I ...Thank you for sharing the history of the ruler.<br />I am visiting your country from New Zealand and went into Quiltworks Northwest, Bellevue, WA and was thrilled to see not only your special ruler but all of your patterns on display as well.<br />They told me you had taught there and were a 'local'.<br />It would have been lovely to have met you.<br />My sister Linda has made one of your quilt patterns and we have more fabric in store to make the Urban 9 Patch when I go home.<br />I bought a second one of your rulers while in the shop - thank you for taking the time and effort to create something totally different.crazyquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05254457962460331689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117112529482253610.post-49890004540054379932012-11-22T06:02:56.835-08:002012-11-22T06:02:56.835-08:00Congratulations on creating a great product and pa...Congratulations on creating a great product and patterns.

You are the original and have great atterns to use with it ... funny how this is the second time someone thought it was okay to take your idea and claim as their own.

I'm so ashamed! Someone was demoing it at the AQS show in Des moines and I got all excited thinking it was your ruler- I had to have it! And as I was checking out I mentioned to the gal that I'd seen it on the internet, she looked at me like I had 3 heads and said that no, this ruler was so new it wasnt even on her website yet! Anyway, yours is actually better than the one i got, and your free patterns that come with it are much, much cooler too. So I feel pretty guilty doing your QAL with someone else's ruler :( But i think i did convince my friend to get yours instead so I hope that evens things out! <br /><br />Have a great Thanksgiving Jenny!<br />Down to Sewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380518892532795786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117112529482253610.post-58857748859275904542012-11-21T19:56:59.778-08:002012-11-21T19:56:59.778-08:00You should be quite proud of all you've accomp...You should be quite proud of all you've accomplished!<br />happy thanksgiving to you and your family!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575475759307565778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117112529482253610.post-52879309998323089222012-11-21T19:26:19.947-08:002012-11-21T19:26:19.947-08:00I am so glad you are handling the copy of your rul...I am so glad you are handling the copy of your ruler with the disdain it deserves!

If it wasn't such a great tool, no one would try to copy it. You can know that you were first, and I am glad that through blogs, I know you. Your ruler, pattern, and quilting are inspiring to us all, and I thank you. Your creative edge will keep us all on our toes, and give us something to aim for. Thank you for sharing all you do on your blog.

I...What you have done and accomplished is amazing. I admire your tenacity and gumption so much. Truly. I'm just so happy you have had so much success. You keep it up. Their imitation is the best form of flattery. Too bad they don't just try to hire you or buy out your idea instead of copy you. :-)<br /><br />I was once at a trunk show Edyta Sitar did here in Michigan in her hometown. She was talking about how some of her "girls" (locals who have always been supportive of her) will find a pattern or some other sort of imitation of her work. The "girls" will let her know and be so upset that someone is "stealing" her ideas. Edyta said something like this: You know, I don't care that they do that. If that's where they are in their creativity process, and they need that from me, then I am happy to provide it for them. I have so many ideas in my head, I am already so far past that pattern by now, it doesn't matter to me. I have other things I want to do and get out there.<br /><br />I thought that was about the coolest thing I have ever heard. I already adored her, and after that, I did even more. My respect for her is huge. I have really taken what she said to heart in my own life. I think it's a good way to look at the world. Maybe it will be meaningful to you, too.<br /><br />You will always have my support, respect, and admiration for your talent and ideas.

It will be a class starting in December at my LQS. It does take a lot of bravery to create something and put it out there for the public to comment on and even copy. You should be proud! I think that all of the patterns you have for your ruler are a huge selling point for it and the reason I purchased it. ALSO, you can easily cut a curve with it through multiple layers of fabric, which isn't true of some of the others.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13665481715449959495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117112529482253610.post-85579912912048686002012-11-21T15:55:16.990-08:002012-11-21T15:55:16.990-08:00What you have been able to accomplish is tremendou...What you have been able to accomplish is tremendous Jenny!

You are the one with the creativity and tenacity to develop it and market it. Many of us out here in bloglad were born at night, but not last night! We know who came first. There are copy catters everywhere and people know who is the original and who is the copy. Congratulations on your success.
