The backing fabric you chose is PERFECT for that piece! I'm normally a lurker, but I had to come out from the shadows!!!

Had to take a couple of minutes to tell you how much I always enjoy seeing your finishing and just love the fabric frame you created for As The Crow Flies. I keep marking the finishes you've done that I love and noting them for some of my projects that need finishing. I'm so slow at that part and am totally inspired by what you do. Thanks so much for continuing to share with all of us.
