Several years ago before I owned Nancy’s Fancys, my husband and I were driving to Florida on I 75 when I spotted a billboard for a quilt shop. I told my husband on the way home could we find that? I figured if they could have a board on the interstate they must be a great shop. Well we stopped […]
What a wonderful time we all had at Paducah! We left Richmond on Tuesday morning headed to the big quilt show in Paducah. First stop was Niemerg’s Restaurant in Effingham,IL. What an awesome place to eat! Great salad bar and wonderful food. Once we had our bellies full we went to the Wooden Spool, Unraveled, (which had been featured in […]

In 5 more days the New Janome will be revealed! As dealers we were introduced to the new Janome sewing, embroidery, and quilting combo yesterday. I am so impressed! The largest hoop in the market and so much more that I can’t speak of now. I will be in Vegas next week April 19th for the revealing and plan to […]
What did you do while snowed in? I went on my first quilt retreat! I was so looking forward to this and with the snow being predicted I was afraid it would be cancelled but nothing was going to stop us. I went with my friends from our quilt group “Loose Threads”. We are a determined bunch! We left Thursday […]

I can’t believe it’s August. This week has seemed like fall. Our Kokomo One Stop Shop Hop last weekend was a great success. We were able to get a lot of our panels made up into samples.

For several years I have hoped my daughter would learn to love sewing as much as I do. When in Jr. High she didn’t care much for it. With in the last year or so and since she has a beautiful little girl she has developed an appreciation for sewing. She has started her own business online and does a […]
Today we finished 2 new quilts from panels we have had in the store. We like to show you what you can do with them. Chris made this Americana Quilt, the panel is by Moda, and the pattern is “Sea to Shining Sea”. Great size for a wall hanging. I wanted to use this Inspirational word panel, so I came […]
It’s time to go home. I think I can speak all of us, we were tired but not too tired to shop! We loaded the bus at 7am and headed home, only to stop at more fabric stores!

As the days go on in 2021 we are hoping some things return to a some kind of normal we are used to. I myself received my second covid vaccine today. I hope it does what it says and protects me, although I will continue to wear a mask. Here in the store we are hopeful to return to classes, […]

We have been trying to post our Clubs on Facebook with no luck, so today we created a YouTube channel “Nancy’s Fancys Sewing Corner” and did a short video. SUCCESS!!! So on September 2nd & 14th go to that channel and you will be able to view our Strip & Embroidery Clubs.
A lot of new things going on here this month. We tried to do our clubs virtual and didn’t have much luck, but I’m not giving up!

Now is a great time to concentrate on that while we are all still semi quarantined. We are still getting new fabric and panels in everyday and now is the time of year when all […]
Who would think this virus would still be going on? I think it has changed our lives in so many ways. We have been busier than ever, which is a good thing. When we get elastic in it lasts only a day and it’s gone! We did get more in Saturday and so for today we have 10 yd cuts […]
Finally we found a source to get us elastic. It came in yesterday afternoon and we have it packaged in 5 yard quantities for $2.50. Call in and pick up curbside or come in between 10 am & 1pm M-F. We have plenty of clearance fabric and fat quarters great for making masks! We have continued to get new panels […]
Today we became a curbside business. This changes a lot for us. Unfortunately we are having to cancel our mask sale next week. I do have some ideas for the upcoming weeks to keep us in touch. We continue to get in new patterns, notions, and yes FABRIC & PANELS! I’ve added more fabric to the clearance area. We would […]
Due to Covid-19 we have had to postpone our pajama sale. I too was looking forward to this and wanted to come up with something to take it’s place for now but still maintain the social distancing guidelines. We have already reduced our hours to M-F 10am-1pm in order for us to be as drop off site for Reid Health […]
We have now received 51 masks for Reid Health and had a phone call from a lady in Connersville that is planning to mail in 18 more. I admire all the selfless people helping the community. We have ordered elastic and waiting for it to come in. I will keep you posted. Our hours during this uncertain time are as […]
Yesterday I was approached by Reid Hospital to be a drop off site for the masks that people are making and donating. I was glad to do this. As most of you know I worked for Reid as an RN for 39 years. I know the sacrifices these special people give. We will be accepting the masks M-F 10am-1pm, and […]
I went to Meijer this morning before coming to the store just to pick up a few things. Normally on Saturday morning at 8:30 there is a hand full of people. Not this am. The shelves were bare, no tomato soup, only a few carts in the cart corral, and the self serve lines were all full and waiting. I […]
Today I received an email from the committee for the Ohio One Stop Shop Hop scheduled for April 3 & 4, 2020. It has been cancelled by the Ohio state governor due to the Coronaviris. Apparently all big events in Ohio have been cancelled.

We had 2 winners from this store. Dave Shepherd won the grand prize of 8 $50 gift certificates and Nancy Delucio […]
What a great shop hop we had this year. Megan McGuire made the pattern we used. It was well received. We still have patterns left if you didn’t get a chance to get one. She has designed the pattern for several sizes from table runner to king quilt. It uses 5 inch squares and she has all that figured out […]
Our Cabin Fever Shop Hop starts February 17th-25th. The passports are here and ready to sell! This year Megan Pohlar McGuire made the pattern for everyone and that is included with your passport.
