Nancy Zieman is an unforgettable woman and visionary who made an indelible mark on the sewing and quilting world. Though she passed away in 2017, her legacy will abide in the millions that she taught and touched.  Nancy was born and raised on a dairy farm in Wisconsin to parents Ralph and Barbara Luedtke, and later graduated with a double major in home economics and journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. She married Richard Zieman in 1977.  Many of the jobs early in Nancy’s career centered around her love of sewing, including working for a sewing store in Chicago and freelancing as a sewing instructor in Minnesota.
