2.All copyrights will be honored and protected. Each participant is responsible for obtaining 1 or more commercial versions of “The Farmers Wife Sampler Quilt” whether that be the book or the C.D. meant to be used with E.Q program is your choice. You do not have to have E.Q. in order to participate in this project, but many find it invaluable. There will be links listed in upcoming topics to places you can purchase either the book, or the c.d..
Because we wish to respect Laurie A. Hird's (the author's) efforts to research and document this quilt, as well as any contractual obligations she has to the publishers of the commercial products, we will not publish just a list of the blocks used in the quilt. that decision is based on ethics and because it is much safer from a legal perspective than trying to guess what would or wouldn't get somebody or everybody - including Laurie - successfully sued.
This is absolutely the correct way to handle this project and thank you rwquilts for reminding everyone. Ms. Hird's hard work and research MUST be honored. I and all four of my Bee members have purchased the book, had it bound with a coil for easier reference and are making four blocks each time we meet once a month. It is a joy to see so much excitement due to Ms. Hird's book. Belles
