Mark Lipinski interviewed Tula Pink on his brand new radio show: http://toginet.com/shows/creativemojo The show was broadcast live at 3 pm EST today.
Tula said Walmart received so many complaints they have agreed to pull the stolen fabric designs from their shelves. Lawyers are working on further information regarding the copyright infringement. http://tulapink.com/2010/09/19/outraged/
The other thread http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-65712-1.htm was locked and I had washed my hands of the whole discussion, but I thought some of you might be happy to see the fabric designer vindicated. Nice to see crafters and quilters show their support and get Walmart to do the right thing.

I can understand the outrage the designer feels, however... I am not to thrilled with her way of expressing it. As much as Walmart is a big capitalistic corporation, to blame them for it all, emmmm not so thrilled with that. It could easily be a lot of different reasons.

I went to Walmart this morning. I found this fabric on the $5 a bolt table. I label on the bolt says:
Road Show Fashion Fabric $5 Per Bolt Various Blends Cotton
Polyester Rayon Nylon
Lots of numbers showing style#
The fabric is not one any quilter would buy, it's not cotton at all but a thin poly/rayon looking stuff.
