 For the Headwaters, Quilting Guild in Bemidji has started a new tradition where they pay tribute to a person who has made an impact on the quilting world. And this month they chose a PBS alum. The Guild's Sewing with Nancy theme meeting started off with members sharing stories on how Nancy Zieman impacted them as quilters. Zieman's books were also scattered throughout the room. It was even a cardboard cutout of the PBS star. She's been a talented quilter, she's very good with color, and she's motivated all of us to do work that we wouldn't have done otherwise. She had a television show every Saturday, so if you wanted to talk to another quilter you always knew that if you called the men they weren't going to answer the phone. So a plan of calling before or after Nancy's show. Zieman died last November after a battle with cancer. Her show was a part of the PBS lineup for more than 30 years.
