And the little board is fantastic because you can just reach out and grab the blocks you need to sew. I don't have a "real" design wall either. They were selling "portable" design walls at the International Quilt Festival, but they were quite pricey. I just used thumb tacks and put a piece of batting on one of the walls in the hallway outside my sewing room....so far that seems to work well, but my cats like to go behind it and play so sometimes I have to pin the blocks on it. Kinda defeats the purpose, eh? :o)<br /><br />XOXO,<br /><br />CyndiCyndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06390176368906851223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845870756969337682.post-89325241817190381012011-04-17T18:51:33.159+10:002011-04-17T18:51:33.159+10:00I have room for a design wall but I am too tight t...I have room for a design wall but I am too tight to buy the wadding to make it work.

This will stop me doing it on the portable ironing block beside my sewing machine & then having to move it all to press. Now I have more ideas from you - thanks!

When I get around to it some day I am going to put felt or flannelette up so as I don't have to pin. I love my design wall anyway as it is nice sometimes to sit back and admire your work and help with the placement of blocks. <br />I think your little board would come in very handy next to your work area I may have to make one of these as well.<br />(((HUGS))) Roz.rozheartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16962530751092577027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845870756969337682.post-48681670014968397622011-04-16T14:50:56.120+10:002011-04-16T14:50:56.120+10:00EXCELLENT design wall, Fiona - whatever works and ...EXCELLENT design wall, Fiona - whatever works and you don't have to spend a fortune on! I used to do that Oh Fransson did with the foam board, loved it but it was just too big for my room. I would have to say that a design wall really makes the difference for me, large or small - it's so much easier to really SEE things as you make them. I don't know why that is!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845870756969337682.post-76576292707447447662011-04-16T13:21:56.204+10:002011-04-16T13:21:56.204+10:00I did the same thing except I used batting and han...I did the same thing except I used batting and hang over the closet<br />doors.
