Lilac Lady

This design is not new, I've stitched her before. She is one of the charts in my book, Embellishing Crazy Quilts...and is a favorite. This time, she is wearing light purple, lilac dress...with ribbon roses. Her bouquet of flowers is created with chenille thread, simple French knots.

Strange how the background color is different. Both photos were taken with the same camera, and at the same location...only difference was the time of day. The bottom photo is closer to the true background color, of light green.
