Trees!

 While I was waiting for my next batch of pillowcase fabric to arrive, I went to my LQS and bought fabric for a quilt I have been meaning to make for years, Elizabeth Hartman's Legendary.  I am making this quilt for my crazy  brother-in-law who believes in Bigfoot.  He also believes in aliens.  If you knew what he does for a living, you would be shocked, but I can't tell you what he does.

I had green batik left over from another project for the trees, so all I had to buy was the background and the brown for the tree trunks and Bigfoot.   The trees have gone quickly.  I am using the angler 2, which means I haven't had to draw any lines for the stitch and flip method.  My angler is possibly over 15 years old, so I don't know if anyone still makes them. It was worth whatever I paid for it!


I have started working on Bigfoot, but I made a mistake on the hands yesterday, so I thought it was time to put it away last night and start again today.  In the middle of this quilt, my next batch of pillowcase fabric arrived, so you will be seeing more of them.  I am also waiting on 3 quilts from the longarmer.  It feels good to be back quilting!

Well, I must say you have me intrigued re your brother-in-law's occupation, Laura. So many perfect triangles in your trees.

The trees look great! Looking forward to seeing Bigfoot as well.

This is such a fun pattern and it seems that everyone is making it for someone who believes in Bigfoot!
