I think think there are a lot of rules being broken all the time and I have to admit that I am one of them. Here is my confession. I have posted cover pics' of patterns I have made thinking it actually promoted a persons pattern. I have also mentioned certain products with favorable and unfavorable reviews of them. How else is any one who asks for information going to get it? Some one has to make a statement about stuff. That is how we learn.
I like certain fabric brands and quilters. I am certainly a rule breaker, happily!
peace
