OOooh, cool pattern. Thanks for the links...not that I have any time to create Christmas presents but i may have to start a new tradition for my mom. One of those a year should keep her happy for a while until I finally get to make a quilt for her, that is. She's giving me a double wedding ring this Christmas (fingers crossed) and I know she's put tons of hours into it.
As far as this lady saying that you can't reproduce her ornaments, that's just nutty. I could take a pattern, make some and put up a warning, too but it's meaningless if you can prove that you got them elsewhere (like the site with the directions on it LOL). You're good to go, although I don't know anyone around here willing to pay 30 freaking dollars for one little ball. I'm with you, 10-15 in my neighborhood would be reasonable. The best part is that you'll use very little fabric. I already have a gameplan green & gold for mom, she'd like that and has commented on the 2 fabics I'm talking about before. |

So, if I'm reading it correctly, she is saying that you CANNOT make the ornaments, but then again, she could be saying you CANNOT use the same fabric and make a ball that looks like hers. I'm thinking she needs to check around the internet because I have seen MANY that look like hers, with charms, glitter and all. Terri there was a pattern for this ornament somewhere else on this forum.. I can't remember where now, but its here somewhere. I made the egg ornaments like this a few years ago and gave them as gifts. They were a real hit. hmmmm I wonder if I should try them again??? |
I"m going to give them a go.
WOn't be until next week tho. I want to get a few lap quilts done this week. Well, the tops, that is, then work on a few totes. I'm thinking doll quilts too, but not sure how those would go over. I need to get going on table runners too. |
I made these ornaments at least 25 years ago. They were lots of fun.
I want to see pictures. :) |
OMG had to laugh when I took a closer look at her site....the children's section has licensed fabrics on each one. UM, I think a copyright infringement on it's own right there unless of course she's paying the companies :hunf: which looks a little doubtful.
|
It could be that her copyright is for her PHOTOGRAPHS, etc. I've seen many sites that don't want you to use their pictures - I think Karla has something like that on her site even.
You can copyright a written pattern, but I don't think you can stop someone from creating their own pattern or using a 'free' one to make a similar item. Does that make sense? |
I understand about the photos, but she has included pretty much everything.
|
Terri, someone on here posted those just recently and I believe it took me to a differnet web site than you posted. I will see if I can find it again.
FOUND IT! But don't know how to post page link here - It is under links and resources August 12, 2008 posted by thecalicocottage. It does take you to the same link you posted, but do look at the two she made - much nicer looking - at least I think so. |

This lady is charging 26 dollars for each one. Hmm....I seem to have a sudden urge to pick up some styrofoam balls at the hobby lobby....LOL |
