The invisible quilter returns LOL!!!

Ooooooh, offset to one side, leaving room for nice block work. Excellent idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just the kind of thing I was looking for! Thanks so much!

A book I've enjoyed for crib quilt panels is Clever Quilts by Susan Teegarden Dissmore. The truth is, I haven't actually tested the patterns for accuracy since all panels and fussy cut blocks can be strange sizes but the book is a treasure. Polly

The Forest Quilt for Kia came from that book. I remember someone else used another of the patterns around the same time.

I'll use it again.

Ok, you all have made eBay a little happy. I found both the Clever Quilts AND the Clever Quilt Encore on eBay for a fairly reasonable price. Should have them in a week or so. I'll post some pics when I actually get something Finished.

Thanks again, Lorraine

Lorraine,

I'll comment only on this:

Look up "Quilter's Guide to Panel Magic" on amazon, it gives a few other too.

Another book I have is "Attic Windows: Quilts With a View" about attic windows - some of the samples show a big panel piece used as the "view" out of a series of windows. That would be pretty cool if you have appropriate panels. In fact, I like this book better for the ideas than the one above.

Or maybe cut the panel into squares and re-assemble as an Attic Window. Roberta in D

I checked out the link and was rather surprised at the proposals. I wonder what the rationale is for such an extreme change.

I know, kinda scary huh! Probably someone somewhere wants to make some money off of either copyright registrations, or simply by stealing other peoples soon to be "unprotected" design works. AFAIK, the current system works just fine the way it is. If someone accidently violates, they simply must cease and repay. It is said that this new system would make it extremely cost prohibitive for smaller artists to get their work safely protected in the first place. Not only that, if foreign creators are not "registered" here, then their works are up for grabs by these new laws. Let's hope the legislation fails!

Lorraine

Ok, it's all your fault. Yet another book coming to my collection. LOL I thought that I had "all" the technique books I would ever need. This is one niche that I missed. Looking forward to getting these fabrics out and assembled! Thanks!

I did a baby quilt from that book. It's a great book!!

Well, some of the quilt makers of the past have unprotected designs...such as Jane Stickle's quilt. Brenda Papadakis made it famous with her book Dear Jane. Brenda published a book of the quilt blocks but the quilt wasn't copywrited as it had been on display for some years when she saw it. I suppose any company could use that design for whatever purposes?

Just don't call it "Dear Jane" or she'll sue you. Does anyone remember that ebay controversy? I think in the end the seller's "In the style of Jane Stickle" quilt went for a lot more than it would have because of the publicity.

I didn't know she'd done an Encore so I've ordered it. Ideas always useful for things for stalls at charity events, and I go 'brain dead' when faced by a novelty print - and its novelty prints that sell!

If I remember correctly, US copyright surpasses the artists death by

Copyright is sometimes such a controversial issue! The only reason I posted that information was to make interested folks aware of what was going on. I don't want to stir up a brew of heated discussions. :-)

But you can sell a quilt using the Jane Stickle blocks unlike some patterns that are sold. ( and yes,,,don't call it Dear Jane...I think she copywrited that ?) I've seen restrictions and can't blame a designer. There might be a chance that a manufacturer might buy their design and make a zillion bags, quilts ..whatever.. and the designer would get a good feel. Or , perhaps they might find a manufacturer ( probably in China????? ) and get their designs made there for sale around the world .
