My mom and I get together every Friday at her place and have dinner together. While I was off work, I would often go earlier and we would do stuff. Sometimes cooking or canning, and other times quilt making. Several years back, at a guild meeting, we had a speaker who did faux stained glass pictures using fabric. My mom and I each bought our own pattern to make. We started back in Sept/2024, though we only worked on these from time to time and my mom finished hers just recently in Aug/2025.
This is my mom's completed wall hanging. Her pattern had several pictures that made up the whole design with some confetti looking colourful pieces to frame the designs. Her pattern is called Postcards From Muskoka (pattern details in the last picture below).
I asked my mom what her favourite pictures were and she chose these two. This first one is iconic of a cottage scene. The two Muskoka chairs out on a deck overlooking the water and in this picture catching the sun set. This is synonym for relaxing cottage life. It's no coincidence that I am posting this post in advance for today. If you are reading this the day I posted it, then you are reading it while we are all at my sister-in-law's cottage for a family reunion. How fitting is that...lol.
This second choice is another event that evokes the feel of cottage life. Sitting by the fire at the end of a day with family and friends all gathered around, catching up on life events and enjoying each other's company. My mom and I would occasionally have a fire at her place on a Friday, to unwind. I can see why this pictures is a favourite for her. It's one of mine too.
Here is all the required details in the picture below, if you would like to make your own.
Have a great day everyone. Take care and don't forget to take some time for yourself.
