A special video and message from Nancy Zieman...

Hello!

This is Nancy Zieman, host of the public television series Sewing With Nancy, which airs at 9 a.m. Saturdays on WPT.

It was just about a month ago that I was a guest on this blog writing about the Quilt Expo which is quickly approaching. It will be held 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily Thursday, Sept. 13 through Saturday, Sept. 15 in the Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center, 1919 Alliant Energy Way in Madison.

The event has become one of the country's most exciting quilting forums, with educational opportunities for quilters to partake in and outstanding quilt exhibits for everyone with an appreciation for the art of quilting to view.

Please join me for this premier quilt show, which offers hundreds of spectacular quilts on exhibit, outstanding lectures and workshops from quilting experts, great shopping opportunities and two special evening events.

At 6 p.m. Thursday, help me celebrate "25 years of Sewing With Nancy." We'll laugh together at bloopers, outtakes and candid flashbacks of my hairstyles, clothes and guests over the years.

At 6 p.m. Friday, Vicki Spiering will present "Confessions of a Mad Quilter." It's widely acknowledged that quilting is an incurable but not fatal affliction. Vicki will help guests learn to identify symptoms and define various psychological disorders suffered by today's quilter.

To register to attend the evening events and for complete Quilt Expo details visit our site on the Web.

And, when you're at Quilt Expo, be sure to stop by to say hello. I'll be in the WPT booth from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. daily and look forward to chatting with you.

I hope to see you there!
