In another attempt to clean off my sewing cabinet I came across these 3 Liberty Lawn prints I purchased a few months ago. They are designs by Brian Wildsmith. He illustrated many books and I have a favorite.
I love the illustrations in this book so much that I have never shared it with the little ones in the family.
Can you resist this cute face and those leaves and stems?
Here is some more of the foliage. I love the hollow leaves and all of the dotty paint splatters in the background.
And then there is the tortoise. I also have a book Illustrated by Brian W. about squirrels that I bought second hand that has some really nice illustrations. If you do a search for him you can see more of the illustrations.
Yesterday was errand day since I was no longer restricted from driving AND could take a shower and wash my hair for the first time since the pacemaker replacement surgery.

Lovely illustrations! The rabbit is especially irresistible :). I’m sure taking a shower felt wonderful.

Pretty Liberty fabrics! Love the illustrations in that book, looks like they could be good inspiration for your quilts.
What a wonderful artistic combination!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes children's books for the illustrations. As I scrolled down and saw the pictures, before even reading, my first thought was "that fabric would be fantastic to make a wall hanging of the cover". Then I see the tortoise shell is decorated in batik! Sweet! I like the old hand drawn & painted cartoons too - the background art in them is fantastic. The CGI & AI images I've seen for children seems...cold and flat, IMHO.
Glad you feel better! Love the book...My favorite was Ferdinand.

It's always a relief to get past post-surgery restrictions!
