Hello!

My first time on this board :T.

I am hoping that someone will be able to help me.

I have the Country Companions Watch the Birdie K594 WHS - BUT have lost the pattern!

So just wondering if anyone else might have a copy they could scan to me?

I have scanned the picture but can't for the life of me remember how to put into my post!

Many thanks

As for your comment about 'sharing between friends', that's not exactly relevant here yet is it? You've appeared in our forum and the first thing you've said is that you want us to send you charts because you don't like the idea of paying the asking price for them. The second thing you've said is that you object to our refusal. So far I'm not seeing any friendship.
You will see some swapping of charts in past threads/pages, some of that was illegal and no longer happens, some of it is people taking a risk for a friend. Either way, it doesn't give you a right to demand free charts.
Someone may contact you by PM and offer these charts to you (because we're nice people really). If they do then they are breaking the law to do you a favour and should be profusely thanked. If they don't then you still don't have any right to ask again until you have made friends with us all.

Firstly, I should say that all of us are very proud and fond of our cross stitch community and we will not do anything to jeopardise it. Anyone asking for copies of charts be they from a magazine or from a kit we might be stitching will be given short shrift and a simple answer NO!

Please do not be offended by this post. Copyright laws are there for a reason and we will not entertain requests that may breach them.

Copyright
Unauthorised reproduction of this magazine, in whole or part, is prohibited without written permission of the publisher. Not to be resold, lent or hired out for more than the recommended retail price or in part. Readers may photocopy charts, mail order coupons and competition entry forms provided copies are for personal use only. Readers may sell one or two stitches designs from 365 Cross Stitch Designs as long as they do not go into mass production.

Here here Flat_Eric and Elliep.

My Cross Stitch Gold says exactly what your mag says Flat_Eric.

These posts reminded me of an article in a recent WOXS which I've just dug out of my stash. It was in issue 194 and it says;

• Copying a magazine or free kit chart is fine for your own use.
• The magazine is happy for you to pass on a copy of a design from the magazine, providing you are not going to stitch that design yourself.
• It's OK to sell your magazine provided you do not copy any of the pages to keep. Selling scans and photocopies breaches copyright and is unacceptable.
• The magazine is happy for you to stitch and sell finished items provided it is on a small scale, for example for charity.

There's more info in the article, I can post it all if people are interested. It seems they see each chart as a one use item and if you are not going to use it, it's fine to pass it on, whether for free or not. Who can ever be sure if they will not stitch a design though? Or if the person they are buying from has copied the chart for themselves?



Also their small print says that charts may be copied for personal use only and that no part of the magazine may be resold without permission! Anyone else confused yet?:rotfl:


Seems it's safest not to copy anything. And if people are asking rediculous money for charts on eBay, remember you can order back issues from the publishers

In summary - we might be able to help you find it cheaper - but nothing in life is free

Might be worth contacting whoever made the kit? I lost half a chart for a kit made by coats crafts and they very kindly sent me the missing page.

I was going to suggest that. Especially if you have a photo to send them of the part stitched kit. I believe DMC make the CC kits. Worth a try.

Sorry some of you guys haven't received your cross stitch heaven orders. I ordered fabric and a aperture card, it was posted on Thursday, arrived on Monday (2nd class). Hope its just a stock issue with us all buying stuff :rotfl:

Loving everyones updates, there are so many great projects on the go, some i would never even look at without this thread

Oh i forgot to mention, Tikaani had another seizure last saturday morning, she recovered again a few hours later. I read online that it can be food related etc so we've changed that and are really hoping that its just a puppy thing. On the plus side she and our blind dog maxie have bonded so much, we call maxie "big puppy" now as she is constantly trying to play with Tikaani, they also slept in the same bed even though it was a bit of a squeeze :rotfl:

FOS. Love the newly framed piece, it's beautiful. I can't say anything bad about the piece you gave away though as I have it in my stash to stitch

Thanks I still like the Bloomers piece and it was a very enjoyable stitch = although quite big it seemed to grow quickly because I did each day at a time and it felt like an achievement each time I completed a day. I even did the backstitch on each "bloomer" as I went along otherwise I would never been able to face all the backstitch at the end. Maybe you should bring yours out of your stash and into the to do pile :D It would make a great 10 11 12 to 11 12 13 project
