Unfortunately the freedom of the net has its dark side. I hope this hasn't discouraged you.<br />Blue wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03267009143609637419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1030296339816313369.post-41511716608106314672011-03-21T22:00:42.486-04:002011-03-21T22:00:42.486-04:00Hi Helen,

Anyhow I googled "orange you lucky fabric" and came across this post, I am so bummed that it is an obvious rip off, rather than a licensed design. <br /><br />This must be so upsetting for you. BTW I love you work and would love it if you released a fabric range.Rachelhttp://www.thetwowindmills.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1030296339816313369.post-84019813604173022412011-03-17T18:42:59.627-04:002011-03-17T18:42:59.627-04:00more pattern theft:
