Best of Sewing with Nancy
 Saturdays at 6:30 a.m., beginning October 20

  Nancy Zieman became an unlikely television star through the humblest of shows,
Sewing With Nancy , which became the longest-airing sewing series on television. She died
on November 14, 2017, at her home in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, at the age of 64. Nancy and
her guests shared their love of the sewing arts by exploring the latest ideas in one of the
country's most popular crafts. Initially, the programs were videotaped in Nancy’s living room
with a camera crew of one person and long 13-hour taping days. In the early years, Nancy ran
a one-woman show developing the scripts, sewing the samples and taping the programs.
  In her memory, we are honored to schedule Best of Sewing With Nancy . In a two-part

 T
               he TV ratings season ended on September 19, and your viewership helped Vegas
               PBS place in the top ranks for all three of our measured channels. Vegas PBS’
               Channel 10, Create and VEGAS PBS KIDS ended the season in the top 3 among
               all the overnight TV markets for whole day viewing. This issue of the magazine will
  go to print before all the final numbers will be confirmed, but it looks like we will either be #1
  or #2 on Channel 10, #1 on Create, and #2 on PBS KIDS.
    The national program schedule from PBS gave you many reasons to tune in. Dramas like
  Victoria on Masterpiece, Poldark and The Durrells in Corfu were among the most-watched
  drama titles on Channel 10. Brand new seasons of Poldark and The Durrells in Corfu begin on
  Sunday, September 30 and continue throughout
