There's a lot of arguments on this subject. Some say it is NOT true, others say it IS true. I enjoy the stories, and the quilts that go with them, there fore, I choose to believe it is true. I also believe in the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and Santa Clause, because I enjoy all those stories. I think everyone just needs to make up their own minds. Do you plan to make any of the quilts? You could change to colors to your own liking. Enjoy!
