What a lovely and thoughtful gesture of love. I love the cow pillows. You were very creative in your use of the shirts, and any farmer would love the tractor. Great job.

I want to tie this quilt, it seems that's what it needs..then off to Uncle Harvey!

Your quilt is great and I know he and your aunt will appreciate it. Love that you used some of his shirts in it!
|
How cute!!!
|
You did a wonderful job on these, he is really going to love them!!!!
|
I'm sure he will remember at least from time to time the cows and farming. I grew up on a farm and we had orange Allis Chalmers tractors. What a thoughtful thing to do.
|
Your comment brought back fond memories for me. I grew up on a farm in rural SD and both of our tractors were Allis Chalmers. Thanks for the memory.

Uncle Harveys trator is a Kubota! Hence Kubota orange. The tractor pattern is from Lori Holts 'Quilty Barn Along', the cows, are from Debbie Mum-Baby Bovines.

Beautiful job!!! Very sweet gesture, Uncle Harvey will love it!!! Probably will bring tears to your Aunts eyes.
|
A fantastic gift for your uncle.
|
What a great quilt & such a loving gesture on your part. Blessings to you & your family.
|
Just plain AWESOME...the quilt and who it is made for....
|
So clever and cute!
|
Such a wonderful thing to do. I'm sure he will love it.
|
Very pretty quilt, hope he gets some enjoyment out of it.
My mum had Alzeimers. |
What a loving tribute! The quilt and pillows are really cute, and I like the happy colors.
|
I would machine quilt this. It's too pretty for tying. I like tied quilts on patchwork designs. It also depends on what the batting suggestions are unless the ties are seen more on the back.
|
Great job! Looks like he will be able to sit and think about all those important things in his life.
|
That was a great idea. I love the colors and I am sure Uncle Harvey will too. I am sure he will get much comfort from that quilt.
