There is a book on my shelf I absolut adore! The book is called, 'De regenboog'. The rainbow, if you Translate it in english. It's a Russian folk tales book illustrated by Joeri Wasnetsov and published by Radoega, Moskou.
On the left side of each page is a song or a poem printed, very lovely but I've got the book mainly for its illustrations.
The beautiful illustrations inspire me! I like the style, very suitable to translate into fabric, applique and embroidery, I think.
The pigs in the tree...so funny!

The illustrations are lovely! Ideal to use for a quilt.
Those pigs are great. They brought a smile to my face this grey morning.

Het lijkt wel een speciaal quiltboek,... Hoe heb je dit toch weer gevonden!
"Found" your blog this morning so am popping in to say hello.
Love the illustrations :)
Prachtig, zeer inspirerend! Ik ben dol op dit soort boeken. Ik heb zelf een paar boekjes van Elsa Beskow, de teksten zijn een beetje ouderwets misschien voor de kindertjes van nu (alhoewel ze het bij mij nog steeds prachtig vinden om er uit voor gelezen te worden!), maar de tekeningen zijn zo ontzettend lief, daar kun je naar blijven kijken!
Hele fijne feestdagen gewenst, groetjes Elly
I like the small cild walking in the woods. That would make a great applique wall hanging for the season.
This will be so interesting to see what you make from the illustrations. Lovely book. Happy quilting.
What a wonderful book Hope you have a great Christmas and best wishes for a happy and healthy 2008
I wish you and your family a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
I love your blog and your idea for a quilt from those pictures is a great one! I have done projects like that before and they are always so special and unique. Merry Christmas from Long Island, New York!
Lovely book and a source of inspiration. Merry Christmas Corry, for you and all your family.
Merry christmas and happy and creative New Year!

Those illustrations are wonderful. I can see them easily translated into an applique and embroidery project.
Merry Christmas to you!

What a wonderful book!
I hope you've had a lovely Christmas!
Those are darling - thank you for sharing! I love children's book illustrations. I agree - they're very inspiring. Especially ones from other countries. They tend to have a style that I don't see every day.
Looks like a cute book :)
What an adorable book! I would love to see a quilt made from one of the pictures.
Wat een mooi boek...
'k Heb er nog niet eerder van gehoord.
