Thread: New Design Wall

Would love to have that in my quilting room....

That is neat!

That is great and I would love one but to pricy for me at this time, too many Dr. bills I have to pay.

I have a larger one of these but is used as a "PHONY" wall to cover washer / dryer , sink. and hot water tank. Cost us approx. $500. Cdn dollars. So real some people even try leaning on it. Mine is vinyl so I didn't ever think to put fabric on it. But, now I may try that.

Watch for a clearance roller shade in the size you choose. One with a continuous loop cord would work better than a spring roller. Remove the fabric from the roller. Replace with either batting or felt or a vinyl table cloth. The roll when up will be thicker than the original fabric but should work the same. You just have to make sure you have the depth to accomodate the size by extending the brackets out with spacers. You might also have to stitch something along the bottom as a weight bar to help hold the fabric down and make the unrolling a bit easier.

Good idea, repurposing a shade....another thought....how about in reverse, like those matchstick bamboo/vinyl roll up from the bottom type window shades.....get a longer strip of wood,some nylon cord, staple flannel to board,mount, set up strings and role up....hmmmm

Great idea...Thanks for the link..
