| Was just at my LQS and they had on display a pot holder shaped like a cupcake. It was made in 2 pieces - the cake part and the frosting part, then sewed together. It was the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. I asked if they had a pattern, but they didn't, and when I asked if I could buy the demo, she said it belonged to someone else. Has anyone seen this, know where I can buy the pattern? I would love to make some for Christmas gifts.
TIA Barbara |

| I have the pattern. I can mail if you like. Frances |

| Fran66 - thank you so much for your kind offer, but I've already ordered it. Have you made very many of the pot holders? |

| Haven't made it yet. I bought several patterns at Fonthill, Ontario. CA. called The Quilting Bee series. I'm baking up a storm for a bake sale next week at a Nursing Home. |

| Frances, What kinds of patterns did you find - are they all dealing with baking..like the cupcakes..I'm looking for things like that and haven't been able to find anything around here - if you could let me know where I could find the patterns it would be great...you can always email me at billshomedecor@hotmail.com Bill |

I am not The Quilt Police and I really did hesitate to post this because I know the reaction I may get, but the first page of our quilt forum asks us not to share patterns.  I don't think there's anything wrong with seeing a design and trying to duplicate it, but if you need to use a pattern then just buy it. Somebody took the time to design and market it; they should get the benefit of the sale. I don't mean to offend anyone with this. I understand that sometimes we get caught up in the enthusiasm of finding a pattern we like and share, just like we share bits of fabric and advice. But let's respect the quilter who designed the pattern. Kate |

| Don't feel bad about what you posted, Kate. I almost posted the same thing. Kylie, if you are new to the forum, I hope you don't feel bad either. You may have just been excited by seeing a pattern you liked and not thought about the pattern being something with a copyright. The cupcake patterns are very cute! Jeanne |

| Don't feel bad any of you. But it's true - we need to respect pattern makers. It's their livelihood. If I can look at something, think it through, and make it or something similar without a pattern, I will. And it's OK to buy used patterns at garage sales or GoodWill. But it isn't OK to photocopy or scan and email a pattern. |

| Kylie has no home page - pretty sure this is not a legit member or post. |

| Good catch Magothy!!! Yes, pls. nobody feel bad, if this were our copyright we'd want it honored right? Let me rephrase that -- if it were mine I'd want it honored. I'd also remember that there can be legal consequences for not doing so. |

| Can anyone PLEASE help me.... I did buy this cupcake potholder. I am doing my 1st one and trying to turn it where is says to leave open, well, I am finding that impossible to do. If anyone has done this potholder, can you please advise me as how to turn it? I even thought I'd leave the bottom open instead and a bigger opening. Still too hard to turn. Maybe there is some trick to it that I don't know. Thanks in advance. |

| Frances, I live near the Quilting Bee and go there too! They have tons of fabric and tons of patterns! |
|
| Evymero - I see you just joined GardenWeb today. Welcome to the forum! I haven't done this pattern, but I find that for any small thing I have to turn, a chopstick works great to push out and shape it. Just get one little bit turned and slowly work it with the chopstick. Don't rush it, but be persistent. |
