Hello to everyone Today we need to talk about our Into the Wild Block of the Month.... As you know we were going to make birds with a Charley Harper influence to them. Well..... Bad news..... I woke up Saturday to an email from the Charley Harper Art Studio saying that a concerned collector saw our blocks and 'told on us' and now we cannot make our quilt anymore... The bird images where we took the inspiration from are licenced to someone or other who will be miffed. At first I felt really upset because I didn't go and make exact copies of his work and flog it as if it were my own, I just wanted some of the Charley Harper look that we all love so much to come through in our blocks which was communicated as such from the start, but I thought about it and decided its all good and we won't make any blocks with another artists look or feel anymore. Not a problem. So what now.... We make different blocks - still with birds.... Soooo sorry to the concerned collector who was worried I might make money off a few quilt blocks. If you have already made the first 3 using the old patterns then by all means carry on with them. You did receive them for free and you've sewn them up, so they're good. Please don't send your friends copies of those patterns - we need to respect the CH Art Studio wishes too. I have removed all my blocks from Craftsy that were the Into the Wild BOM theme and replaced the March block with a different Woodpecker. The pattern still measures 16" (42cm) I'm also only going to give the one colour option for the blocks but not add the colour codes to the pattern so you will still be able to make your 'Brights' colour blocks if you like. It just makes the PDF too big. You can get your FREE for March block of the month HERE ....<<<<<<< The January and February BOM blocks are also done but I just need to finish them up. They are also still the Vireo and the Nuthatch birds but are now done with the Janeen van Niekerk art style. These blocks will be done from photographs and drawing that I have and made and combined together. I like the round purple flowers I added to the first block, so I'm also going to be carrying that through on the blocks. I can't remember what they're called but they make these huge purple balls that are actually a cluster of smaller purple flowers.... if anyone knows what I mean.... To anyone concerned about the blocks.................If you would like to see the photo and the initial drawings of my work on these blocks I have a file I'm willing to show to prove this is not a copy of any other artists work................. Have a great Monday.... ********************************* Quick link to my full Craftsy Shop <<<<< (when you open the shop.... click on the right side 'sort by tab' and press NEWEST.... then everything will show up) My Paypal Acc: PayPal.Me/QuiltArtDesigns FaceBook: www.facebook.com/QuiltArtDesigns Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/qadesigns
