Default Copyright and items sold at Quilt Shows

Hi,
This topic came up recently among some quilters and me. When a Quilt Guild has a boutique or table where members sell their handmade items, does the guild hold any responsibility on whether or not the items are made from patterns in the public domain? Is anything in the Quilt Show policies that address this area? Most of the items we sell are not made from a purchased pattern such as pillows made from panels, small baby quilts, pot holders and mug rugs. I have seen tutorials on line that allow home crafters to sell items made from them as long as credit to the designer and the website is attached. Is it the committee members' responsibility to monitor this?
Thanks for your help.
