Pinterest is for PICTURES which may or may not lead to patterns. Some pictures merely serve as inspiration.
I love Pinterest! I didn't 'get it' for the longest time, but once I did I LOVED it! Instead of keeping long lists of bookmarks, you can have picture bookmarks to look through, and organize them any way you want to, in boards. It's so helpful and if my computer crashes, I can find things again by logging in to my Pinterest acct. It's a great place to keep your patterns, recipes, and ideas. For those who don't 'get it' yet, I invite you to look at some of my quilting boards on Pinterest. To go to the source of the 'pin', click on it once, and when a new window opens, click on "visit site". Hit the back button to go back to the Pinterest page:
