I use a fabric magazine rack to store all my long tubes of paper like pantos, and rolls of fusible etc. Works great, and hides them all.
I sanded, and painted a hollow core door and placed it on top of two 36" high bookshelves to make a 36" x 80" cutting table which is exactly the right height to work at. I LOVE IT!
I purchased strong magnetic tool holders at the hardware store and use them to hold up quilts in progress or once they are finished. Magnets leave no holes!
I also purchased a 6ft. shade on sale and have attached flannel to it to make it a disappearing design wall.
I purchased heavy clear vinyl from my WalMart fabric dept, marked the grid on it myself and cut it to fit my Grace frame to align pantos on. $14.00 instead of $70 for pre-gridded vinyl you buy online.
I purchase my safety pins for basting online from a dry-cleaners wholesale shop - MUCH CHEAPER!
You can see my studio by going to my site at
www.belvidere.net/quilt - lots of ideas for you there!
