    I read Nancy's book and couldn't believe the struggles she overcame throughout her whole life - all in addition to her Bell's Palsy affliction back when she was young! I will miss seeing her.

    Nancy I hope this message finds you. I was about 11 in 1991. Your show would come on it was either KPBS or PBS...and I would get so excited! I asked my dad for a sewing machine for Christmas. I did get that sewing machine but I never had a mother so I would watch your shows at 12 years old trying to learn how to sew and make things. It was the closest thing I had to a mom at the time. 25 years later and here I am with a successfully growing sewing and design business! I think about you all the time, and your show that sparked my career.

      unsteadyllc What a beautiful lady you are. Nancy was always very close to me too. I'm from Peru and came to this country just on time for her first show on TV. I had so many books and VHS, now DVD's of her. I, as you, always admired her for the perfection on her job, very inspirational and very professional person.

    I admire your self confidence for crossing all those steps to reach where exactly you are today. I'm watching all your videos and always find something special I can do to better sew. I wish I had started my own business much younger than at the time I did and sure adapt all those tips you are showing to us. Thank you so much for taking time to teach us (Contrecoeur, Quebec, Canada).

    I have been following you for years! I have gained a lot of knowledge and you always encourage all of us. Your book, "Ten, Fifteen, Twenty Minutes to Sew," is my favorite book of yours. It taught me how to sew in small bites of time, being married with family and career, it showed me how to still do my favorite hobby! Thank you for your years of serving the public. I also love your notions. They are always professional!

    I have found you an inspiration in many ways, Nancy. And in my sewing and especially my quilting, you have really helped me so much. I find you easy to follow and understand unlike a lot of videos on youtube. Sadly people can be very nasty to anyone with a disability and have to say what and where are they now compared to you who is a success with many followers and a very loved lady by everyone who knows and follows you. You have made many of us out here happy and better at what we love to do. That is a true gift you have Nancy. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    My Tribute to You! -Thank you, Nancy, for being my Sewing Teacher and Inspiration for all these years. I have been sewing since I was a teenager - learning much on my own and have watched you on PBS since the beginning. You have taught me how to be a better sewer, and have blessed my life with your knowledge As a young mother of 8 who sewed clothing for my children and decor for my home I learned so much from your Sewing with Nancy shows on PBS. I watched you as you and Mari Malaria did those T-shirts and learned how to use a serger to make Sweatshirts for my children. I taped most of your shows for my own reference Library and even started my own home based Alteration business. In 2013 I was able to come to your Nancy Notions Weekend with my Sewing Guild - traveling by bus in a big May snowstorm from St Paul MN to Beaver Dam - I enjoyed the weekend even getting to say hello to you in person. You were even gracious enough to have a picture taken with me. I remember how excited I was to finally meet you in person. Rest in Peace Dear Nancy and my prayers are with your family as they grieve their loss of you.

On the other hand, it is so encouraging to see that people who have had your kind of problems or others cans still be very elegant, suceed in life and do a agreat job at what they are doing. I love your show because i have just started learning how to sew and i always learn a lot. ANd i will conclude by saying hurrah to you.

When I watch you speak and see how you teach us all so many different techniques and such, your confidence and beauty radiates from your face. Life can be such a challenge at times, but seeing how you have pushed through the road blocks is very encouraging, amazing and truly inspiring! TY so much, Nancy!

    Nancy was a rare example of TRUE womanly beauty and determination to overcome obstacles with dignity, kindness, positivity and faith. Such a heartbreaking loss. Prayers for her family and friends. 😢🙏💔

    You are amazing, Nancy! I learned how to quilt from watching your DVD and your books. Definitely going to read your book. :)
