Penny Linn Hit by Copyright Theft

Penny Linn has just announced via Instagram that she's been hit for a while by a copycat of her acrylic pieces.  The video explains in detail the timeline of her creation of her acrylic line and how it has been copied and sold to her customers.  Since her copyright has just been granted by the U.S. Patents Office, I imagine a lawsuit is in the works.

In support of Penny Linn, I have removed all mentions of "Company M" from Blog.  If you notice non-Penny Linn magnetic acrylics for sale, please take screen shots and send them to Penny Linn so she can contact the store involved since they are also liable in a court of law.

Acrylic Self Finishing Takes the Needlepoint World by Storm

If you haven't been paying a lot of attention to the world of needlepoint, you might have missed all the acrylic boxes, purses, trays and more available for those with finished needlepoint to insert inside them.  Stitch by Stitch Larchmont has posted a lovely long article about all the various things that are available (and naturally they have canvases that will work with each.)

The two new items they carry I haven't seen before are tic-tac-toe boxes...

...and matchbox holders with canvases of various famous restaurant or hotels.  Both appear to be bundles of the acrylic and matching canvas that will fit in it.

Of course many many shops carry acrylic items these days and many have access to acrylic manufacturers who will make custom items.  Ask your favorite shop for ideas and help.
