I am an absolute sucker for embroidered illustrations. <\/p>\n

"Anne's Colors"<\/p>\n

Not that I knew these books were illustrated in needlework when I requested them from the library to read as part of Carrie’s L.M. Montgomery Reading Challenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All I knew was that they were board books based on the Anne books – and that I hadn’t read them yet.<\/p>\n

"Anne's Numbers"<\/p>\n

Now that I have read them, I want the original needlework from each page framed in my bedroom. They’re great. I’ve flipped through the pages time and time again, wondering if I could trace the designs onto fabric and replicate them. Is that a violation of copyright? Even if I’m just intending to use them in my own home?<\/p>\n

It really doesn’t matter because I don’t have time to embroider myself a set of Anne illustrations. But I still wonder.<\/p>\n

Someday.<\/p>\n

For now, I’m thrilled to be able to use the illustrations to share my favorite Anne-ecdotes with my children (who are as yet much too young for the real thing!)<\/p>\n

Tirzah Mae is utterly delighted to hear of an orange-headed girl who smashed her slate over a teasing boy’s head – and of a friend who accidentally made her friend sick by giving her WINE instead of juice!<\/p>\n

“Remember the girl who made her friend sick by ACCIDENT?” she’ll ask me. “She wasn’t trying to make her sick, she just accidentally gave her the wrong drink.”<\/p>\n

If you can only obtain one, choose Anne’s Colors<\/em> which illustrates specific stories from Anne of Green Gables<\/em>. Anne’s Numbers<\/em>, while charming, consists mostly of Anne in non-specific nature settings. <\/p>\n
