Free Project Instructions!
Every now and again, it is blissful to escape day-to-day activities and lose yourself in dreams full of magic and far away lands. Dream a Midsummer Night's Dream, and enjoy an adventure in a land where fairies dance and pixies play! Beautifully-detailed Art Nouveau fairy and mermaid designs are the first to greet you on your travels. Intricate motifs and elegant lines make these perfect for pillows, totes, and jacketbacks.
Redwork depictions of imaginative creatures, such as dragons, mermaids, and unicorns, add classic fantasy scenes to book bags and garments. Quick-stitching one-color pixies are fun on nighttime story quilts and children's dresses, skirts, and shirts. Fairies for the 'tweens and pre-'tweens are teeny in stature, but big in personality and bold color! See them flit and fly gleefully, waving their magic wands at everything in their path. They're sure to become fast friends with little girls, and enchant garments, bed linens, and backpacks.
The Tooth Fairy will always be able to find a lost tooth when it's placed in this darling Hanging Tooth Fairy Pillow!
Get swept away by the beauty of a bewitching Art Nouveau-style mermaid and fairy. Madison, the graceful mermaid, is named for Darryl Hannah's character in the movie 'Splash,' while the luminous fairy is named Titania after the fairy queen from Shakespeare's 'Midsummer Night's Dream.' Both designs combine exquisite detail and curling forms that will create an stunning impact when stitched pillows, jacketbacks, totes, and towels.
When framing embroidery, different frame styles can have a big impact on your project. In this example, the intricate swirls of the Art Nouveau Fairy's border are enhanced by the ornate edging of the metal frame. The combination creates a delightful and fanciful appearance!

We're never to old to believe in magic, pixie dust, or fairies. These darling winged wonders will delight those of all ages and bring enchantment to a variety of items.

Your very own little pixie will feel so pretty when dressed up with fun, fairy friends! A single design on the front of a frock creates a sweet, simple look, while adding multiple magical mates will add more pizzazz to the garment.
