Finally a good picture! I still can’t see all the colors (blue, violet, & green) in the fabric but this is pretty close.
Oh Lilac you beautiful doll I love you! Isn’t she just darling? I love every little thing about her. Even the fact I used 3/4 of just one pack of beads on her. And the line of beads on her back, little buttons marching down her gown. *sigh* I think she took me nearly 3 hours to totally bead. 30 x 80 stitches. Annette, thank you again for RAKing me with Lilac.
I may or may not stitch tonight, I’ve put in a lot of hours the past two days on Lilac. I have a Fair & Square that’s due soon, I’ll spend next week working on that. I’d also really like to finish up part two on Caribbean. And like Autumn said it wouldn’t hurt to ask; my missing silks are:
Eterna Silk Mini-Twist
3406 and 4270
I know, uncommon stuff but if you have either or both of these drop me an email please. Thankfully it is just two and I’m able to work around them easily.
Thanks so much for your encouraging comment on my sampler post. I liked what you said about just looking at it and smiling 🙂
Your stitching is gorgeous! I’m sorry I don’t have the silks you’re looking for. I used to have a bunch of the Eterna Silks but not anymore.
Oh, I love your tagline on your blog heading, too funny! My hubba makes some funny podcasts and did a whole riff on cake once, lol!
Oh my, love, love, love how Lilac came out and the whole structuring of your RR. It’s going to be gorgeous! Sorry I can’t help with the Eterna silk either. Have a happy weekend!
Lilac is gorgeous and I love the layout of your RR. The whole thing is going to look stunning when it’s done!
I think your RR is going to be just gorgeous! What a great idea for a layout and theme. Lilac turned out beautifully!
Shoot…you gave me a google challenge. I like finding the unfindable.

I think the cost of shipping will cost more than the silk though :-\
Not sure if that is where you ordered to begin with…
It’s beautiful! What a wonderful start. I can’t wait to see it when it returns; it is going to be a treasure!
Gorgeous girl – just gorgeous. My fingers are itching to stitch on it!
Absolutly stunning! Your layout is gorgeous and I absolutly adore Lilac!
Beautiful! I’m looking forward to seeing it all finished!
Beautiful!!! I will have to swap between your Winter RR and my Lilac this weekend now… LOL
I’ve already decided which box I’ll be filling 😉
Missy, she’s BEAUTIFUL!!!!! That’s going to be one gorgeous RR.

This is going to be such a gorgeous piece and your Lilac is stunning!
Oh Missy, this piece is going to be spectacular when done! I can’t even imagine! All those beads and everything! What a beautiful RR this is going to be! Looking forward to your finish of Part 2 of Caribean. Wish I could help you with the threads, but can’t – I don’t think I even own one of those! Hope that you find them.
Lilac turned out fantastic. And the beads on her are well worth the effort. It gives her a breathtaking plus.
Looking forward to see more of it.
Lilac is just beautiful. I can’t wait to see more as more ladies get added in.
Missy, your Lilac is absolutely gorgeous! I am anxious to watch this piece progress. Sorry, I can’t help with the silks 😦
Oh my, what a terrific start. This RR will become a beauty.
Jaw-droppingly beautiful. I can not believe how fast you stitched her and your stitches are just perfect. Congratulations, I’m happy dancing with you big time!
This is going to be so much fun to watch and drool over.
GORGEOUS! This is going to be stunning when finished! WOW Suz
I agree. Lilac is just stunning! I’m incredibly keen to stitch her myself. Beautiful work 🙂
She is stunning!!! WOW I want to have her waist. That RR is going to be incredible.
I’ve decided we need to find a new source for Eternas. I wish I could hook you up with those colors. I have both, but they are in active WIPs.
Absolutly stunning!!!!!
She’s really gorgeous!
How elegant is she!
That my friend is stunning! No two ways about it… I don’t even care for the Pixies much, but this is just jawdropping… bet it looks even better as the others get stitched in place. Wowza just doesn’t cover it.
That is a wonderful RR you are doing I look forward to seeing the whole thinged stitched up.
I do believe you have your own mini book store in your house 😉 But happy to hear that your kindle will be arriving soon.
Take Care
So gorgeously stunning! I love this so much. And those borders were a brilliant idea! Love it!!
