I've collected a few little tidbits for my friends who love working from charts. First up, Scarlet Thread has photos of the newest Laura J. Perin chart which is called One Long Panel for obvious reasons. I'm posting this for the Spinster Stitcher in particular who reads Blog and is a collector of Perin pieces. Click on the photo for a better view. Sara Leigh promises to post photos of all the threads for each colorway shortly in case you want to see the possibilities Laura has listed for you.

I also found a free download of a beautiful traditional sampler which some of you may be interested in, particularly if you are trapped at home due to the really hot weather.

The last thing is just plain sickening. Ever wonder how much money chart copying thieves are stealing from designers?

Jane...the last entry about theft is just too appalling....this business needs some serious looking at , and a need to protect the original designs, not matter if painted or charted...I have been in this business since 1972 and to see the trade abuses just makes me want to drive a cab...great informing people !
Shocking, isn't it?
Besides stealing painted canvas designs and charts, there are people who klep blog post information and use it as their own. I caught one planning to sell a collection of my patterns, and was soliciting people to stitch them for illustrations.
Judy, nothing would surprise me anymore when it comes to thieves stealing original content of any kind. There is a games site that uses some sort of automated program to steals posts from other blogs and reposts them as their own information. That's one reason I include a footer statement inside my blog posts. It is discouraging but I do see folks labeling these people as thieves publicly which seems to help.
