    I believed in all things magical and still do. ;o) My daughter is a self described "fairy expert" and we just gave her a copy of the complete flower fairies." Hoping that the fairy spirits will grace us with this fabric!

    Maine is the home of fairy houses, little creations made with whatever sticks, stones, and leaves are at hand. My husband and I recently built one for our 2 1/2 year old granddaughter and put a small fairy doll in it. It was so much fun to watch her discover the doll.

    Of course I believe in fairies and gnomes and the like. Just because we can't see them doesn't mean they are not there. Have faith in them. Would love to win this giveaway.

    While I never believed, my younger brother did. So my older brother and I invented stories to 'Little People' who lived in the walls of our house and their doorway was a knothole in my closet door frame!

    We still believe in fairies! My oldest daughter just came home after working in the Disney College Program, where she told stories on the Storybook Land Canal Boats. She saw Tinkerbell fly every night during the fireworks. Of course we believe in fairies.

    For more than a year now I've been collecting the panels and coordinating fabrics so I can make quilts out of each panel: Strawberry Fairy; Coneflower Fairy; Periwinkle fairies; Apple blossom fairies; rose fairy; magical flower fairies; of which I have also made my tiny grand-daughter summer outfits. They are sooo cute. I can't wait to collect for the Petal Fairies and Night Fairies. The night fairies will match how I did my bedroom in Bellagio Faux purples and blues and I hung pics of night fairies by Brian Froud. I an so excitied about the new collectionsl.

    I have always loved fairies and used wall stickers of flower fairies when I redid my daughter's room for her 6th Birthday. I have loved Cicely Mary Baker's flower fairies since I was a child. My aunt, from Sweden, bought me a small hand mirror with the purple fairy on it. I got that back in 1978. I'd love to do another project with this fabric.
