bad). Then, when the rains stop, working out in my yard, Flower beds to
clean up, veggies & flowers to plant. All that fun stuff.

An aging man lived alone in Ireland. His only son was in Long Kesh Prison & he
didn’t know anyone who would spade up his potato garden.
The old man wrote to his son about it & received this reply. “FOR HEAVENS SAKE
don’t dig up that garden, that’s were I buried the GUNS!!!!!!
At 4 am the next morning a dozen British soldiers showed up & dug up the entire
garden but didn’t find guns.
Confused, the man wrote to his son telling him what happened & asking what to
do next.
His son’s reply
“Just plant your potatoes”
THE OLYMPIC PATCHWORK QUILT / SOCHI 2014
How did they arrive at a modern, distinctive & unmistakably Russian look of the Games?
Bosco developed the Olympic Patchwork Quilt, warm & welcoming.
The concept of the design is to represent each of Russia’s 89 regions using famous patterns, motifs &
ornaments from various Russian crafts & art forms in the patches.
The look revolves around “the principle of the patchwork quilt”. A combination of 16 designs represent
the most famous traditional Russian art.
Hoffman has created a FREE quilt pattern from Hoffman Batiks called

ARE YOU SAFE?
Is your fabric addiction a serious case?
Can you pass a quilt shop without stopping?
For the fabrics you buy, do you have enough space?
Is your life devoted to shopping?
If quilting is a new passion
Eexposure to quilt shops & the fabrics therein
Is a thing the susceptible should ration.
Be sensible, strong & limit your visits
To these dens of textilean seduction.
Say “NO” now & then just to show that you can.
Claim you are practicing safe stash reduction.
It may well not help — once you have been hooked
On the thrill of the fabric chase,
Nothing can quite compare to the feeling you get
When your acquisitions are home & in place.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS (and WRONGS)
There is one rule of copyright.
Only the copyright owner (initially the person who created the quilt design) has the right to do any of the
following:
Make copies in any medium, including photographs of the work
Make a derivative work. There is no particular amount of change that will make the new work acceptable. If it is a variation of the original, inspired by the original, it is derivative.
Display a work publicly or publish it. For the purposes of copyright, public display means to put it in a
place where a substantial number of persons, not family or social acquaintances, will see it.
Distribute copies of a work by giving or selling them. The exception is if you own a legally created
copy, you may sell or give it away without the designer’s permission. This is called the “first sale”
doctrine. However, ownership does not give the right to make copies, derivatives, or to display or
publish the work.
Like all good rules of law, there are exceptions.
First & foremost, get permission from the copyright holder to copy, make a derivative design, or show the
work publicly.
You can get express permission by asking for it. Or, in the case of published patterns, there is an implied
permission to make a copy for personal use.
Second, there is a very limited exception in the statutes called Fair Use that exempts non-profit schools &
colleges, libraries, scholars & researchers, as well as publishers of commentary or critique, under particular
circumstances.
Finally, the design may be in the public domain. While the length of copyright protection has changed
many times over the years it currently exists for the life of the creator plus 70 years. Once in the public domain, the work can be used by anyone for any purpose.
COPYRIGHT LAW in the QUILT WORLD
Can I sell a quilt made from a magazine pattern?
Yes, When you purchased the magazine you received an implied permission to make a copy. Under the “first sale” doctrine, once the copyright owner sells a pattern, you can make a legal copy & may transfer ownership without asking permission.
Can I teach a class using a quilt pattern that was featured in a magazine?
Yes, but only if each student purchases copy of the magazine containing that pattern. Your role in teaching would be to
show your students the various techniques required & to share your expertise & experience. Since techniques are not
protected by copyright, you would be free to teach them. However, since each student is going to make a copy of the
patterned quilt, each of them needs to get implied permission by purchasing the magazine. This is also true for books &
single patterns.
Can I copy a magazine quilt pattern to share with my friends?
Not without permission. You can make a copy for personal use, & often need to in order to use the templates or appliqué designs. However, you cannot give or sell copies to others. Contact the magazine & they will help you contact the
designer. You will also need the magazine’s permission since they hold a copyright on the pages of the magazine.
Keep in mind also that not only photocopies, but also hand drawn or written copies are prohibited.
If we’re making our guild raffle quilt from a magazine quilt pattern, can I photocopy the pattern for
our guild members?
The same rules apply to guilds & other non-profit groups as apply to individuals. You must have both the designer’s &
the magazine’s permission to copy pages of the pattern. You also need the designer’s permission to use the quilt for a
raffle. Even if the raffle is for charity, it is subject to copyright law. A raffle quilt is usually put on public display to sell
tickets. That requires permission. It is also a commercial endeavor since you are obtaining money for the tickets. Always get permission.
Do all of these answers apply to patterns & quilts seen on a website?
Absolutely! The courts have consistently held that putting something on the internet is no different from publishing it in
print. Unless a website specifically says that you may copy for free, you cannot download or print the material. Another
issue with the internet is people posting photographs on their blog sites. If a photo shows a quilt that is protected by
copyright, the photo is a copy & putting it on the site is publishing. Both require the designer’s permission .
Can I enter a quilt I made from a magazine pattern in a quilt show?
A quilt show is a public display & therefore only the designer can enter the quilt. However, you can ask permission for
the display. If the design came from a contributor to the magazine, the editors will be able to help you contact her, if a
staff member at the magazine created the design, it is a “work made for hire” & the magazine owns or shares the copyright & should be approached for permission.

O’Gare was arrested & sent for trial
for armed bank robbery.
After due deliberation the jury foreman stood up & announced
‘NOT GUILTY’.
“That’s grand”, shouted O’Gare.
“Does that mean I get to keep the
money”.

An Elementary School Teacher had 26 students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st
half of a well-known proverb & asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It’s hard to believe
these were actually done by 1st graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these
are first graders, 6 years olds, because the last one is a classic!
