When Nancy Zieman, expert sewer and quilter, author, designer, TV host, product innovator, and entrepreneur first met Jan Carr, Clover USA’s chief operating officer, 35 years ago, neither could have guessed they’d be partners today in providing sewers and quilters with the most innovative sewing and quilting tools.

Clover is known for the highest quality products developed and produced by a team of people who care about their customers and take pride in their work. And Nancy shares Clover’s philosophy of providing quality and innovative products. “With these shared goals,” she says, “it was an easy decision to work with Clover. I have the opportunity and freedom to design products that are unique to the industry or to improve upon existing products. What more could a sewing and quilting enthusiast want?”

Nancy Zieman is president and producer of Nancy Zieman Productions and is an author, pattern designer, businesswoman, home economist, and national sewing authority. She also produces and hosts the popular television show Sewing With Nancy® which appears exclusively on public television stations across the U.S. and Canada.

Among the several books Nancy has written is the "Confidence" series published by Krause Publications/F+W Media: Sew with Confidence, Machine Embroidery with Confidence, Serge with Confidence, Quilt with Confidence, and Pattern Fitting with Confidence. As a pattern designer, Nancy designs the Sewing With Nancy® collection for the McCall Pattern Co.

As a dedicated art quilter, Nancy’s favorite creative outlet is landscape quilting, introduced and taught to her by renowned landscape artist Natalie Sewell. Nancy and Natalie co-authored three books: Landscape Quilting, Landscape Quilts for Kids, and The Art of Landscape Quilting.

Nancy also founded Nancy’s Notions®, a division of Tacony Corporation, which publishes the Nancy’s Notions® Catalog. Nancy is also national spokesperson for Baby Lock sewing machines and Nancy’s Notions®.

In 1988 Nancy was named Entrepreneurial Woman of the Year by the Wisconsin Women Entrepreneurs Association, and in 1991 she received the National 4-H Alumni Award.

“Clover has tremendous respect and admiration for Nancy Zieman and all her accomplishments,” says Jan Carr. “Her knowledge and insight are invaluable in developing innovative products for our customers. We’re indeed honored she chose to work with Clover and we look forward to a long-lasting and very successful partnership.”
