Wow, the depths some people will sink to just never cease to amaze me. I shouldn't be surprised because the daily news bombards us every day with people sinking to new depths and these are just the ones that got caught and we hear about. Sad world when we think how many get away with it.
Trying to pass off someone elses work as your own, from plagerism to your example, really frosts my cake (not in a good way). I suspect if some one is willing to do what you described, they would find another way to take credit for work that wasn't their own, or they would not purchase a quilt where they couldn't manipulate the label.
Diane Gaudinsky actually signs her name on her quilts in the quilting itself. I thought that was very clever and may start doing that and put the other pertinant info on the label. That said, I don't think my quilts are quite good enough that someone would want to take credit for them :lol: :lol:
