Sewing Diva Nancy Zieman has taught many of us a few tricks
And she put them ALL and I mean ALL into her new book
"Sewing A to Z"
From "Applique" {Swoon} to "Zippers" {yes you CAN ZIP} the tips are here
My favorite tip is "G".... G for GATHER (hey.... get on topic here!)
Everyone has been sharing the book during the hop but really

I did... find out the inside scoop
What is your most unusual place to have held a workshop or lecture, and how did it go?
Early in my career, I remember presenting lectures in places that would not pass today's OSHA standards. A leaky basement, an empty warehouse, and ice rink come to mind—I kidding-ly called the ice rink "sewing on ice!" The most unusual lecture was not due to the location, but to the circumstances around the lecture. The sponsoring store had an open bar outside the lecture room. Several people got up during the presentation only to return with their favorite libation. One lady in particular, who sat in the front row, made numerous trips to the bar, returning every time with a fancy martini glass filled with a colorful concoction. I must admit, the group thought I was very funnier as the seminar progressed! Truthfully, it was a very distracting experience.
What is your favorite Color
I had to think about this question—there are so many colors that I enjoy. If I had to choose one, it would be chartreuse green—the color of newly sprouted leaves.
If you could study with one person, who would it be and why?
What a great question! Without doubt, I would choose Claude Monet. My two passions are flower gardening and landscape quilting. His skill and sense of color, design, and composition would have been an joy to experience and learn. It would have been fascinating to see what he would have done with the landscape quilting technique!
