She said she searched for the pattern and couldn't find it so she enclosed a check. I was so surprised. At first I thought she wanted to buy the pattern.

Why not just ask if a mistake was made. I mailed her a check, another check to cover her charges from the credit card co. And never got a thank you. Not all quilters are nasty. Thank heavens or I wouldn't call myself a quilter! Kindness goes a long way. Pass it on! Hugs and blessings for you.

Personally, I don't want to have anything to do quilt police. If it's supposed to be a secret, it ought to be in HUGE letters and right up front in the rules! That you searched and couldn't find it is a good indication that this was not something that was emphasized. Pinning things without permission is one of the things I don't like about Pinterest. There are ways to try to keep people from taking pictures from a site, codes to put in, but there are also ways around them, and I know them, so I'm sure other people do, too. <br /><br />I'm glad you are working to diminish the effect this has on you. Can you incorporate what you've done into something else? I can't believe they didn't even have the courtesy to TELL you that you weren't going to get the information any longer and why. That's beyond bad manners and rudeness! Thank you for the giveaway. This looks like a great issue, and I've never seen the magazine around here. Maybe I just haven't looked hard enough. =)Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-24429333302703999992016-08-04T13:01:09.974-07:002016-08-04T13:01:09.974-07:00Lori, So sorry to read this.

Banishment is harsh especially since you realized your mistake and made amends. I recently joined FB to catch up on family and to check on quilting related sites. I was a holdout because I'm not a fan of all the bullying and hate filled posts. When others are mean, you have to keep a happy heart! Hugs, my friend!

Too Judgmental for me! It's not like you did it on purpose and everyone make mistakes. Unfortunately people don't let you make mistakes anymore. That's why young people no longer have any way to learn right from wrong. Anyhow, continue on and don't let it get you down!

Trademark and writers rights are nothing to make fun of especially if it is your work that is being used/traded/sold with no prior approval. The members of that group did not have the final say, the owner did. Nice they wanted to defend the owner but not their ultimate say so. If you pulled the post off and sent owner a personal apology including what you have learned from the event, Well that is about all you could do but you also need to look into making your blog not open to unauthorized copying. Pinterest is an odd animal. I like/hate it.....same with FB. You can only lock down so far. Closed groups are the only venue that protects the most and it is being altered.<br /><br />So that is that and I am hoping everyone is having a sunny day, sewing up a storm and not hearing hammering, my studio is being built!!!!! we had rain and now sun and hoping we don't get another deluge like the one a week or so ago where we were a news item for being grossly flooded....hey look there goes my dock.....jane nj/wihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647265942303671745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-73331315617213870692016-08-04T11:03:21.109-07:002016-08-04T11:03:21.109-07:00Well Lori you just cant please everyone and take h...Well Lori you just cant please everyone and take heart that itd not that big of a deal!
