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. Now we continue to make more samples getting ready for the Ohio One Stop Shop Hop at the Nutter Center Oct. 8 & […]
Next week July 23 & 24th (Friday & Saturday) we will have a booth at the Kokomo Events Center in Kokomo, Indiana, along with over 30 other quilt vendors. It is always a fun show. The theme this year is Once Upon A Time. We will represent Snow White. We are taking several quilt and panel kits and pre cuts. […]
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!

We still have passports and books available in our store. Stop in and take advantage of all our in store specials too!
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, […]
Finally new machines are coming in! We have waited almost a year to receive more machines. Our showroom was looking pretty bare. If you are ready for a new one we have some variety now. Brother and Janome machines are here! Stop in and test drive. Masks are still a necessity. Also check out our used Brother 1600E embroidery only […]
It’s that time of year again for our Annual Cabin Fever Shop Hop, February 12-20, 2021. I’m sure several of us have Cabin Fever especially after the past year we’ve all had. This year our passport will be the book “Quick As A Wink” by Donna Robertson of Fabric Cafe’. Each shop will feature a different quilt from the book. […]

We will be CLOSED Saturday Sept. 5- Monday Sept. 7th. I attempted to post both clubs, Strip Club with Chris and Embroidery Club with Connie on YouTube today. I also put it on Facebook. I’m trying with much frustration. We have gotten in several new bolts of fabric,panels, and pre cuts this week. Next time you are in you will […]
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! I did manage to get them to post on a new site “Nancy’sfancys strip club” on Facebook. The most exciting new thing here is our NEWEST BROTHER machine, The LUMINAIRE 2! They never […]
It’s been an unusual summer for all of us. I want to thank everyone that came to the Kokomo One Stop Shop Hop. It was a great show with awesome new changes made by the committee.

For those of you that enjoyed collecting Row by Row blocks and visiting different quilt stores while traveling, it’s back only with a new name. Participating stores have designed a row again only now the themes will be a color, which is blue this year, in order to help coordinate your rows a little better. The patterns are still free […]
Now through June 30 ARROW & KANGAROO CABINETS are at their lowest prices of the year! Get those sewing machines off the dining room table and sew in comfort. You will be amazed at how much better your shoulders and back will feel with the right cabinet.
We have decided to resume our clubs starting July 1st. We have continued to design new projects and lots of new ideas.

I can’t believe it’s almost Memorial Day! It’s like time has stopped but it hasn’t. Before we know it the BIG HOLIDAY(Christmas) will be here. 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.
This is my first blog. Bear with me, I’m not sure what I’m doing! I hope to use this to keep you informed about whats going on here at Nancy’s Fancys. We just finished our Cabin Fever Shop Hop. We had 2 winners from this store. Dave Shepherd won the grand prize of 8 $50 gift certificates and Nancy Delucio […]

Summer went by so fast and the holidays will be here before we know it! Lots of new fabric, panels, kits, pre cuts, patterns, machines, whew! We were so looking forward to the Nutter Center show which was cancelled due to the virus. So we are definitely over stocked! We have all been busy making new samples for the holidays. […]
This week has been crazy with new things daily. Fabric, Machines, and Software. To begin, Janome was supposed to have their convention in two weeks in San Antonio, Texas. Due to the high numbers of virus in Texas they cancelled it. They were also going to introduce new machines, but that won’t happen either because they can’t get supplies for […]
Here at Nancy’s Fancys we have lifted the mask mandate. We have all been vaccinated. We are starting up our classes again in June. Check the website. We have made the classes smaller for several reasons. More one on one attention and still social distancing somewhat. We have scheduled beginning quilting, beginning applique, more advanced quilting, and scan n cut […]
Well we woke up early Friday morning and the bus left the hotel around 7am (central time). EARLY! Headed for Hamilton Missouri, the home of Missouri Star Co. and J.C. Penny. At 10am we were sitting in the HangOut waiting for Jenny Doan. Then a tall rather thin women appeared with a microphone and I said to Doris, Who’s that? […]
