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.

Ellageo, This is the cutest idea I have seen in a long time. Love, love, love the cow pillows!! I will think of this and Uncle Harvey often. Ellen

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.

I thought the baby cows looked familiar, made a quilt a very long time ago with them. The shirts are perfect in the quilt, hope it will last a long time creating memories for Uncle Harvey.
