Thanks for sharing. I've often gone and been all over the place looking for a source. Often bass ackwards!

I totally agree with you Nammie to 7. I don't like it either.

And, a lot of times you click on something you'd like to see and it takes you to hundreds of other pins and the one you are looking for is not there.

I love Pinterest! I have over 7,000 followers on my "quilt ideas" board alone. I usually only pin quilts that have free patterns, but occasionally pin quilts that I describe as "inspiration". A previous member stated the correct way to find the origin of the pattern--"visit site". Occasionally when visiting the site it might be a challenge to find the pinned pattern (usually,when visiting site it should go directly to the pinned item). I have had "pinners" comment to me that they can't find the pattern---then I do a more detailed search myself and post a comment on exact location of the pinned item. Don't give up on Pinterest! It is such a great "idea" source!

Love love love Pinterest. It has greatly expanded my bucket list and has become the first place I check for quilt designs, color inspiration. It's greatly enhanced my recipe collection too.

Pinterest is for posting pictures not patterns so if you find the pattern info for a item there, it's a bonus.

Pinterest annoys me for the same reason, sometimes I click link after link and never do find a pattern, just more pins!

Instead of saving a photo to your computer and going through all those steps you can often just right click it and select "Search Google for This Image" when it finds similar images it will have the site listed where they are found.
