As a professional quilter it is nice to have credit to my part in the quilt too, because we all know a quilt is not a quilt until it's quilted. I see comments like "back from the quilter".....what quilter?!Leeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17616599642690765779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604403499576985528.post-27585845168101092902018-11-17T17:34:28.500+13:002018-11-17T17:34:28.500+13:00Well addressed Charlotte.

I know I have been guilty of oversights and discussions like these help us to all be more thoughtful in our actions. The difficulty in tracking down a maker or designer can be really frustrating when you come across a design you enjoy. <br />One other issue to debate is what is copyrightable when creating a design using traditional blocks. The blocks are in the public domain, but the designer has put time and effort into the fabric selection, the scale and often issues such as "no waste" flying geese...acknowledging the source not only gives credit but also introduces that designer to a broader audience.the dragonfly whispererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00065422344303424458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604403499576985528.post-66534977747185342342018-11-17T13:08:46.258+13:002018-11-17T13:08:46.258+13:00Excellent post and very kindly written with good e...Excellent post and very kindly written with good examples of how easy it is. I do exactly what you suggest - photo of the quilt, detail of the quilt, photo of the label. I mostly don't take the time to share quilts on social media, but if I do, I include the maker and name the of the quilt. I have had problems with people stealing images from my site and sharing without attribution. I followed up on every link I could find and asked people to take the photo down. It was a hassle and annoying because the person had deliberately cropped the watermark. ERGH!

When the photos were printed they were put in an album with all information transferred. These days I photograph both quilt and label. I do not share any of these photos online.<br /> thetravellingnunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13313493733107974700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604403499576985528.post-75036131512208296362018-11-17T09:06:03.242+13:002018-11-17T09:06:03.242+13:00Agree with you 100% - the maker should always be n...Agree with you 100% - the maker should always be named when sharing an image.

And thanks for the links. Additionally, my biggest problem with pinterest is there are often no links to the actual source of a photo.Raewynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11123089629481933099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7604403499576985528.post-67296714892963367922018-11-16T22:53:19.808+13:002018-11-16T22:53:19.808+13:00Excellent post Charlotte.

Taking a second photo of the quilt details should be the accepted norm now. Just remember to post both photos when you share the quilt online.
