Theft will happen and there is no reason to let that demoralize you. I have a feeling that the people who were sharing your pattern did not realize they were breaking copyright. They probably thought that it fits the "personal use" idea.Shelina (formerly known as Shasta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03290945204269323129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391792078836906166.post-44328776582929148552020-02-21T05:08:35.727-05:002020-02-21T05:08:35.727-05:00What an incredible story.

I am so sorry that people think that it is okay to share your patterns for free. I have seen one online seller charging for patterns that were offered free by fabric companies and were still available for free. I did contact the fabric company about it but don't know how it was resolved.

Lucy is a Godsend in our World and will forever be an Angel here and in Heaven. Her Friendship of Flowers draping is such a tribute to handwork and design and inspiration. I am grateful you have not given up in spite of those who have no integrity and prefer to steal what they cannot do for themselves. As I am slow stitching on your Wonderland Woods design I am ever grateful for YOU and your amazing talent you so generously share with us. I shall always support Raspberry Rabbits and many other small independent businesses. Thank You Sweet Shell.

What comfort you gave her. Second, your designs are out of this world wonderful, I am sorry people are stealing from you, it is disheartening but I will tell you this, not only are your designs wonderful but you bring comfort and joy to those around you, so don't stop....keep on a trucking.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622919657309096651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391792078836906166.post-57511641298774252492020-02-20T05:52:45.547-05:002020-02-20T05:52:45.547-05:00Wow.

I too have this faith and as I age, I am grateful for the opportunity to experience this life and to tell about it. I love how all of us have different ways of communicating the joy and wonder of living in this vessel we call a body; your talents and joys have reached many hearts dearest Shell, and to think that this wonderful woman requested that your art be the blanket that covered her on her last "farewell."<br /><br />Art makes a difference when it comes with friendship.

One day I hope to join you for a class, but right now I am teaching and living above the Arctic Circle. You and your bunnies bring me joy in a very cold and lonely place.

Bee creative, bee courageous and keep Faith. Know that you are true to yourself and an inspiration to others. Know, too, that you are making the world more beautiful with your life's work and you have blessed many with your generosity and heart. Those that steal are those that live in shame, or should.
