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.
