Is anyone familiar with this info:

Maybe Mickie but not sure she is at
liberty to talk about it.

Wow. Just read about it. I had heard of the purchase of the magazine group
but didn't realize they hadn't been paying their obligations.

What sucks for me is that I subscribed to several of these at the ASG
conference in Albuquerque in July. Wonder if they will honor the
subscription and if I'll ever get my magazines? Or is my money gone?

This totally stinks for Ann.

Sounds like a late-breaking update is that Ann may be getting her money
(after this problem went viral online). And yesterday "Sew News" arrived
which was one of the mags I subscribed to, so maybe I'll get all the issues
I paid for, too.

i will wait to see if she gets her money first.
what happened to Mickie is just another dagger in the heart of all quilters.
i do not understand how any good decent business can act like this towards
the people who by their hard work and creativity are the ones who sell those
magazines. has nothing to do with the pencil pushers in the office.
grrrrrrrrrrrr.

We hear a lot about copyright laws. Do not use the pattern in quilt
shows with permission of the designer, use the designer's name on the
quilt, do not use the patterns for anything other than personal use,
etc.

Isn't this case also a violation of copyright laws.

After all they contacted and duped her.  Bait and switch.  When a
company takes over another company they assume all assets and debts
too, don't  they.  The takeover has re-written the contract without
the consent of the quilt designer.

Sounds like lawsuit time against the company and the individuals that
represented the company.

And this is my opinion.
