Apologies for my absence but I went to care for a very spotty child with chickenpox. I have just heard that Jane who set her wonderful fabric shop up a few years ago in the town near me died of breast cancer at the weekend. She inspired many who didn't sew into becoming addicted with her constant fabulous selection of fabrics, help, expertise and advice of many fabric and wool based activities. As her cancer reappeared she closed the shop.

I'm so sorry to hear this. It sounds like she was such an integral part of so many lives. I know that Jane, her shop and her loving expertise are already missed.

I am so sorry. It is so hard to lose the good people in our lives. She sounds like a very special person and I am sure she will be missed.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I recall you having spoken of her in the past, so know that she was an important person in your life. You and your village will miss her presence.

Sorry for the loss of your friend. Many of us still have an achy spot in our hearts over the death of Nancy Zieman, sewist. Sometimes it is the acquaintances in our lives that we value and miss.

Such a loss to the community
Cancer is cruel
I know she was someone you liked and respected. I am sorry for your loss. My condolences to her family

Prayers for comfort and healing for family and friends.

Sad news indeed....condolences to her family...
