Because quilting is not enough of an addiction, we at Quilter's Way have become big fans of Pinterest. We're finding, though, that many of our customers don't know what Pinterest is, so I'm going to take a few minutes and tell you all about the wonders that are Pinterest.

Pinterest is a virtual cork board where people from all over the world can share pictures of things they found on the Internet that interest them. As a Pinterest member, you have different Boards, which are essentially categories where you can post "pins," or the pictures of what you have pinned. You can download a widget on your toolbar that allows you to pin from any website. So, as you surf the web, you can collect inspiration in one place for later viewing.

You can also go to Pinterest, though, and follow other members--your friends or people who seem to have similar interests. You can also just check out any category to see what people are pinning related to that. It really is a giant inspiration board. Be careful, though, once you get started, you can't stop!

Quilter's Way has a Pinterest board. We're collecting pins on boards of topics that probably wouldn't surprise you much--color and design, quilts, quilt blocks, quilting, sewing, and crafting. We also, though, have a fun board right now that we think you might really enjoy checking out. There has been a wave of Ryan Gosling "Hey, Girl" photographs popping up all over the web for a few months now. They take many different forms, but they always have Ryan Gosling offering to do something surprising to please the female reader. Our Ryan Gosling board has a collection of some of our favorite sewing and quilting-related "Hey, Girls." In honor of the debut of our new Kit Designer, I created two Quilter's Way Kit Designer-Specific "Hey, Girls." Enjoy!

Now go sign up for Pinterest (and be sure to follow Quilter's Way!). You'll thank us (or hate us) for it!
