So lifelike, your painting is lovely. The quilting makes it more realistic. I love it.

PS I am curious to know how you will finish it off...a hard thing for me to decide at times.

Thank you. I have just published the framed fabric painting. I hope you like it this way. Normally I don't use glass when framing fabric pictures but this piece will be in my daughters kitchen so it might need a little protection.
