Great Idea for a design wall!

So I had posted pictures a while back of my sewing room move and redo with no money. Now we are talking NO space - I think I have every inch of the walls covered with shelves, hanging things, etc. I have a big bulletin board that I batted and covered and thought 'ok there's my design wall'. Wrong! That board I want to use for pinning up patterns, directions, scraps, inspiration pieces - bottom line is I need a design wall as well!
So here is what I am going to do. The only free wall space I have is behind my door on the same side as the bulletin board. I could mount the design wall there but I don't want to close the door. So I am going to Home Depot this weekend to buy the sliding closet door hardware. I will mount the hardware to the ceiling about 2 inches away from the wall. I will take a piece of 1 x 2 cut to length and attach the little rollers and hardware to it. Then I will take my batting cut to width and length, bind it, and attach to the 1 x 2. Hang, and voila! a moveable design wall that can be hung behind the door when not in use and slid in front of the bulletin board when I need it! Cool, huh?

I have one that is similar. Mine is a huge fleece blanket that I have on a rod that goes across our bedroom. It doubles as a curtain so if the kids walk in we still have some privacy. I can push it aside during the day or when its not needed. I do have to pin my blocks to it but it works!

My sewing room was our middle bedroom when dearest children lived at home. When I took it over I removed the bi-folding doors to the closet and hung long drapes instead. They cover the hoard behind quite nicely and the drapes are now covered with pinned pieces of more than one project I'm currently working on.
