This blog is dedicated to applique. Glorious applique!!! The focus here will be hand applique, but there is room for machine applique too. Kim McLean is the designer whose patterns and quilts we will be working on together. Are you ready?! Let's SEW!!!
I too had someone write to ask about showing their finished quilt, at a Show in Maine. One doesn't need permission, correct? They've made their own quilt using a Kim McLean design. They're not showing the original Kim McLean quilt. Credit needs to be given as, "This is a Kim McLean design, Roseville Album...." Right?
Hi Everyone, The attachment below is the information about display and other copyright issues. It seems that when you buy a pattern you only have the right to make it, not display it. Many shows in the US now requires proof of permission to display. Some designers are posting permission on their blogs for quilts when they are giving the patterns for free. This past fall one of the magazines had articles about this. Hope this help.
Hi All Kim's computer is on the blink. I am certain she is OK with anyone who has made one of her patterns into a quilt, to show it. She has given permission when asked. Giving her credit as the designer is all we ask.
