Bonnie
I just read Bonnie's blog. This Donna Slater person is a real winner. If she had just gotten back to Bonnie when Bonnie contacted her, this wouldn't have happened. Now she's on her high horse, thinking she is better than Bonnie and throwing out lawsuits and all that. Well, gee. Who died and made her quilt god? She must be one of the only quilters with this attitude. I've thought that quilters by and large are a very congeniel group, cooperative, friendly etc. I guess that does not apply to her. If you haven't read Bonnie's blog, I think you all should. Take a very good look at the photo's Bonnie has posted. Try to see the differences in the quilts besides the fabric. There really isn't any. And also try to read with the sarcasim inflection. It really works. Bonnie has been up front from the beginning and she puts her patterns out there for all to see, without charge. I guess money is the root of all evil and the prospect of a lot of it makes people evil. Just my two cents. Keep the piece.

Your perception of this Slater woman's response is exactly the same as mine was . . . why didn't she respond in a timely basis. Anyway, who ever heard of her? We all know and love Bonnie!
I think this whole thing is preposterous. The Trip design is public domain and so she makes it scrappy-what's wrong with that? Nobody owns scrappy.
It's been blown up out of all proportion thanks to some people not responding to emails when they should. The trouble with the internet/blogging is that some people think patterns/designs are in the public domain and they're not.
I'm glad for Bonnie's sake that this whole business has died down. It's not the first time it's happened and let's hope this will be the last!
