do you PINterest? OR

Not sure I understand what you are asking- You do realize that anything posted on the internet is viewable to the world. If you click on the pics they will bring you back to the Quilt board- so PINterest is NOT claiming they made the quilts, NOT claiming it as their own work- they are just giving more exposure for quilts that have already been posted on the internet.
I personally don't use that site because when I went to sign up they wanted "permission" to access my address book and there was no way I was allowing that.

Very good point! And we do it all the time. If quilt shows did not allow us to take photos of our favorite quilts, we would probably be upset. I almost always ask someone at the show first if it is OK to take photos. So as someone else said, privacy is not what it used to be. If it's on the web, it's out there for all to see .... and maybe even re-post somewhere else whether they give credit to the origin or not. I personally love Pinterest. I have a ton of recipes saved along with garden stuff and quilts and sewing and etc. I would say as others have, if you don't want "it" going out to the world, don't put it on the "world wide web". If people are going to rob from banks and stores and such, they certainly are going to hesitate to steal "stuff" from the web. Sad but true. We just need to be careful.

My friends and I play around with it, as a matter of fact Keepsake Quilting, Fons and Porter, and McCall's Quilting are on it, you can follow them or you can "Re-pin" to your own board. It says when you "Re-Pin" where it originates from. You basically create boards of things that you find interesting that you can share with your friends. More and more companies are using this as a marketing tool, just like saying go to FB and hit the "Like" button.
