Deck the Stalls Christmas Stocking pattern - discontinued

[Ronnie]

• I am searching for a Christmas stocking cross stitch pattern for a stocking called Deck the Stalls. It shows horses in a stall and dogs in front of the stall. I am about to become a grandmother and my daughter in law is a horsewoman. I would like to do this stocking for my grandchild. It is a discontinued pattern from JCA Needleworks - a company that is not longer in business. It was cross stitch kit with the stock number of #02951. I only need the pattern, not the kit. I am willing to purchase a used pattern or trade for a pattern I have. Can anyone help me? Thanks for any help!!

The entire pattern is on Pinterest if you google it. I can't find the "code" yet but I found the pattern

That would be a breach of copyright, I think (could moderators comment?). Even if the pattern is out of print it is still in copyright.

I am pretty sure you are right on that Mabel!! Serinde??

I think so too. I'm usually nervous when a pattern shows up on one of the social media sites that doesn't belong to the copyright owner or hasn't been given express permission from the owner to be there.

I'm afraid that is correct. As benighted as it seems, it might be out of print, but that doesn't mean it's out of copyright. You can buy a design (not photocopied) from someone online (Etsy, for example), you could borrow or be gifted the whole design from someone here. No problem. Download it from Pinterest... dollars to doughnuts, it's a copy, and that's not legal.

Pinterest is a great site for mooching about in, getting ideas, and all that sort of thing. But boy, you have to be careful: it has a difficult reputation for copyright.
