Default Need ideas for fishing -hunting wall hanging

A guy I work closely with loves to hunt and fish. He isn't really a quilt person , so I thought I would make him a wall hanging for his new house. I thought of doing fishing theme on one side and deer hunting camo on the other side. so it would be reversible to the seasons. Would someone have ideas for maybe fabric or applique pictures; where I could find them ?
Thank you

I would recommend a book entitled "Celebrating the Great Outdoors" by Debbie Field for Granola Girl Designs.

The patterns are for table toppers, but can easily be adjusted for a wall hanging. I made one for an friend who loves the outdoors and wilderness. It included a log cabin, moose, deer and bear. She loved it . There are several others in the book that you might find appropriate. Most patterns have some applique in them. I think I may have purchased the book at JoAnn's, but can't be sure.

Since he isn't a quilt person, I would look for a couple of panels.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]504962[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]504963[/ATTACH]These 2 camo fabrics I purchased within the last 3 moths at hancocks. I fell in love with them as they are not typically not what you see. the second one looks like it has tiny holes in it, but does not.

I love Hingeley Road quilt shop online (unless you want a road trip to Floodwood). They have a section labelled Northwoods that has fabrics that might work, a section of Holly Taylor fabrics, and a section of MN batiks. No connection with them, but I do love their stuff. Two panels would be cool--one fishing, one hunting. You could get some coordinating fabric to make the panels the same size.

You could also maybe incorporate a "Hunter's Star" into the wall hanging.

I just thought of something. If he does not think it's too silly, you could make a wall hanging like mine. I made one with a bear in a canoe, wearing a hat and using a fishing pole.
