A little Peter Rabbit inspiration...
Even the smallest one can change the world.
Beatrix Potter, beloved English author and illustrator, is best known for the world she created with iconic Peter Rabbit at its center. Were you drawn to this mischievous rabbit and his adventures in Mr. McGregor's garden? Though this story was first published in 1902, it remains timeless- captivating readers of all ages for generations. Do you remember the cast? Benjamin Bunny, Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, and Squirrel Nutkin. Each character had their own unique personality, but aside from charming characters, it was Potter's detailed watercolour illustrations that brought these stories to life in a heartwarming way. And now you can have all this nostalgic allure in a quilt!! Jackpot!
