I spend more time on Pinterest than I do here, which is saying a lot! It's a great way to save quilt pictures and inspirations for quilts. There are thousands of ideas out there - and I'm glad that I used categories, eg 9patch, scrappy, HSTs, from the beginning. Otherwise it would be hard to find the one quilt pic I remember and want to see again. There IS a search engine on the site, and it's very good. You can use it to search your own boards or the entire site. I'm flattered when I come across one of my own quilts or when other quilters repin one of my pics or start following one of my boards.
We bought a new house in AZ just before we returned to CT, and I have a bigger sewing room to organize when we return next week. I've been collecting ideas on Pinterest since April. So much better than having a file with a bunch of loose paper pictures. I'll be making a trip to IKEA soon after we arrive in AZ! It's amazing how many of the sewing rooms on Pinterest have used IKEA pieces. Having pictures to show DH and our handyman is so much better than scribbling my ideas on paper!
Recently, I've decided to make runners, and I've built up a large collection of runner pictures. Pinterest is a great 'tool' for quilters to use - but , like this board, I spend far too much time there!
