I’ve had it! I know I go on and on about copyrights but I was just looking through my blog stats and I found that people from a certain site and group have been looking through my posts and pages. This message is directed to those people and anyone else involved in copyright infringements. I now see that my copyrighted chartpack designs are being illegally scanned and made available on that site. Whoever you are, if you are so anxious to get my designs and supposedly love them so much you should realize how much these violations hurt the designer. I can only hope that in good conscience you will take it upon yourself to stop sharing my work. What does it take for someone to understand that this is how I and other designers earn their living. I spend many many hours trying to bring the best designs I can to all my fans and the feedback and support that I get from the wonderful honest stitchers that enjoy and support my work is a true gift. I cherish the friendships we have nurtured together over the internet the past few years. What a terrible shame that there are others out there that are compelled to act so contrary to this good will. To all the infringers, do you really think that somehow giving my charts away for free is a good thing? Do you ever imagine how I feel when I see my work being used in this way, be it chartpacks or entire books that you have been copying? Think about it. Respect the designers and do the right thing.
