About Nancy

I’ve made things with fabric and thread since I was a youngster: doll clothes and cross-stitched kitchen towels. Using patterns, I began sewing my own clothes and room decor at age 10. I learned by watching the TV show, “Sewing with Nancy.”

A newspaper article discussing the revival of quilting during the United States Bicentennial piqued my interest. In 1976, there weren’t novel tools or techniques for quilting, or books or classes to learn to quilt. Choosing from my fabric scraps, I was on my own, with only the skills I acquired in my youth. After completing my “Trip Around the World” quilt, I was HOOKED on quilting.

I moved to a small town to begin my teaching career, and I met women who've quilted for years and share their skills and quilting techniques in guilds.

Since retiring, I’ve been able to experience fabric-related opportunities near and far. I attend sewing retreats and classes and enjoy traveling across the United States to visit quilt exhibits, shops, and shows. I belong to quilt organizations, guilds, and quilt bees. I've participated in contests and internet blog hops. I worked in a quilt shop for 3 years. I’ve taught sewing to children and adults at schools, shops, and guilds. I design patterns, and Cut Loose Press has published some of those patterns (https://cutloosepress.com/search?q=Nancy+myers). I’m always thrilled to meet new quilters in person and online.

I am a lifelong learner eager to try new sewing techniques or tools. This has expanded not only my fabric supplies but my sewing repertoire to include machine embroidery, fabric painting and fabric manipulation, photo-to-fabric transfer, stuffed critters, and most recently, Fabric Wonder Weaving-a technique I've developed.

Patchwork Breeze LLC, my online business, began in 2021 to share with fellow makers the techniques I’ve learned over the years and share the numerous ways fabric can elevate our creativity and daily life.

I’m excited you’re here!

Let’s explore the fabric experience together as I share with you what I'm working on at Patchwork Breeze!
