Thanks for the tut on the icons. I've also been wanting to know how. Next comes the fancy signatures. :?:
I don't know how to do those either! Boo! :thumbdown: I"m hoping someone will see your post and explain it to us. :lol:

This might be more money than you want to spend but the idea is terrific. Check out the site Vanishingwall.com
It retracts into itself with the blocks on it and is attractive also. I saw one at the Boise Idaho quilt show.
Awesome idea especially if you have limited space.

My guest room is my sewing room. I have the mattress standing on end against the wall and the mattress pad is my design wall. When the kids come to visit, I can roll up the mattress pad and put a different one on for them to sleep on.

The place I go to "Sit & Sew" uses vinyl tablecloths, turned around backwards..Heck go to the dollar store and get 2 or 3 and try them out. If it don't work, you haven't invested alot of money. That's what I'm going to try.

I use a vinyl tablecloth as well. Easy, cheap, and portable.

I would go to Michael's and get 2 formboards. Use duct tape on one so it would fold to store. You will have a bigger area and cheater.

I can't think of the name of those boards either. Bought a few in my time for kid's science fairs.

Bought this one at Joann's the other day with my 50% off coupon. Wish I could tell you about it but it is still in the package. I need to buy those 3M stickon the wall things to hang it with so until I get those it may as well stay in its bag.

I use foam core board from Dollar tree or Walmart. Mine has a hanging cord and I can easily remove it from the wall. You can butt several together to make a larger wall. I covered my with flannel by spraying glue down and spreading the flannel on it. They are very light weight and you can push pins into them easily... I use a smaller one for assembling one block,,, mho
