From a heritage of needle workers in Ohio, Nancy graduated from San Francisco State University with a BA in Interior Design. She worked as a designer for major Interior Design stores on the Peninsula as well as Gumps in San Francisco.
Her love of fabric along with a passion for color and design found its voice in quilting along with a love of helping others through teaching.
In 2003, her heretofore hobby turned into a full-time business when NotJustQuiltZ opened. Nancy is an award-winning quilter in both hand and machine quilting, a certified judge and quilt instructor. She served as quilt show chairman for her local quilt guild in 2003 and 2004. Her custom-made items have been shown at an artisan collective, featured at a local Hallmark store and used by public television station KTEH as a fundraiser along with various other fundraisers throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
Seven years ago, Nancy added long arm quilting to her repertoire by acquiring a Gammill Statler Stitcher computerized quilting machine. She brings her flair for color and design to a new medium—machine quilting by bringing your treasured “heirlooms-to-be” or utility quilts to star status. She is truly the NJQ beacon!
You’ve read about the star, now for the supporting cast!

He is one of the youngest Certified Track & Field Coaches in the U.S. holding certifications as Level 2 Youth and Endurance Coach.
