"The Tractor Ride" was created by Heidi Kaisand to celebrate her and her husband's love of collecting antique tractors.
Heidi has another passion besides quilting...she and her husband collect antique tractors. This particular quilt, The Tractor Ride, tells the story of her travels around the state of Iowa at the frenetic pace of 12 miles per hour on her tractor. After taking a class from Sandy Bonsib on how to work with memory quilts, Heidi utilized different photographs, some of the actual tractor that she and her husband drove during The Great Iowa Tractor Ride, as well as the manuals from those tractors, and then a special piece of artwork from Walter Haskell Hinton, to create The Tractor Ride.
