A Bed End For Elwood

It’s been a little while since I had the opportunity to make a bed end, designed as such to go over the foot of a child’d bed and long enough to grow with them to a double. Should they want it to of course. Funnily enough the last one of these I made was for the same family, and dedicated to Elwood’s older sister, Lorelai. To commemorate his 1st birthday, mom Fay asked for his own bed end to include a dedication to his two grandfathers. Elwood has both of their names as his middle names and strangely, both grandfathers in question served in the navy on the ‘HMS Formidable’. As you can see, the finished quilt followed a nautical theme and I hand embroidered the name of the ship on to a central anchor to tie it all together. Happy 1st birthday to Elwood! I do hope he likes his personalised keepsake when he grows up. xx
