Just tack a large piece of felt on the wall and there it is!!!!
You can use a window shade with felt on it and then roll it up when not in use

Great room. For the design wall buy white flannel - 2 separate cuts of at least 2 yards each and staple to the wall or use push pins. The staples can be just a regular staple type. That's what I did.

You're so smart to leave an 'empty' space for your design wall. I hope you'll get plenty of suggestions for how to make one.

I made a sleeve on the top of a big piece of white flannel. DH put big cup hooks on the wall to hold the dowel we put through the sleeve. When I made my on-point watercolor quilt (the one that I lost), I marked 2" squares diagonally on a white piece of flannel for a sleeve. That one was done when Mom and I shared a sewing room in her BIG apartment in AZ. Of course, now we all know that the EASIEST way to do watercolor quilts is with the pre-marked adhesive backing. But flannel still makes a good design background. I've heard that the back of a Vinyl tablecloth is EVEN BETTER, but I haven't tried that yet.

I love your sewing room! I just finished reading a super book on quilting studios. Its called " Creating your perfect quilting space" by Lois Hallock. It has tons of wonderful ideas for storage and setups for quilting studios. I got it from the local library. I promptly went out and bought bed raisers for my cutting table so it would be easier on my back. (now why didn't i think of that?) also has ideas for design walls- some were already mentioned here. If you feel that you need a little color on your window, you could just put a small valance at the top of your blinds. Is the side table you got from Walmart wiggly like a TV tray or is it stable? it looks like it would make a good secondary cutting or pressing surface.

Surely you are not going to sell your baskets at a garage sale. Sell them on E-bay or something. They are too expensive to get anything at a garage sale.

Hi there!

The table from WalMart is not 'wiggly' at all. It's been great as a pressing table!

Beautiful work area; the Longaberger makes it! I am a collector as well and am thinking of selling the majority of mine too, except special ones...

Have fun creating in your new space!
