Sewing with Nancy was co-produced by Wisconsin Public Television[3] at Vilas Hall on the University of Wisconsin campus in Madison. Zieman had Bell's palsy, a one-sided facial nerve paralysis, and talked about the condition on an episode in 2011.[3] On September 5, 2017, Zieman announced her retirement due to cancer;[4] she died just over two months later, the day after the final episode was broadcast.[5] Older episodes continue to be broadcast on PBS under the name The Best of Sewing with Nancy.
