Here is some general information from a friend at needleworkdesigners@gmail.com or you can visit Merry at her site: http://ishsuth.wordpress.com/
It is important to remember that most of us are small in scale but big in heart. We spend hours upon hours creating things that bring us enjoyment that we love sharing with others. When you copy something without permission or don’t take the time to properly give credit where credit is due…you hurt us. Not only with the meager income (if any) that most of us are getting, but in our desire to do this for all of you out there.
So take the time and consider that what may seem harmless…essentially could be contributing to copyright infringement, which is against the law.

AND….let me add this…I also feel as designers it is important to charge FAIR prices for our products. Enough said I do believe.
