Oh how nice ... does this replicate your barn and the tractor, cattle, etc. in the pic?

We had Farmalls at home, and then my husband and I bought one for an extra tractor on our farm ... so this pulls at my heart strings a tad.

I'm sure your Dad will be thrilled. I'll look forward to seeing your continual progress.

Thank you, everyone. The barn is a replica of the barn on the farm where we lived when I was born and lived until I was 11. Well, as best as I can remember it, with the exception of the color of the doors. They were the same as the barn but thought they may get lost if done in the same fabric. We had the holstein cows and the Farmall Tractor. The kitties, though, represent the ones I have now. We always had cats and dogs. My dad retired when he was 76, he's now 87 and well deserves a tribute to him.
