Didn't you ever notice that Chewbacca from Star Wars was really a Sasquatch?

Oh!!! I love your idea. My oldest son(now close to 50) saw a movie about the big hairy guy and since his bed was near a window, son slept under his bed till I moved it. LOL.
Don't ever feel you have to not share ideas with us, maybe someone out there was thinking alone the same lines and just needed someone else to speak up.
Please show us your work when you get it done, or better yet..show it as a work in progress. I'm sure we would all like to follow along.

Seems like you got some good suggestions for your quilt. I was just going to give you an idea for making your pattern. Since you like to do things that are more artistic, have you thought about getting an overhead projector? I love mine. It was cheap, and I love it.

This is exactly the look I am dreaming of. I didn't know what couched yarn was so I looked it up , Perfect! I have never worked in mixed media as I do not know if it is with in my abilities but the yarn I do beleive now is a must! My brother lives right on a bayou and has moss in the trees the yarn on the squacth and the moss will be perfect!

Quilters seem to receive requests for all kinds of subject quilts; nothing surprises me anymore.

I once saw a quilt for the Greenman. It was detailed and beautiful. No requests surprises me any more. I would check out the link Murphy posted, you might find some usable photos on that site.

I would be anxious to see your results, as I watch everything shown on this subject on TV. While I am certain there are several hoaxes out there; I think there may be truth to some sightings.

I looked for the over head projectors they are a little too expensive .I did see some things called opaque projectors these would be perfect. I need to gather some things to sell ! I must have something to enlarge things I could do so much more with my ideas!
I am currently working on a poppy quilt that relates to the Flanders field and Veterens. If I had a projector it would have been soooooo spectacular! I am making this poppy quilt to donate to a VFW post in MI . The city refused to allow an old gent ,a WW2 VET to stand on the spot he had for many many years on the day the vets hand out poppies for donations thier proceeds decreased buy a couple thousand due to this.They clamed saftey yet let the town fire dept stand in the same spot a few months later to raise money..... Well I am getting carried away I do tend to get pasionate .....

I so have to raise some money for a projector!

I would love to see a green man quilt. I have been in places and seen tree spirits close up and in person and have the photos to prove it :)

Piece one from fake fur and add blinky eyes?

I love the idea and if you show it kind of peeking out from behind a tree like in some of the videos, that would be cool!
