I have already sent multiple emails asking for my product to be removed from this post that encourages copying artists’ work. Perhaps this will get your attention. My permission was NEVER granted to use my item in this post, nor was it given to use my image off my website. I want my cactus embroidery removed from this garbage article immediately. It’s absurd that you are promoting “patterns” for people to copy when they are not patterns – they are individual pieces of artwork for sale from independent artists. Disgraceful.
