Kaye Wood's Blog

My father turns 80 in April 2012 and this is his birthday gift.

It's made for an extra high queen size bed. I didn't want to have a bed shirt so I made a bedspread. My oldest son has a bed just like his so I used his for measurements. (My father lives 5 hours away).

It looks really good on my son's bed. I’m glad I tried it on his bed because he is the next one in line to make one for. I'll probably put his two girls on, I don’t know yet....Nancy
