I am still in awe that my little quilt won I prize! When I received Amy’s email I first thought that I had won a random prize. When I realized my quilt had won the Scrappy Quilt Category, I was so happy that I giggled and danced around the house like a mad woman (o;

ReplyDeleteI loved your Elmer quilt. I sell Kaffe Fassett fabrics and would like to make this quilt and sell fabric for others to make it. I would credit you with the idea. May I have your permission? lori.allison@hotmail.com Thank you in advance.
ReplyDeleteI answered Lori by email but thought that my answer could be helpful for others, too. So here's what I wrote to her:
Delete"[...] You are very welcome to copy my idea. I personally don't have any objections whatsoever. I just want to state that the original design of "Elmer" was David McKee's work. He (or his publisher) probably owns all copyrights. I am therefore not sure if it would be o.k. to turn this Elmer Quilt into a "pattern for sale". That is to say, if you want to earn money by selling an "Elmer Quilt Pattern" you should probably ask the author's permission.
I am however no expert regarding this topic. I am happy and honoured that my little idea inspired others to make a similar quilt. Feel free to make your own, please just make sure you respect the author's rights :o) [...]"
As a former librarian I have had your "Elmer" creation bookmarked for about a year - just waiting for a reason to ask permission to use your idea. Now that I have my first grandchild on the way I was looking for a way to contact you.
ReplyDeleteI am NOT AT ALL surprised to find that your quilt won this award!
If I were to use your design it would be for one quilt for personal use.
Thank you very much for your kind words. As I couldn't reach you directly, I try to get back to you this way. You are very welcome to make an (or several) Elmer quilt(s) for your grandchild (may there be more to come!). I would love to see what you come up with, how your interpretation of an Elmer Quilt will look like. Have fun and congrats to the grandma-to-be!
