I use Pinterest to pin things that I like in different categories and have them all in one central location (which is the point of Pinterest, basically). All of you that post on Quilting Board know that it is a public forum, which is why we always say things like don't put up your address and personal info. because anyone can see it and make use of it. If you don't want someone to pin your quilt or runner or whatever because they like it, then don't post it. I can't tell you how many times I have gone to "google" or other search engines looking for a pattern, or a tutorial or an answer for a question and how many times it directs to a post right here on the quilting board...that is no different....and it's also no different that someone on here "bookmarking" and saving the item that you have shown....just my opinion....
