NEW! Four Seasons Fusible Wall Art
Team Nancy Zieman is pleased to share our newest laser cut fusible appliqué designs from The Creative Iron. Today we’re spotlighting the New! Four Seasons Set—A set of four laser cut fusible seasonal appliqués designed by Nancy Zieman. These no-sew paper-backed fusible appliqués are ideal for quilted wall hangings and wrapped canvas wall art—as featured in today’s tutorial.
Supplies
- Four Seasons Set of Laser Cut Fusible Appliqués
- Four Fat Quarters, OR Four 1/2 yd. cuts, assorted cotton quilting fabrics. We’re using Riley Blake’s Cotton Shades.
- 2 yd. Pellon ShirTailorFusible Interfacing
- Four 12″ x 12″ artist canvases from the craft store
- Staple Gun and staples from the hardware store
Prepare the Fabric:
“Test wrap” prior to cutting. The fabric and interfacing pieces are cut 4″ longer and 4″ wider than the finished 3/4″ thick artist canvas. If you’re using an extra thick canvas, you’l cut your fabric and interfacing larger as we’ve outlined in our additional tips posting.
- Cut one 16-inch square from each of four assorted cotton quilting fabrics.
- Cut four 16-inch squares from Pellon ShirTailor.
- Fuse Pellon ShirTailor to wrong side of the fabric.
- Optional: Serge or zigzag the edges of the fabric.
Stretched Canvas Framing Tips
- Using a ruler, mark and cut out a 2″ square from each corner.
- Position and fuse the appliqué to the fabric. Reference Nancy’s Fusible Appliqué-Fusing Instructions for further directions.
- Fold the fabric at each corner, aligning the cut edges and right sides. Stitch a 1/4″ seam allowance.
- Turn the artwork right side out. Press the seams open.
When you’re finished stitching all four corners, your artwork will have the appearance of a mini fitted bed sheet.
- Slip the fabric over the canvas. It will be a snug fit.
- Fold the excess fabric to the underside of the canvas frame. Fold miters at corners; staple.
Make sure to slightly stretch the fabric evenly. Take time to check the front design to make sure the fabric is not distorted.- Enjoy!

Spring is my favorite season. I can’t wait to do this technique!

Winters in Florida. Cool temperatures and less humidity. My favorite season.

I love spring when the earth is waking up. It is great to watch the flowers emerges and the trees begin to bud. It gives me hope and renewal.
Rosalyn Schultze
Fall is my favorite season because of the colorful leaves and brilliant blue skies.

Spring is the time when days grow longer. I can walk my dog after dinner and it isn’t dark!
Helen O
Love spring!
Donna Belisle :
My favorite season will have to be fall, I love the multi-colored leaves of gold, red, rust and green against a deep blue sky.

Why, Autumn in the northeast, of course! Beautiful colors abound everywhere you look! Nature’s canvas!

I love both spring and fall.
Judy Kirkpatrick
This would be a good four season decoration for my apartment door.

Winter is my favorite time of year. I live in Florida and the weather is pleasant here that time of year.
Martha
I most enjoy the crisp air, colorful trees and changes in nature during autumn.
KarenJo
My favorite time or season of the year is fall. Warm days and cool crisp nights. And, the colors of fall are my favorites, too. Each season, really, has its own unique beauty, meaning, fragrances, memories, and anticipations. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway. These laser-cut appliqués are fantastic!
Meta Bonnell
Love how simple these are, both in looks and assembly. But is there another way to attach the fabric to the frame if you do not have a staple gun? Or the hand strength to use a staple gun?

Mary Green
Autumn is my favorite season. Originally that’s because I have an October birthday but I also love the fall colors up north (moved from MN to TX via the Army for 20 years) and crisp weather. Pumpkins and apples during harvest time, and much for which to be thankful.
I love your newsletter and all you bring to us. I’ve watched Nancy on PBS for at least 15 years and enjoy seeing her in some videos here.
L Watson
I love the fall. A welcome time of year after a hot summer. The wonderful crisp breezes, and usually weather that allows you to be comfortably outside all day.
Lynn
My favorite season is every time I look outside and see kids playing, especially the smaller ones being introduced to new things.
Janet johnson
I love walking around my yard in Spring to see what is popping up or what’s blooming. To see bird’s gathering up bits of dry grass for a nest and checking out my bird houses for the perfect place to raise their little ones. There’s always something new and exciting to see.
Shelly G
What a easy way to make great wall art. Spring and fall are my favorite seasons. Temperatures are just right.
Kathy R Hartwell
My favorite season is Spring. The time of renewal and rebirth. The fresh new grass and trees are beautiful shades of every green there is. It is just a beautiful time of year. Thank you.
Stephanie Woodward
I love summer. The hotter the better. I cannot stand cold weather. I don’t even like lots of AC, I know I’m most likely alone, but I love the heat, and the greenery, flowers are prettier too.
Lee Ann Wagner
I love the Fall best because I enjoy the cool weather after a hot summer. Since I live in Alabama, summer is really hot! The cooler weather in Fall is a welcome change and I also love the beautiful Fall leaves.
Kathleen Savage
These are just what I was looking for as a project to get me back into applique. I visit your site almost every get for inspiration and this one set bells off in my head. Thank you for continuing the work started by Mrs. Zieman. I treasure every re-run I see. Her sense of calm and generosity showed in everything I see. Thank you.
Linda H
My favorite season is autumn! The colors of the trees in Pennsylvania are fabulous!
Anne Z.
I am fortunate to live where there is a change of seasons. I enjoy all of them. There is something special about each of them.
MoeWest
Spring is my favourite season! I like to see the garden come to life and to spend more time outdoors after a long winter.
Karen L.
Give me Fall or give me Winter! Our springs and summers have not been very enjoyable over the past few years. This year spring has been hot so I am guessing summer will be even hotter. UGH! This heat sucks the life out of me and causes “cabin fever”.
Mary Deeter
I love winter because it allows me lots of time for sewing. Spring, Summer and Fall are full of distractions that take me out of the sewing room and into the garden, the pool, and raking leaves! Winter seems to be MY TIME for sewing and quilting.
beth d.
my favorite season is spring. I would love to make a wall hanging
Kathie R
I never know what to answer when people ask me what season I like best. Winter has snowflakes and snowmen (not to mention Christmas). Spring has everything coming to life, baby birds hatching, and a bright, beautiful green. Summer has warm days, berries to pick, and blue skies. Autumn has harvest, and the world turns gold.
So, how can I pick a favorite? I love them all!
Beverly
Fall has been my favorite season for as long as I remember. It’s not just the beauty of the changing leaves, but the fact fall is the season we celebrate both Thanksgiving and Halloween. We all have much to be thankful for, and everybody needs to remember the fun of childhood that Halloween helps us recall.
Carol
I especially like the fall season when the air is clear and crisp and the trees put on such spectacular shows of colors. And it’s football season too!
Vicki Rearley
I am an Ohio gal and I must say I dont have a a a favorite season. Love them all!
Gail Beam
Spring and fall are my favorite seasons.
Patricia Phaiah
Autumn is my favorite season. I love the color of the leaves and the cool, crisp weather and knowing Thanksgiving and Christmas is just around the corner makes it my favorite season.
Carol P

Peggy V
I love spring all the spring flowers popping up and the colors all coming to life!!!
Cecelia
Fall is my Favorite – love the colors and cool temps!
Donna C
I love spring, although it’s very short where I live! Once the birds start singing every night it makes my heart sing as well.
Susan
Each season is so enjoyable, but if I had to pick a favorite season, I would select Fall. The landscape is ablaze in vibrant colors of red, yellow and orange. Pumpkins and apple add to the glory of the season.
Gloria M
I love winter… nature at rest with the promise of spring renewal just around the corner. Cozy times sewing and quilting by a toasty fire.
Bonnie
My favorite season is Spring, because of the beautiful fragrant flowers and the mild weather.
Pat
Fall is my favorite season. I love all these seasonal designs. I have several different four seasons designs around, but these are more modern and at the same time earthy.
E. Watson
My favorite season is fall. A welcom relief from the heat of summer! I love wearing my sweaters and flannel shirts, being warm enough that I don’t have to wear a thick winter coat. I love how the leaves on the trees change color, and how the air just seems fresher!
Donna Fecteau
These are all amazing. I love living in an area of the country (upstate NY) that has all four seasons. Hard to pick a favorite.
Carol Michaletz
What a lovely set of wall hangings this is. Would love to win them! Thanks.
