My friend Sam

I have made something for Sam, my best friend, my boyfriend, my husband. 

He has recently put a saltwater tank in his office.  The stand has an opening in the front where he will store the necessary supplies to maintain tank, etc.  With wires running down the back and bottles of stuff stacked in front on the shelf, it is not very attractive.  So...I made this over the weekend for him.  It is 30" x 30". 

I did look closely at Kathy York's seahorse, but unlike hers, I did not use painted dots but thread.  I included a puffer fish hiding in coral also.  My background is a commercial fabric, heavily machine quilted with invisible thread.
