I recently received an email from the designer of a BOM I did at my lqs who was asking for help with a similar issue. The quilt from that BOM was featured in the ad campaign for a longarm manufacturer - it was the quilt on the frame in the pictures showing their product. Fons & Porter were in the picture, and identified, too, getting ready to quilt it, but no mention of the designer or the pattern name. The designer also said that neither the long arm manufacturer nor the ad agency asked permission to use her design in the photo and her efforts to get some acknowledgement have resulted in bupkus. I was amazed at that, too.
