I know I speak for many people out there that truly are inspired by your work<br />And now a quick question .. if you have a minute.. on the border strips that you presoak... are the vines and flowers all appliqued down when you stretch and soak before adding to the quilt... I always have trouble making them not wavy.... thanks for the helpUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536045541535662049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26850144.post-53921995003796342222018-04-20T07:05:27.245-07:002018-04-20T07:05:27.245-07:00I found your blog a few years ago and have read ev...I found your blog a few years ago and have read every single post in the archives. Words of gratitude could never be found to thank you for the amount of information and inspiration received. Your photos are pure eye candy and are as informative as your written words. You are NOT wrong to try to protect YOUR intellectual property and I'm appalled that you had to respond to a selfish and rude person. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your work on this blog. I don't travel much and will probably never see your work in person, nor take a class with you (although that is at the top of my bucket list). Please continue this blog and do not be disheartened by the ignorance of some. Hopefully, your words have educated this person who obviously needs it.kupton52https://www.blogger.com/profile/06144423270354113422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26850144.post-28384482296831330922018-04-17T12:54:16.032-07:002018-04-17T12:54:16.032-07:00Definitely name and shame, you are so generous wit...Definitely name and shame, you are so generous with your techniques and ideas, thank y inspire me tremendously.

Users only understand “copy/paste” or use a single social media platform with ease, so they don’t completely get the idea of linking back to original content when they refer to it. I know I have had numerous opportunities to “share” your advice for dealing with dye migration and bleeding, but always link to your post to do so. “MSG says...” is as expert as it gets, IMHO. 😉LoriMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914996298443275806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26850144.post-49956708608145548242018-04-16T06:39:42.279-07:002018-04-16T06:39:42.279-07:00I sew for myself, this is my hobby.

I can't imagine anyone deciding that Michaelangelo didn't deserve to have his painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel if he chose not to share images of it. Assuming, of course, that that had been something to worry about back then. <br />You do gorgeous work. You are a professional, making a living from what you do. No one has the right to tell you that you *must* share everything without limits.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667715646074106309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26850144.post-28072757973116375092018-04-15T15:58:53.899-07:002018-04-15T15:58:53.899-07:00I agree with Vicki.

Your previous post about walking your readers through the creation of a (gorgeous) show quilt was fantastic. I loved it. I think there is just this misconception out there in the Internet world that if the photo is out there, you can do whatever you want with it. Same with free lessons, free patterns, free quilting and embroidery designs, etc. Folks just don't fully understand intellectual property right laws, and also don't spend the time reading site disclaimers. I'm sorry you've had to post about this, but gosh, maybe folks will read, and then understand. Love your blog, your quilts are inspirational, your classes are fantastic, and your books let us have you right in our quilting studios.

I'm a so appreciative that you share your talents and processes. I like that you detail which thread and batting you use and how you create your templates...and that sometimes even you need to pick out bad tension nests. I rarely comment on blogs, but felt that you need to hear from those of us who are quiet to know that there are so many who understand and follow copyright laws and fully support your stance regarding intellectual property. The more copyright issues are discussed the better chance that people will support pattern makers, magazine distributors and artists of all kinds.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04040897547690004664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26850144.post-43608320216132826552018-04-15T10:01:46.029-07:002018-04-15T10:01:46.029-07:00Hi Margaret,

I have learned so very much from you, and I only hope that a few "bad apples" don't sour you on those of us who have been helped so much by you in our quilting pursuits.<br /><br />Becky KelherBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764670155570199315noreply@blogger.com
