I contacted Shopify and they took it very seriously. Asked me to fill out an official form and send it back. I was going to do that tomorrow and I went to the website to get the link and it has been removed!
So, either Shopify jumped on them or they reacted to my comments this morning. Either way, they are no longer selling my design.

I am so sorry to hear this. It actually angers me. You put a lot of work into this piece and even though it is hard to fight copyright infringements it is still worth the try. Have you contacted an attorney yet? This is one of the bad side effects of the internet.

Watson, good for you in being so quick to respond to this. It's an outstanding piece of textile art and needs to be respected.

Looks sketchy to me too - Under FAQ-s - "My tracking # doesn't work" - their answer - "If the tracking number is still not working within a few days, please contact the shipping carrier." No, that's not going to work. It's the seller's duty to follow up, not the buyer's. I would stay far, far away from this company, looks like the typical FB scam ad. Especially since their pictures imply that the products are handmade. And the fact that they are calling them "quilt blankets".

Glad you got your problem resolved, OP.

ETA - went to their "blog" - they stole a "Winter Star" quilt tutorial from Jenny Doan including using a picture of her. Brazen.
