Another part of a good question.
The pictures of anything are the property of the person who took the picture.
But if you (meaning anyone in general) say for instance took a picture of someone else's pattern, you would have violated the designer's rights. Unless you had their permission of course.
If you post your own picture of your own work, you are good to go.
But if you post a picture from a magazine or someone else's website or the cover of a pattern or book, that's a violation -
Meaning, "If it ain't yours, it's someone else's."
But note: We post and share pictures of quilt shows all the time. No one objects.
I have seen entries at quilt shows where they won't allow pictures taken of their quilt on display. I understand this, but it's a sure thing that with phone cameras, etc, there are pictures taken of Everything All The Time Everywhere regardless of what the quilt owner says.
If it's on show in any manner, it will be photo'd and sent around.
