In the past, her lawyers have contacted individuals making items out of her fabric and selling those items telling them that they could not. That changed to them saying that they were limited in how many items they could sell using her fabrics in a year. And that itself finally changed to a complete acceptance of the fact that people make things out of fabric and sometimes they sell it. That acceptance is a complete change from her stance and her actions just a few years ago. My statement of her hypocrisy comes from her attempt to protect her perceived artistic work while at the same time selling vintage fabric patterns under her name with only the colorway and possibly the scale changed. In other fields, it would be called copying or plagiarism, but I am under the impression that it is standard/not uncommon in fabric design. I hope this clarifies what I mean. Amy Butler has not historically been a friend to indie designers/crafters, and as the saying goes "with friends like her, who needs enemies?" Julia Hi Grace:
