I would be livid too. I just had someone rip off my Swirled Christmas Tree design and am in the process of trying to figure out how to stop them. The internet lets people hide behind anonymity and it's really scary as a designer!

I have heard of it happening but not so blatantly!<br />I hope Moda backs their designers as these people are indeed breaking the legal law and the moral one.<br />BTW saw you Porthole Quilt on Pinterest. Awesome.

Where I think they shoot themselves in the foot with this plan is that it shows that they were intending to copy but make enough changes to be able to say "oh no, it's my own design/it's an interpretation". Arsehats!!<br />I hope that you absolutely go for the throat!! This is completely unacceptable & I hope Moda will offer more than support, maybe a legal team??<br />If you need us to storm someone with emails, let us know.<br />Or if you want to just rant then move on & chalk it up to experience, that's good too.<br />Much love<br />Lush<br />Worthing, UKdiegoagogohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802109001764598138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148779879513233744.post-23336565974678659672013-10-01T13:32:44.729+01:002013-10-01T13:32:44.729+01:00I'd say that IS a direct copy of your work.

This has happened a lot in the world of illustration the likes of Hidenseek just wasn't able to take on Paperchase when one of their designs was spookily similar to her work. Maybe it's flattering when it's an individual doing something just for themselves but once it turns commercial it's just out and out theft.

Since Lecien have the same target market as Moda I find this a bit brazen!
