really most of this is a bunch of garbage and it all started by an article in McCalls quilting before then I subscribed to every quilt magazine out there since then I get no quilt magazines do not enter or go to quilt shows so I don't worry about it there are so many free patterns on the internet there is no need to even buy one I could not understand why that woman was wanting her patterns in a magazine then coming back that if you made a quilt using one they could not even hang in the local library when people quits buying their patterns then they will change their minds personally if I designed a pattern I would be proud to see someone using it I would know it was liked
