Here's a link to my quilting board, "Quilty Goodness", on Pinterest. Maybe you'll see one of your quilts there!

I also have knitting and crochet boards, if you are interested. You might find something you want to make! Pinterest is wonderful!

Fun quilts you've pinned, I will follow it! Here is a link to my boards: http://pinterest.com/sallyjwalker/boards/

I am more than honored when I find one of my quilts pinned on Pinterest. I usually can't help myself, and make a comment, at least to say "thank you", and of course I always "like" the pin ...tee hee

I was definitely honored, but I guess I never really thought about someone not liking it. I checked your pins out and what beautiful quilts. Fun way to pass the time just looking at quilts.

Maybe I just haven't run into the problem you're talking about. Even if I repin from the most current pinner, I still have to click all the way through to get to the original info, tutorial, or pattern. I usually do pin from the original, but I have repinned from others. If it's just a photo with no info, I can't see that it matters. In fact, I think I always pin tutorials rarely if ever do I pin a plain photo.

I enjoy Pinterest and I try to credit the origin if I know it. Sometimes, things have been repinned so many times, the origin gets lost in the shuffle. So if I have ever pinned something from someone on this board and not given correct credit, please let me know and I'll fix it right away!
