Today's favorite moment (besides snug-a-lugging with our girls) is when I clicked on a twitter link from Design Sponge + Jessica Hische and instantly became mesmerized by these stunning embroidered book cover designs for Penguin Books by Jillian Tamaki! They are gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Wouldn't you agree?! The titles, Emma, The Secret Garden and Black Beauty couldn't be more perfect either.
We will all have to wait a while to get our hands on these babies, sounds like November, but it is a dream to be able to see such talent and work in progress! Jillian's other work is incredible too, like this Monster Quilt -- Gasp! Beyond her apparent beautiful embroidery talents, she is a illustrator and comic artist who lives in Brooklyn and also teaches at the School of Visual Arts.

Wow - they are absolutely stunning! They look wonderful, but I bet they feel even better beneath the fingertips! :)
These are fantastic! I wonder how they'll be presented... as wall art? Pillows? Embroidery is such a perfectly beautiful art.

Lovely, I especially love the Secret Garden book! I already own a copy but I may need to splurge on another just because the book is so pretty.
One of best friends is studying to become a librarian + she is just going to looove these! Thank you for posting. xo Lola
