milky white sky, raindrops, and sewing on violet silk

I am spending these days of rain and cold sewing by the window. This lovely shade of violet silk is Breanna's dress for the English Garden Dance to be held on March 1. I have sewn silk ribbon flowers on the sleeves and the covered buttons. Handmade buttonholes were sewn yesterday while listening to Miss Marple Mysteries on Great Radio Drama .


I am attempting to match a thread color with the ribbon that will be attached to the seam connecting the bodice and skirt.  This is the chart I am using to find the closest color match thread from my large stash of DMC colors.

Sewing brings Sunshine to cloudy days.
