When we were at Lace Convention there were lots of single page patterns with the Lace Guild logo on the top corner on the 50-50 sales table. I certainly didn't think that they were in breach of copyright. I bought several.

Whether anyone chooses to believe the explanation is not for me to say.

I suppose it would all depend on how many copies of each pattern she's offering. If just a single one, it't possible that she's ripped the page out of the magazine and is selling _that_ Which may be a sacriledge, but not a crime; the patterns had, presumably, been "bought" via the subscription to the Lace Guild. Better that, IMO, than tossing a whole pile of Lace into the nearest trashcan, as some children/grandchildren do with the evidence of their parents' hobbies. If she can make a £2+ profit in the process, more power to her.

If, on the other hand, she's replicating the same pattern over and over...
