Dear Spiders, I am perfectly happy for people who have purchased my Romanian Point Lace book to make any of the items from the patterns. That is the purpose of the book. I expect them to photo-copy the patterns for their own personal use. I would be very unhappy if they sold the finished items and profited from them. I would be even more unhappy if anyone copied my diagrams and used them in another publication.
I was very pleased that Sulachona had made a doily from the lace photo without a drawn pattern. I considered it a compliment in that she had understood the technique by studying the book. Years ago I attended a class on cloth doll making tutored by Anne Dyer. She gave us the patterns as part of the class. I asked her if she minded people reproducing her dolls and she replied, no, if three people see an idea it is in the Public Domain and it would inspire her to produce something else.
