I bought two fourxeight foot sheets of foam core board(which wouldn't fit in my car so someone brought them to my house) and nailed them with six nails each to a wall in my seweing room. Hung 72" flannel from the top, and voila, a design wall! I did this in my previous house, and the nail holes are easy to fill with spackling paste when you are ready to move.

Miss Ann went crazy, just kidding...

I apaologize for the duplicate entries here...don't know how that happened, or how to delete them. Sorry!

that sounds like what I need. I dont really have any clear wall space to hang one Thanks for your help, now if I can find the board :lol:

You could just make the curtains in your sewing room out of flannel and make them the same size as your window so that they hang flat or even put a rod at the bottom too. That way there's nothing to store and your design wall is always available.

At a retreat as one of the mini-classes, they handed out a ceiling tile & a small piece of warm and natural batting. We cut the batting to size & used the basting spray to attach the batting to the tile. (that was a few years ago & the batting is still sticking on it) It's perfect for placing a block as you're piecing it to keep it in order when moving to the ironing board or whatever. If you could get a 16" tile it would work a little better because the 12" tile is a little small when you are laying the raw pieces of the block out.

I thank you for all of the great ideas. I bought a table cloth for now and it works great. My sewing area is a corner of my bedroom and the idea to get some kind of board or foam and slip it behind my dresser is what is on my plate for my next project.
