Around here (and I would think in most quilt shops) we know that’s against the law. It always amazes me when people come into our store and take a ruler out, measure the blocks on our samples and then start sketching…WHEN THE PATTERN IS RIGHT THERE TO BUY! This then brings me to my next thought….I’m always interested when people harp on quilt shops. The legit shop owners work very hard to create inspirational environments. In much the same way pattern designers don’t appreciate their work being copied, people who go into shops to take pictures of samples (with the intention to purchase the pattern somewhere else) are just as bad in my opinion. It not only hurts the quilt shop but it trickles down to the pattern designer when the store stops buying their patterns.

Kick ’em where it hurts!!!

They were copying at least one designer’s patterns and selling them. The shop was a very popular shop, well known throughout the area. The owner was popular-had been recognized by the community, etc. Apparently it was stopped after a possible threat of a lawsuit.

But to this day, I will not go to the shop nor will I ever recommend that quilt shop. If they did it once, what is to say they are not doing it again? How horrible!!
