After almost 30 years, she announced her retirement this weekend as she is terminally ill. Such a nice lady.

I was wondering if she was getting worse. Some days I can tolerate her other days I flip right past.....but have learn a lot neat ideas from her.
I wish her the best.

Aww, that's too bad. I didn't know she was still filming her show. I remember watching her many, many years ago on PBS.

Besides her palsy, what other illness does she have? That is sad, her show was fun to watch.

I hadn't realized that she had been battling cancer, so was surprised when I saw she was retiring. She was recording new episodes up until her diagnosis, so there will be 15 new episodes this next season. It will be bittersweet to watch those. Nancy Zieman Personal Note

That's so sad. Back in my younger days, I had never owned a sewing machine or made a single item and I learned to sew by watching her.

Oh wow, I had no idea she was still on the air. I haven't seen an episode in many years. She really knew how to break down a complicated task and make it understandable. That's such sad news about her diagnosis.

I will miss her! Her show airs on Sunday in my area. I don't get to see it very often but it is what I do on my Sunday's off.

I had no idea she was still actively filming episodes. I remember watching her years ago. She certainly has had an influence on many of us who sew.

She always showed class and grace on her shows. Still doing that, I see.
