I plan to write to McCalls and let them know what I think.
I did too...read the comments on the maple leaf quilt...very interesting...how could she claim it is her "design"...mind boggling. LOL
Canada has the Maple Leaf on our flag. Maybe that is where she saw it and decided to infringe on our flag copyrights. This is getting absurd. We will have to watch every stitch we make if this keeps up. I wrote to McCall's also. Told them the Maple Leaf quilt in this month's mag looks too much like Ruth Powers' October Weekend Pattern Plus quilt to be a coincidence. They should practice what they preach. If anyone complains about the designs they publish, McCall's can't claim they didn't know. They published the article and left themselves wide open.
