I am sure that is a glorious feeling.Preetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363550140143647850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623537535040275982.post-79723886550957039692018-11-03T10:45:06.408-07:002018-11-03T10:45:06.408-07:00PS - I just clicked through to your Craftsy patter...PS - I just clicked through to your Craftsy patterns.

I love following her and have several of her patterns for sale in my shop. It is great to truly understand the what happens in the background so we can see how designers need to be supported! I have bought many patterns and unfortunately haven't made all of them - but I love having them available when I am trying to decide what to make next.Bernie Kringelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753481379287809548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623537535040275982.post-6387827236100728042018-10-30T17:43:42.150-07:002018-10-30T17:43:42.150-07:00It was a great read.

As you know, producing a clear, accurate, well-written pattern involves so much more than just making a quilt. I definitely appreciate everyone who buys my patterns instead of reverse engineering them from a picture, and I return the favour when I see something I want to make. I can't understand those who will spend hundreds on fabric for a quilt but balk at the small price of the pattern.canuckquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804830507722535614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623537535040275982.post-87329503270159221382018-10-28T11:13:08.278-07:002018-10-28T11:13:08.278-07:00I think it's good to be reminded, or to learn,...I think it's good to be reminded, or to learn, what goes into the whole process. It's easy to think it's just whip up the pattern and make money. If only it were that easy. I thought her article was well written and thoughful, while not being harsh. I appreciate all of you who design quilt patterns. I may design a few, but I don't sell them, yet. It interests me to hear about the process behind the scenes, because it makes me more aware while I'm learning the design process. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Cindy. piecefulwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256164519304112032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623537535040275982.post-47333072878511869992018-10-28T08:27:55.814-07:002018-10-28T08:27:55.814-07:00It was a well written post.

The only thing really missing from Kirsty's post is the connection between the two areas she discusses: she actually needs to sell more than she mentions to make a living wage because of all the fees and taxes to end up with the living wage.Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705160384198590025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623537535040275982.post-86388178177773847732018-10-28T07:48:33.650-07:002018-10-28T07:48:33.650-07:00Omg something has happened and I can comment on yo...Omg something has happened and I can comment on your post!! Fingers crossed whatever it was has righted itself and this time I did nothing! Thanks for the feature Cindy! I wish I had a dollar for every one of the 1500+ (yep two zeros) times my free patterns have been downloaded as compared to the two for sale lol. Very true, everything you’ve said and I feel strongly about supporting independent designers and not stealing because that is what it is. I’m off to read Kirsty’s post!
