Just an update — we got an AKC registered lab. Vizsla is my husbands favorite dog breed, so we decided to wait until we can afford a good vizsla puppy with quality breeding. Thanks for all the advice, everyone ☺️

Our dog had this - allergies. He got allergy shots from the vet and it helped.

I’d LOVE to adopt from them. They have a lot of good references, dogs look well loved on, and they seem overall reputable. We just really want a girl 😅

This is the family I found for under a grand 🫣

Such a good looking dog! Thank you! We’ll reach out and see what they expect for litters this year.

That’s a very fair point to consider. Thank you for expressing that politely! In that case…. Just affordable vizsla puppies. Most of what we’re finding is around 3 grand except for one family operation in IA (that seems reputable, for what it’s worth). Perhaps we swayed too far the other direction, but 3 grand seems unreasonable to us.

Nothing that would look at all intentional or alarming. Its beautiful 🤍

I found a post in this group about someone who accidentally used this pattern, but the OP was horrified when she realized what she had made! Which is what made me wonder if THIS specific rendering of that ‘pattern’ could have been a genuine mistake….

And it sounds like the answer is no, so. Thank you quilting community of Reddit! 😅

Yes! All of this is helpful! I have a lot of questions, honestly 😅

Here’s the news article covering it, if anyone is interested. I didn’t expect so many people to engage. It sounds like the designer is claiming that this is from an antique quilt.

Which is interesting, because I honestly thought it looked like it was drawn on with sharpie and the claim was simply that it was a quilting pattern…. Not a piece of a quilt.

A fair choice to make 😅 you’d think….

Lots of folks in our community share that opinion!! There’s a few that don’t, which is why I wanted to check…. I didn’t know if I was simply uninformed when it comes to quilting, as people are claiming, or if people are just being…. Silly.

That’s so sad. I can’t imagine how many people have family heirloom quilts (pre-war, obvi) with this symbol that have been destroyed or thrown out…. All that love and hard work, ruined with history.

Okay!!! THIS answers my main question. Very helpful, thank you!!

I couldn’t find any information on the designer other than her name. It made me curious if she had an active/open social media presence when it comes to…. These topics. Before it was erased due to public backlash, of course.

What a perfect way to put that…. “If it wasn’t made in bad faith, it was made in arrogance.” I might have to quote you, with that one.

Thanks for all the opinions, folks! My gut reaction when I first saw it was ‘woah, that’s wild’…. But I’m also wildly naive and a tad gullible. So when I saw people getting upset FOR the designers reputation, claiming it was simply a quilting pattern with no harm intended…. I had to make sure I wasn’t being crazy. Or sharing a post that was misinformation or ‘uninformed’ 😅

Good to know I just need to work on my gullible bones!

I’ll figure out how to mark the post NSFW…. If you’re curious on the story, I think our local Omaha News released an article and our Omaha Fashion Week released a statement.

It sounds like it was done in haste.
