Everyone has a job to do, whether it's going to the office or working out on a ranch. Karlyn Bue Lohrenz decided she wanted to make a quilt representing the hard work of her husband and his trusty partner, a Case Track Loader.
 
Watch Karlyn talk with Alex about It Takes the Case, while it was on exhibit at the Houston Quilt Festival 2017.

Love it! It also looks like she created the design with *fabric*, not paint, a refreshing change nowadays. Great idea, super workmanship, and a fantastic quilt!

I'm impressed! I love it, the highlights and shadows bring it to life, it truly looks real. The plain background, ground, dirt and sky, let it shine without looking underdone. There's even a fan for hubby!

I keep finding more 'little things' that most may have elected to leave off, the 'warning label' with it's scrapes and wear showing, clods of dirt/mud lingering on the track assembly. Bits of rust here and there, the shine of the hydraulic cylinder...

LOVE THIS. Beautiful work. Impressed with the realism. We own several Case partners, backhoe, loader, and landscape tractors. They have provided a good living through the years, and we think they are trusty partners too. Awesome rendition of yours!

I'm really impressed. Karlyn did her details with fabric not ink or paint. Great job. Enjoyed looking at how she did it.
