Yesterday we did a photo shoot in an old southern home, not necesarily a plantation but one that reminds you that you are in the land of rocking chairs on wrap around porches. One of the fabrics shot was
FreeSpirit Piourette from Verna Mosquera. We had an adorable 4 year old model who fell in love with the tutu she modeled, declaring she no longer wanted to be Taylor Swift but a model. To Miss Karsyn we bequeth the Piourette tutu and leotard! To you, our ever faithful blog followers, we want to bequeth some FreeSpirit Piourette fabric. Did you ever dream of being a ballerina? Have all your dreams come true and do you still dare to dream? Comment by midnight Sunday, December 2nd and six, random commentators will be selected to receive six, 1 yard cuts of Piourette by Verna Mosquera -- it may make your dreams come true!

It's been a long time since I've had any dreams. I wanted to be a teacher when I was young. Somewhere I went awry. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love this line! My little ballerina would love a dress made from it!
I LOVE this fabric! Would be perfect for a spring dress.

Oh my GORGEOUS FABRIC!!!! What a generous giveaway! and the possibilities......my mind is already whirling with ideas!!
Well not a ballerina - but grew up with Shirley Temple, so tapped and had the curly blond hair. BUT the dream was to become an Olympic Equestrian - and I did!
I dreamed of dancing in the Nutcracker Suite (sometimes still do!) Now my four year old daughter is a ballerina and I dream for her. chickadeejess@hotmail.com
My oldest daughter (age 6) began taking ballet classes this year and now she always says she's going to be a ballerina!
An absolutely adorable little model who showcases the fabrics beautifully. I really like the look of that.

Lucky lightening can't strike twice but I would love to enter anyways!!! Lovely fabric :)
Oh wow, I never wanted to be a ballerina (I grew up with 4 brothers) but I have a daughter who asked me to watch her new dance routine last night - very graceful and delicate!
Well, I used to want to be Grace Slick. Luckily, that never came true! Thanks for the giveaway, and winning those cuts of fabrics would be dreamy!
Beautiful fabric. I'm blessed with two ballerinas of my own who would love for me to stitch them a lovely costume too. Your model is painfully cute:) good luck on your new line it looks lovely and I wish I could pet it.
Great fabric for any little girl. Thanks.
I have taken dance including ballet or tap from the age of 4. While I will never be a ballerina, I have had a lot of fun with it over the years.
You bet I dreamed of being a ballerina! Actually I think I still have my last pair of pointe shoes is a box somewhere :o)
This is a beautiful line of fabrics!
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
This fabric is so lovely! The model is adorable!
Yes, I still dare to dream, but not of being a ballerina... And your Piourette fabric certainly is dreamy as well! Thanks!
WHat a beautiful little model. I have lived many versions of my dreams. Right now, after a cross-country move, I am searching for the next one. I will find it! Thanks for the chance to win so much gorgeous fabric!!
My daughter , who is now 26, dressed as a ballerina from the age of 3 -6, in whatever she could find that was frilly! Love the fabric!
I didn't dream of being a ballerina but if I love to see them perform. I love to dance in general. Thanks for the chance to win.
So lovely and I have 7 grandy girls I can use it for too!

I don't see my comment. Lovely fabric though. deut28bless at hotmail dot com
Such pretty fabric! I was a figure skater in my younger days... that is close to being a ballerina I think!! But seriously, I literally still dream about skating and performing... however, I am sure that I would really hurt myself if I attempted those jumps (hehehe). Thanks for the chance!
Beautiful fabrics for anyone!
One of my daughters was a ballerina, too. Thanks for the give away.
never dreamed that but most of my dreams have come true
not a ballerina, but a skater who danced on ice! i lived on my skates in winter until i was 14 and came down with polio ... that was almost 60 years ago and haven't been on the ice since, but i still remember the fun of dancing on ice.
What a little cutie she looks gorgeous in her tutu and leotard :)
Thank you for the giveaway :)
When I was a child I dreamed one day I would have a happy home. My dream came true. :) Beautiful ballerina & gorgeous fabric!
I did dream of becoming a ballerina. Today my dream/goal is to be a fabulous seamstress. Right now I can only do the basics. Hopefully soon, I cam make beautiful dresses for my girlies.
I always wanted to learn how to tap dance.
I do love those fabrics. Pink is one of my favorite colors. thanks for the giveaway.
I have a little ballerina in my life-my three year old granddaughter. I would love to make her something from this.
Oh those fabrics are superb.. I think I am in love! (Paris anyone?!;D)
That dress and the model are too cute for words lol, thanks for the smile.
My dream is to be able to have a wonderful wedding in April on a very tight budget.
Karsyn is such a sweetie pie, glad you gave her the outfit. I dreamed of being a singer but I couldn't carry a tune if my life depended on it. Beautiful fabric, thanks for the chance.
I used to have a dream to become a ballerina. But, I am not dare to dream now. I wish I had a daughter will become one :D
Love this fabric! Very romantic and Girly!

Love this fabric! Stunning!
I was too much of a tomboy to dream of being a ballerina. However, I did have a circle skirt and a pleated skirt when I was about 9 yrs old that I loved to twirl around in.
This fabric looks so Elegant I love it. No I never had the opportunity to take ballet but one of our four daughters took ballet lessons.
Not only did I dream of one day being a ballerina, I did classes, read books and owned a proper tutu, I also choreographed my own ballet of the ugly duckling and performed it for family one year (and, horrors, my mother still has a video of it.)

Oh, yes, I did indeed want to be a ballerina when I grew up. I lived in a rural area and it was my good fortune that the new school principal's wife taught various forms of dance, gymnastics and baton. I took classes in everything for the two years she was there but ballet was my favourite. My Mom made me a beautiful satin and toile tutu and matching satin ballet slippers. Le sigh! It was dreamy. And no, I did not grow up to be a ballerina. I'm a librarian who loves to go to see the professional ballet companies when they perform here.
My granddaughter would love to be a prima ballerina! Thanks for the giveaway...Verna's fabric is lovely!
Beautiful fabric! I never really wanted to be a ballerina although I do remember trying to stand on my toes. What I wanted to do was be a tap dancer and I did eventually take a class in college which was a lot of fun.
I did ballet for years myself. However I dreamed of being an archaeologist! I studied it in college but went in a different direction after my children arrived.
When I was young I wanted to take ballet lessons but grew up in the middle of the country where there were no teachers. I still dream of doing things - it is what keeps us young
Gorgeous fabrics:)
Bizarrely, I dreamed of working in Antarctica... Never happened! My new dream is to someday get a long arm quilting machine :o)
Love the fabric - the little ballerina is so cute. I loved books & reading at an early age & wanted to be a librarian. I studied & worked hard & became one. Thanks for the chance to win.
A ballerina - no. I wasn't built that way but I was a great tomboy. However, dance in general was my dream - loved to dance! Do I still dream? You bet I do and hope I never stop. I would love to have this beautiful fabric to dream about. Thanks.
I never wanted to be a ballerina, as for dreaming, I'm still going strong so no, all of my dreams haven't come true, yet.
I never dreamed of being a ballerina but my daughter did!
These days my dreams are more realistic!!
I did dream of becoming a ballerina. Unfortionatly my family did not have much money growing up so I was not able to take any dance classes untill I was 17, taking college classes. Since then I have taked Ballet, Jazz, Hip-hop, ballroom, a little tap (almost not worth mentioning), and contemporary. Though I have not danced in over a year since I got married and moved away. I still dare to dream and I am waiting for the day when I can buy my first pain of points :)
A ballerina, yes, also an Olympic horsewoman, Pulitzer author, Nobel prize physicist, architect, pianist, model, fashion designer, oil painter, wife/mother, ... none of these dreams came true and I am happy.
Great to have a dream. Mine is to own some of that gorgeous fabric. Just so beautiful
My dream is to own this fabric. Just beautiful
I dream of PINK!! When I was young my room was pink - and the fuchsia curtains made the AIR pink! I loved it. Thanks for the giveaway.
You are never too old to dream! The fabric is gorgeous and the little ballerina is precious!
I may never have dreamed of being a ballerina but I do dream about fabrics and these Ballerina ones are marvelous!
I still dare to dream,,,everyday! My dreams at this age are more for others than myself though! Thanks for the chance to win.
Vernal knows how to touch that romantic spot in your heart. Sigh.
Never dreamed about being a ballerina - grew up too quickly;) but always like to look at them. Thanks for the giveaway.
From the ages 6-12 I was a ballerina, and I still love the gear--black slippers, black leotards--but no tutus--I never did like the scratchy tutus.
These fabrics are so lovely!
I have a little granddaughter who wants to be a ballerina. I dream of being around long enough to see her achieve her dreams.
Love the color palette and Free Spirit fabrics. Dreaming is what keeps us trying to achieve more.
I never dreamed of being a ballerina but my adult daughter took lessons and was a tin solider in the Nutcracker and my granddaughter takes ballet. I would love to win these fabrics - I would make your quilt from market!
those are very pretty!! I've honestly never dreamed of being a ballerina--I was too much of a tomboy :)
What beautiful fabric. When I was younger, I dreamed of being a grandmother with my kids and their kids sitting at our holiday table. Dream realized - and it's even better than I ever imagined!
I have two left feet, but the fabric makes my heart dance!
Such pretty fabric! I have had a lot of my dreams come true. I never really wanted to be a ballerina though. Thanks for the chance to win.
