Curtain rod+polar fleece=design wall
Looked all over today looking for flannel backed tablecloth and none to be found. Had a ah ha moment and said to self...I have a thin polar fleece lap blanket and odd curtain rod. Pinned the blanket over the rod. DH used two nails for the rod to sit on. Push pins to stretch it out a bit and wa laa....design wall. Cost...zero. Not huge but big enough for what I need. It is "hanging" on the wall in the laundry room which is next to my sewing room. Really need this to help organized the scrappy quilt making for DH's former MIL. Now...why didn't I think about this 5 to 15 years ago?
