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!

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

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.

Wait, wait, I can't take credit for all that. If you will recall, it was YOU
who introduced me to that great chocolate factory. *drool*

Now, everyone, quit tooting my horn and get back to sewing! Or come to my
house and finish the binding on those three quilts I've been neglecting.
I'll provide tea, chocolate, and fresh baked cookies, as well as hand dyed
silk to fondle. Who's in?

I like binding. I'll help. I'll bring my paint swatches, too.

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

Default 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!

with paint type questions too. She just knows a lot of
helpful stuff.

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. Wicked.

DS may be heading to Sac town after the first of the year.
Maybe I could visit then?
