Sewing with nancy what is wrong with her face

On her blog Nancy wrote the following:. Yet, many of you still wonder. So, I decided to explain my paralysis. Perhaps the question that most of you want to ask me, but are afraid to do so, has nothing to do with fabric and thread. The topic—my face!

A high percentage of people recover from this paralysis. Her prayers were answered. Not being the cheerleader or prom court type—that was the ultimate goal in high school, I turned to creating with fabric and thread.

I was just watching Nancy and googled her episode on sweatshirt makeovers and found out she had died.

She was a very gentle soul. I hope her legacy continues. I will miss Nancy so much, I am a dedicated sewer and looked forward to her programs every week. She inspired me to join a charity quilt group by teaching simple way to make pretty quilts. My sympathy to her family, I know they will miss her too. I am a beginner quilter and have learned so much watching her videos. Mommy thoughts and prayers are with her family. I was always so impressed with how eased and relaxed I felt watching her program.

I was so sorry to hear that she passed because her shows were educating and taught me things I thought I knew already. I am from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I happen to come across the best of Nancy on cable. She was a wonderful educator on TV and she taught me a lot about sewing. She will be truly missed. I was particularly impressed when she had a 12 year old child as a guest who was a quilter and who also had a physical disability.

In addition Nancy was a wonderful teacher. I have learned so much about Quilting with Nancy. I am pretty much home bound with my husband who is disabled, so I take care of his needs and am teaching myself to quilt.

I hope I would have made her proud.
