I love looking around on Pinterest. There are so many wonderful things to see. But
there's a problem with Pinterest. If you "graze" around there, too, you probably already
know what I'm about to tell you. Pictures don't always link back to the original source.
This gorgeous patriotic quilt is just such an example. I am smitten with this quilt.
I love everything about it...the colors, the theme, the applique' work. Everything!
And after going back as far as I was able through Pinterest, I then "Googled",
"Binged" and "Yahooed" in an attempt to learn more about it. Do you think I
was successful? GAAAHHH! No such luck. That's where all of you come in.
All I was able to discern from my attempts was that this quilt was created by
a very talented woman named Teresa Wade. I'd sure love it if any of you were
able to help me find out more about this quilt. Who designed it (was it Teresa)?
Does she have a blog or pattern company? How can I find out more about her?
If you know anything at all about this quilt, or are able to find out more, please
email me through the button on my right sidebar. I can't tell you how grateful I'll be.
Oh, and one more thing...If I am the original pinner of something I see on the web,
I always add the url for the original in my description. I think it would be a great
idea if everyone who pinned something did the same thing. It's not only great for
helping others find the original source, but it's the polite thing to do, too.
Credit where credit is due, after all.
Thanks.

I agree! I love Pinterest, but sometimes I come across some really unsavory sites that have been linked to really pretty pictures. I hope those links aren't spreading viruses on my computer. :(
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, Donna! This is a beautiful quilt. Good luck on your search.
ReplyDeleteEasy to see why you love this quilt. I can see you making it. I am no help with your search. I try to stay off of Pinterest as the links...or lack of...really annoy me. Friday Joy Dear...
ReplyDeleteThe quilt really is beautiful. I so agree with you about pinning. I am always careful to link back to the source of any image. On the Google search engine, you can find the original source of any online image.

ReplyDeleteHi Donna! This is such a gorgeous quilt. I'm glad you were able to find the pattern...Pinterest is a great place, but I know what you mean. I'm not a member, but I still find myself wandering around in there for hours on end! Have a great weekend! xo
ReplyDeleteespecially with recipes...I come across a delicious looking and sounding recipe and then can't find the recipe. lovely quilt though; job most excellently done.
