Thanks for your support. Wow, I was overwhelmed to see this mentioned here.

It is so obvious this is her work being ILLEGALLY copied. All the lawyers are doing is making themselves look like a bunch of horses backsides well that and stalling the inevitable. Sometimes facing up to your mistakes is easier and cheaper than trying to play out the deception.

That is such a blatant copy of Kimberly’s work. I hate to see things like this happen to designers, I hope she gets justice.

As a frequent shopper of Kimberly Shaw items AND aa avid quilter I am appalled that a reputable fabric manufacturer would be involved in such a blatant theft of art work. I certainly thought Fabri-Quilt was above this and isn’t it time for the lawyers to step up to ethical and honest behavior!
