    I bought 2 large folding tables from Kmart and I put a big comforter and use that as my design wall. Works for me.

    Dina I love this idea. I've been racking my brain trying to come up with something, I too have such a small craft room and I'm trying so hard to get it organized. I want to get this room to where I want to go in there and stay. There is nothing likeable about it at this point. I want to get a cutting table to put in also. My craft room is 8 x10. I'm sure going to give this a try. Thanks for the tip. Marilyn43

    I'm also in the flannel camp but with one addition that I just love. I hung a flannel-backed tablecloth on the wall with tacks (they hold great!) and it hangs inside two tall bookcases on either end. I always have blocks up there but the way I hide it when I need to is with a quilt. I used a sturdy "rod" in the rod pocket that is quite a bit longer than the quilt and leave it rolled up almost all of the time above the flannel area. The rod sits on top of the bookcases but is white like they are so it is not even seen. When I need to hide my blocks I just unroll the quilt which fits nicely between the bookcases and all stays put but hidden underneath. I think my sewing room is only 8x8' so I have no choice but to use my vertical space. I can also see it from the hallway so I can step back and get that perspective when I need to. It's the best setup I've ever had and I'm so thankful for it
