Sometimes a little knowledge empowers some people into thinking they are experts.<br />I agree with you, many so-called quilt designers merely use public domain quilt patterns and call it their own "design" just because they add their personal colour choice!Idle hands, empty brain ...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05388617370564638854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27060730.post-27366657291407382132013-02-18T09:42:45.848-06:002013-02-18T09:42:45.848-06:00I think that woman has some nerve! There are only...I think that woman has some nerve! There are only so many ways to write a factual, legal statement. If you were writing of copyright laws, of course you would be using the same language as the law dictates. You were trying to convey an act of law, not write a fictional story! Sheesh! THEN, for her to try and pass off a pattern as her own! Wow! That's some nerve!<br /><br />And I still have that tutorial you gave for the thimble keeps.....I'm still collecting the plastic tops for our little group to do it together. I probably have enough, but I'm waiting for them to all show some enthusiasm for a project! lol I'm getting a little tired of being the only one thinking FUN at the meetings!<br /><br />But, as with the Clamshells, I think so much of what quilters do is a combination of things we saw before, liked, stored away in our brains, and then somehow made it 'our own'. I've seen so many so-called designers in magazines doing 9-patch quilts, with a different border, and calling it theirs! Really? Sheesh! I know the 9-patch doesn't belong to anyone, but to call themselves designers, just irks me!reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822110311373036914noreply@blogger.com
