    I love your Butterfly Quilt and always have. I am glad that I discovered that you were the original creator of this quilt a few months back, but annoyed for you that a fellow ‘Aussie’ would portray it as their design. I no longer visit that blog or Etsy store.
    All the best to you both for 2013.
