Progress on Muskoka wall hanging

Sunday, after finishing the borders of the Scrap Attack quilt, I decided to load it on the longarm and quilt it.  I haven't had a finish, of any of my older UFOs all year, so it was a very happy to finish this.  

Then, after dinner I decided to jumped right into my next older UFO.  I am really wanting to make a dent on my UFO list.  But that won't happen if I don't seriously concentrate on them, and stop starting new quilts...lol...the last part is hard for me!!

I started this next project, my Muskoka wall hanging, back in Sept/2024 with my mom.  This was while I was off work and spent most of my time recovering/mending, which is why it wasn't until Aug/2025, that we finished making our panels.

I guess I was inspired to pull this one out again, as we are heading into the cottage season, the theme of the panels.  I bought the pattern that contained this first panel, and my mom bought a pattern that contained numerous other panels.  The following two pictures are from her pattern, that I thought I would incorporate into my wall hanging.

 

These panels are a faux stained glass technique using batik fabrics to give you the illusion of a back lite stain glass window.  It's a simple technique where you use fusible webbing and black fabric for the background.  Then you top stitch the batik fabrics on, to form the scenes.

The loon above and the tent with the northern lights below, are part of my mom's pattern.  If you want to see her wall hanging, type in the blog search bar, Muskoka, and the post I wrote about her wall hanger will be there.  Hers has several other panels too.  Check it out.  It turned out great!!

My mom's wall hanging was a very nice composition of scenes associated with cottage life.  When I saw her quilt complete, I felt that mine with just the one scene, would be lacking.  That and the fact that it would be too small for where I planned on putting it.  That's why I took two of her scenes and will add it to make my wall hanging.

I've had to design my own wall hanging with these three panels.  I hope it turns out nice.  Stay tuned for the finished product.  It shouldn't be long, as I have already finished the added pieces that I will use to make all of my panels fit together into a unique piece.

Take care everyone.
