Then make sure while you are in Houston that you cross the street,
behind the GRB, and eat at Kim Son, or go to Vietopia on Westpark or Miss Saigon in the Village on Kirby and while you're in the Village, visit Chocolate Du'Monde! Hand made truffles! Tina |

Copyright and stealing (ON topic)
I've asked many pattern designers for permission to maybe sell one or two
things made from their patterns---this also includes embroidery designs. The majority say go ahead and make a million bucks with them. If only I could do that(BEG)! So far I've been turned down by only one person--that person is someone locally and occ. on this group(not often).. I no longer will buy her patterns. Unfortunately, I have many ideas and designs running around in my head, but do not have the artistic talent to get them out of there. I have great respect for those that design patterns and embroidery designs Gen "Kathy Applebaum" wrote in message om... I've seen several posts advocating the position that it's okay to use copyrighted images or patterns without permission because the designer "should" share with everyone. What I don't get is why permission isn't asked. It's really not that hard to write a simple email. I've asked for permission numerous times, and only been turned down once. (That one time was funny in retrospect, because the design was not particularly original.) Most designers I've talked to are incredibly generous and very flattered that someone would ask. That's the important part: asking. |

"Get it?"
"Got it!" "Good!" one of our family "isms" that could apply here! "Nuff said. "Tina" wrote in message oups.com... Thank you Diana - but allow me to also clarify, I never meant for any of the pictures to go without credit in the first place. I fully intended to post the names of the quilters and the names of their quilts. If you noticed, if anyone noticed, on the first night, the pictures were only posted with the numbers they are assigned by the digital camera. I was exhausted and excited and had not even titled the phots when they were posted. Since the brou ha ha, I made the album private, deleted the album and even went back to work the next day and clarified, what I could and could not "legally" photograph, what I could and could not "legally" post to my own personal website (not a Webshots site where they can be purchased/downloaded or put on mugs, t-shirts, cards, etc.) and since then, I have not posted them anywhere publicly and am not sure that I ever will make them public. I have also, since this brou ha ha started, talked to artists personally and asked their permission to photograph/post on a private website, their quilts. And yes, it is a LOT of fun, it is very reassuring and encouraging to talk with the artists themselves. I personally don't think it is "ok" to post copyrighted material on a public website. That's why the first day I worked IQF, I ASKED what I could and could not photograph. My husband is a professional photographer, and he is ANAL about copyright laws. He would personally wring my neck if I violated any copyright laws, especially if I did it on one of our computers or even worse, on HIS website! I may be new, naive, enthusiastic and excited, but NO, I am not stupid and I am not a thief and I would hate it if some wonderful quilter thought I just stole his/her design or didn't give him/her credit for all the wonderful work they did. I guess that's really part of what started this all. I stated right off the bat that I was tired and had not cleaned up the photos or done anything with them (put credits) when I posted them. Ok, my mistake, I should have waited to post them until I had taken the time to do that and I am sorry. But I never would have intentionally violated a copyright law. I would have never intentionally insulted an artist or stolen their work or not given them credit. geez, I already feel like I've been given my 50 lashes DH says if someone really wants to make something of it, give them the phone number for his copyright lawyer, I say, screw it, I made a mistake, I apologized, I fixed it, I'm sorry, I won't do it again, let it go Tina |

OT Kathy Applebaum Week!! Copyright and stealing (ON topic)
To say nothing of her all around good heartedness and generosity!
Kathy once sent me a really goofy Christmas Holiday CD. It was a fun to slip it into my DS gift pile! Let's declare this Kathy Applebaum Week! Kathy, for all you do, this week's for you!

Taria Sandy Foster wrote: I have to echo what Jan has said. Kathy really is incredibly generous with her knowledge. Some time ago, I asked about some thread colors, and she went to the trouble of sending me the information I needed -- and that's not mentioning the information she's also shared with me about Mac/Palm stuff. Thanks, Kathy! And, BTW, you do incredible quilting, Kathy! |

Oh, I love doing binding. How do you feel about hand applique? We could trade. Or maybe not. I'm making banana chocolate chip muffins here. And trying to get this applique sample done. Oh yes, I had decided to shelve the un-ending problem project for a while and let the shop have one of the blocks for the class sample. When I went to the shop she said, oh, there's this great new book out and you could do something from this instead. It is fun, I'm just on a bit of a quick schedule now to make it. The book, for those who like applique is: Tea in the Garden by Cynthia Tomaszewski Martingale & Company publisher And...if the cute quilts weren't enough, there is a muffin recipe to go with each pattern.

DS may be heading to Sac town after the first of the year.
Maybe I could visit then? Taria Kathy Applebaum wrote: "Marcella Peek" wrote in message ...
