Regarding the holes in the wall thing ... I, too, have that problem but can't do without my design wall!! I put those hooks up that you can pull the tab and remove them with no damage all across the room every 15" or so. Then I clipped circular curtain hooks to a large piece of warm and natural. Presto ... over 12 feet by 8 feet of space and no holes in the wall. I use it daily. You could put it on the wall behind the bed perhaps.

Before I moved here, I also had a design wall with no holes in the wall. I used one inch styrofoam (insulation) and cut to fit between floor and ceiling. It took 3 sheets to cover the wall between my bookcases. I taped warm and natural over these sheets (like a package), bent them very slightly and pushed in tight to the wall. That was better than what I have now because it could be pinned into easier.

Good luck!!

The bed works fine as there are 5 quilts on my sewing room bed right now. Waiting for hubby to build me a double chimney cupboard to store those quilts and more. Plan to woodburn quilt pictures in the door panels then color them in. If and when that gets done will post pictures. Oh for the time to do one's hobby uninterrupted. Make it a good one!

Lucky you. Day off? Never heard of one? Does it ever come in two's? I figure it will be April before I have a "day off", but I'm going to quilt anyway. Taking it with me to do at the hospital at DH's bedside. Where there is a will there is a way
