My MIL is nuts about purple too! Ok, obsessive is a better word. Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING in her apartment is some shade of purple except for the carpet which would be purple if the complex would let her change it. She is so obsessed with it that I don't bother making her anything that isn't purple. She requested an armchair caddy and I found this beautiful fabric from Moda that had small purple roses on it and it was on a sage green background. She won't even put it in her living room, which is where she wanted one for, because it doesn't purple enough!
