Nancy Zieman announces her retirement A Dear Friend Says Goodbye

What do our minds conjure up when we think of someone retiring? Perhaps parting gifts like a gold watch or an office party with too much to drink or those unending farewell speeches laden with exaggerated acco-lades. But not for Nancy Zieman, not for our Nancy. Nancy will simply flow into retirement carrying with her the heartfelt gratitude of the hun-dreds of thousands of lives that she has touched.

It has been a distinct privilege for all of us at Clover to know Nancy, both professionally and personally, for so many years. Just to be there when Nancy presented one of her many new creative ideas was amazing. Not only to see the logic of a newly conceived sewing notion, but to also experience the creative vision and enthusiasm Nancy had for each. No Hassle Triangles Gauge, Flex 'n Glide Bodkin, 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge, Stack 'n Store Bobbin Tower, Fuse 'n Bind, 6-in-1 Stick 'n Stitch, Wrap 'n Fuse Piping, Seams Right, Trace 'n Create Templates, Fuse 'n Gather, and the list goes on and on.

"I Sew For Fun" will be the theme of the last line of sewing notions designed by Nancy for Clover. It represents basic sewing notions made especially for young sewists and will bring the joy of sewing to a whole new generation of sewing enthusiasts. I ask you, what could be more Nancy-like than that?

On a personal note and speaking collectively for Clover, our associ-ation with Nancy has been truly memorable. We are so fortunate to have worked with her and shared her vision. She is a remarkable talent wrapped in a cloak of humility. Never drawing light unto herself but instead always shining it among others. Always positive, always there to help, to encour-age, to advise, to mentor, to uplift or to lighten any burden.

Though we will miss her within our ranks we wish her a fulfilling and joyful retirement with time for family and friends and perhaps a little time to reflect on what a difference her life has made to so many others. She has been a great friend to us individually and as a company. She will forever have our heartfelt gratitude. If I can borrow a term from the Naval service I'd say for all of us at Clover: “ Nancy, our dear friend, we wish you fair winds and following seas.”

Book PickSewing is magic, creative, and fun, it's meant to be shared with a special someone. Let's go off to Sewland and stitch something new where all the town sews at a quarter to

two. This delightful children's picture book, written by Nancy Zieman of PBS's Sewing with Nancy, takes kids on a fun and exciting adventure to a magical land where everyone sews.

Each year across the world, 1 million preterm babies die within their first 28 days. Unable to regulate their tempera-tures, they are vulnerable to hypothermia and ultimately death. Tiny hats are an easy solution; they give tiny babies a fighting chance.

World Prematurity Day, November 17, 2017, is a global conference which will be held in San Francisco and attended by the East African health ministers. All hats need to be de-livered to the WUA! office in time for World Prematurity Day.

FAQ: “What can you use the Fabric Folding Pen for?”

For more information visit: warmupamerica.org

The solution in the pen relaxes the fibers in your fabric which makes it easy to crease with your fingertips- no iron needed and the solution leaves no marks! This is especially useful when you have those teeny tiny folds and want to keep your fingers away from the hot iron.

The applications are endless, check out a few below:-Patch pockets- Creasing hems, cuffs- Origami quilting- Reverse appliqué - English Paper Piecing- Iron out a pressed-in crease
