I am thoroughly amazed by the quilts and work I see online. I watch this board closely as well as Pinterest.

Both of them have sparked so many ideas I want to try! I have several notes written down from forum people here I want to do....and when I looked at my quilt board on Pinterest, I found I have several HUNDRED pinned on there. Some were merely pinned for color combo effects or stitching tutorials, but many were patterns I fell in love with.

I'll never get that many quilted in my lifetime! LOL

Which is the bigger devil for you.....this forum or Pinterest. Or other?

Just curious!

I find my inspiration mostly here. At least here, you can contact the quilter with any question using our PM email.

I rarely go to Pinterest as I'll be there for hours. LOL

I use Google Image search when I'm looking for quilt inspiration.

Me too - I try to stay away from Pinterest! :0

Another source of inspiration for me is Judi Madsen's blog ( http://www.greenfairyquiltsblog.com/ ). Her stuff is just astounding!!
I also like Lisa Calle's work and rulers ( https://www.lisahcalle.com/ ).

I also had a friend selling alot of quilt stuff - books, fabrics, etc - that was his mom's. I just got about 5 books from him for an amazing price. And while a couple of them are really old for technique (1988 is the oldest), there is still a lot to be inspired by.

And my favorite "thing" for inspiration is Cosmatesque architecture. Ahhh, THAT is inspiration!!!

QuiltingBoard is where I go for information.. I don't go to pinterest too often and when I do I am distracted by gardening and chickens on the site. I do get magazines and have 3- 3in binders with patterns in plastic sleeves.

The bigger devil for me is "ME". I spend way too much time on here and the internet. The QB is a temptation, but I OUGHT to be able to control my response to the temptation. (sometimes I actually do!)

However, I have learned that I rarely go back to look at what I have pinned or bookmarked, so that is under control. But eye candy - fabrics! - can't resist looking! Sometimes I think I only quilt as an excuse to look at fabric and buy it!

Interesting title for this thread - - -

I have yet to figure out how to navigate Pinterest - so the QB is my attention-getter.
