Elizabeth Hartman's pattern Legendary had a 10" x 18" pattern for the creature surrounded by tall pines. I made one big tree and Bigfoot for the center of the quilt, and I've made a bunch of smaller trees to go around the center medallion, as it's turning out to be.
Last summer I bought a panel of smaller pictures of other creatures called "Legends of the National Parks." I'm cutting those out and sprinkling them around the outer borders, along with some big footprints. This was supposed to be a Christmas gift, but maybe I'll have the top done in time for Chris' birthday in January. I plan to have it longarmed.
Other than Bigfoot, I've been running back and forth to the public library most days, checking on the Light Up the Library display, attending programs, and helping with refreshments. There was a musician playing Celtic holiday tunes on the guitar and autoharp (beautiful), a musical group rockin' the house with carols, an author signing his latest book, and a classical pianist who explained the origins of popular holiday songs. These have all been great ways to get into the holiday spirit!
Things will settle down next week, and I have a stack of gifts to wrap. I plan to make some Chex Mix to give Chris and his friend Marad before Christmas. I've ordered a tourtiere and apple pie for Christmas Eve. We plan a New Year's open house so I will make some goodies for that after Christmas.

Bigfoot is popular all over the place for some reason -you see silhouette shapes all over the place here too - a guy down the road from us has one next to his driveway and a place in town sells the shapes and has them outside on his display area! Crazy - I've never been attracted to it myself
