I really don't spend much time on this website, but when I do, the hours could fly away!
I LOVE visiting pages of other quilters, and getting a sense of their own personal style. Then when I hit someone with a style similar to mine, an hour or two disappears...
Good thing I don't check in often!
Anybody else a fan?
Yes, I have been guilty of that. I have been spending way too much time on the computer and not enough at my sewing machine. I have soo many pictures that I have copied thinking I will draw them out on graph paper and make them. Ha! I do plan on spending more time in my sewing room though.
Guilty, too! I have to remind myself how long I am on the site!
I'm a HUGE fan of Pinterest. I could lose a whole day there easily. I like to type in certain quilt patterns and see what comes up.
Pinterest is a bigger black hole than this place is!!! I try to avoid it all costs....
I love pinterest. I've used it to organize different things I do so it actually saves me time now rather than eating time like it did when I first started on it.
I try to limit my time on Pinterest or I'd spend way too much time there!
I like pinterest a lot :)
I'm guilty too. Not much for quilting ideas yet as I'm a beginner, but I spend waaay too much time looking for ideas on the other creative stuff that I do.
Just popped over here after browsing Pintrest. I've been looking up English Paper Piecing. And how to make Sonic's Cherry Limeade. You can find anything on that site.
How I use pinterest..........
I purchase precuts sometimes without a great plan, I just love the fabrics! I have so many lovely quilts in my memory banks that Jenny has a tutorial on but my ability to remember, or visualize them with their name is lacking. I'm visual so I put together from my Pinterest boards a couple of shared Pinterest boards in the following groups.
-:- Charm Pack Tutorials -:-
-:- Jelly Roll Tutorials -:-
-:- Layer Cake Quilt Tutorials -:-
-:- Quilting Tutorials Using Templates-:-
-:--:-The BLOCK Tutorials-:--:-
-:- Quilting Misc Projects Tutorials -:-
These are shared boards so you can add to them. I got them started but there are so many tutorials that I know I've missed. You are welcome to comment to the pins and I'll add you to the boards and you can pin to the boards. Between us all we can see them in a glance for those of us that like to see pictures.
Happy Pinning

Do I like Pinterest? Yes and No. Like others once there I spend much too much time there browsing and saving photos of quilts and ideas that I like but I do hate that if I don't sign in they cover half the page. Sometimes I get myself lost because I've clicked on too many new pages and lost the item I originally was looking for.
The worst is when I wake up to check my email there's .. new pins for you. I have found lot's of great cooking blogs. Since I don't eat meat it's fun to to find those sites with like minds.
