for our wonderful Nancy who has taught us so much and inspired us to great heights, let’s provide comfort in a few quilts for Nancy. (Were I not in Portland, OR, I’d be taking this on.) Many thanks for your kind consideration.

In only 2 days, over 500 people have poured out their hearts to you. That is awesome!

It’s wonderful to know you have a great support team. That’s half of the battle.
May God richly bless you as you have certainly touched many lives in many, many ways.
With kindest regards,
JoAnn
Barbara Palmatier
You have given to all of us so much over the years with all our sewing mishaps, zipper crisises, suggestions to brighten our lives on a dull rainy day. Just turning on the TV and seeing your always clever and cheerful shows have kept us going. Hang in there Nancy and know you have a lot of people out here that care about you and are wishing you well and now I have to sign off and go and talk to God and do what I can do for you. But he can do more. So that is the least I can do for you and my honor to ask for you to be healed by his hand. God bless you. Barb
Vickie Dunbrack
Dearest Nancy: I don’t know if you get a chance to read all of the comments and wishes, I hope you do as they are fantastic. Keep up your spirits and don’t forget to ask for help! I have had 6 diagnosis of 3 different types of cancer starting in 1995 and 20 years and 6 surgeries (the last 2 years ago) and multiple treatments I am still going strong. I wish the same for you as you “sew” your life back together!
Susan
Nancy, I hope you are feeling the love and support from the world-wide sewing community you created. You were on the air 10 years before I discovered sewing, but you’ve been part of my life ever since. May God bless you always.
Marsha Ransom
Nancy,
While I have had several of your quilting books given to me by my aunt, it wasn’t until I ready your book within the last year that I knew about your having had Bell’s Palsy as a child. I had never known that it could leave lasting effects. You have overcome many roadblocks and I’m sure, as you say, with the help of family of friends, you will come out on top after therapy. Wishing you all the best in this, life’s latest detour, and hope that I get to meet you some day!
Margaret Clubb

Mary R. Beat
I began sewing at age 13 with lessons on my neighbor’s sewing machine. From that beginning until today, sewing clothes is a deeply ingrained passion. I go back to your beginning with children and friends as models for your finished projects. I enjoyed every moment. I will continue to follow your current path and ask only that your “substitutes” provide updated messages of your journey as they carry on SEWING WITH NANY. Namaste.

Your business is a testament to its mission and grounded in your core beliefs.

Nancy, I have watching your program for as long as you have been on. You have made me a better sewer and I have used so many of your ideas for gifts for family and friends. In March I was blessed to have seen you at the Sewing Expo in Lakeland, FL, where I also got my picture taken with you! You used one of my sewing hints on one of your programs and it is published in your book on sewing tips. You have been my mentor for so long and you are in my prayers.

Looking forward to your return in 2016.

Nancy, I don’t know how I missed your message and video, but I am so thankful for your medical team and the fact that you’re making a comeback. I had been wondering why there were others hosting your show and thought you might just have needed a break. I love your statements that “life got in the way” and “you haven’t seen the last of me yet,” as they seem to apply to my life the last few months. I too have have been able to make a comeback and get back to what I love doing, and that is watching your shows and learning new things about sewing. I pray God continues to bless you!
shonni
Nancy, I too have recently been diagnosed with a blood cancer and will have permanent chemotherapy as part of my life. I pray that you and those who suffer from this disease will all be able to live happy and fulfilling lives. I too, have watched you since your beginning days on PBS and want you to know how much your instruction and time have meant to me over the years. God be with you in your journey and we hope to see you very soon back on our screens.

I’m deeply sorry that you and your loved ones are faced with this diagnosis. You are a member of my “extended” family. Not only have I learned about developing the skill and joy of sewing from you, but I’ve learned so much more about life, just by your example. I look forward to your continued success for many more years to come.

I just viewed your video about your diagnosis. I’m so sorry to hear about it. But if I know you, you won’t let that stop you from living your life in full. I have been watching your shows for many years. I have learned a lot from you, especially the short cuts you teach about sewing. I love the products I have ordered from your website. I am looking forward to seeing more of you. I hope one day you will come down to Florida and I can meet you. You are a great inspiration for sewing.
Your friend always.

Nancy, when I first learned of your diagnosis I immediately went to prayer. I know God is able to bring you through this. Be assured I’ll be praying for you and your family during these months ahead. Believing to hear good reports. We serve a miracle working God., and trust that his perfect will is done through all of this. Much love goes to you and your family.
