I use pinterest to bookmark too. The downside for me is that if the original internet post is removed the picture or the instructions are no longer available. I do try to print the things I think I really will try. I can't afford the ink to print everything I Pin. I don't put anything on the internet including Facebook, Pinterest, QB, ete. that I would be afraid for the whole world to see because literally they may see it.

I have had to use a Google image search many times to find the original source of something I find interesting. If I want to pin something I do it from the original source rather than repinning one someone has already pinned so it will be easier to find. The one's that drive me nuts are pins from Blog's where you can never seem to find the item you are looking for. If I find something on a blog to pin I try to put the date it was posted in the description so someone wanting to read about it can backtrack to the source. I don't pin a lot but it keeps me from having to clutter up my filing cabinet or my hard drive with things I may never use but find visually interesting.

I would sure take it as a compliment if one of my quilts turned up on pinterest! Other people have viewed your quilt as worth remembering and special. YEA! for you. Enjoy your new found fame and recognition.

Oh last night I was googling for pattern ideas. There was my pineapple top with another name on. It us definately mine I recognise the background and my nails. Also I know where the original picture is.
Not bothered as I find it very flattering. I do know this top has caused the original location many questions as to location of pattern.
I'm famous or is that infamous.

Thank you for your input. I will keep that in mind.
I'm having to block Pinterest from searches. I look for a pattern, a Pinterest site comes up and no information about where to buy the pattern. That annoys me no end. I only search when I want to BUY an article.
If you want to link to a pattern picture, then the maker of the pattern should demand that you also post where to buy it or find the info. If it's your own design, say so.
