Pixies are the fun-loving, mischief-makers
of the fairy realm. They can stand as small as a human thumb
or as tall as a human toddler, and any heighth inbetween.
Pxies prefer to live in the countryside and are often responsible
for the spilled pail of milk and the strange commotion in the hen house
during the wee hours of the night. They are known to be quite fond
of critters and think snails make wonderful pets!

Dr. Brightfeather

on Merry Robin’s egg. The other eggs hatched almost a week ago, but
this one doesn’t even have a crack yet so Mrs. Robin is quite concerned.

Wee Trivia Question:
Why is the leprechaun smaller than the pixie?
|
Wee Trivia Answer:
Way back in 2003, a band of leprechauns hitched a ride on a rainbow
from Ireland to the Wee Village. They were caught in a terrible
storm, got drenched from head to toe, and shrank to one-fourth their
normal size. The two Irish maids, chasing them in hot pursuit of their
pot of gold, shrank to wee size, too. 'Tis a good thing they all
shrank, as the wee inhabitants of the Wee Village were quite worried about
how to accommodate their expected guests, who later decided to take up
permanent residence in the Wee Village.

The pixies who dwell in the
Pixie Pavilions
created by Margo Rose are of the thumb-size varitey. Larger
pixies, while too big to live in such wee houses, have been seen
playing with the pavilions and decorating them much like human children
playing with dollhouses.

Shoppe
the big pixies who play with Rosemary's Magic Shoppe
Big pixies can be placed in the background behind the houses
where they will appear to be larger in scale. I'd probably use
15" or 16" background blocks (instead of 14") if I chose to make the
big pixies. This would give me more room to play with the pixies.
When finished, I'd need to adjust the border design to fit. However,
since I live in a tiny apartment and probably couldn't even lift a quilt
that had all of Margo's houses in it, I lean more toward using our designs
to make smaller items like wall quilts, pillows and tote bags. For
this design, I'd start with a 20" background so I'd have more room to put
some distance bewtween Maurice, who's looking for the rabbits, and Monique
who has already found the rabbits. This would make a delightful wall
quilt for child's room, especially if it was liberally sprinkled with pixie
dust!
In this photo, Rosemary placed everything on a 16" background
block. The extra room is just enough to position the big size pixies
a few inches below the house, making it look like the pixies are in the
foreground and the Magic Shoppe is in the background. With this placement,
the big size pixies do look as if they could live in the wee house behind
them.
(Lol, looking at the snowy roof, I'm thinking Monique needs to
run inside and grab her coat! Perhaps Maurice will lend her his
cape.)
