Saw it on Bee in my Bonnet
 

I was just looking at Bee in my Bonnet and she was using a small board to place her cut pieces on and it was trimmed in gingham. Does anyone know if I can get that somewhere?

If you look on her site, she gives you directions on how to make them. :)

Oh good! Thank you!

link to the tutorial.

those are cute!

at retreats we've twice had these as "favors"--one made out of think plywood covered in flannel, the other was foam board with batting covering.

My quilty friend made me a couple for Christmas, one about 10" square, the other about 14. Very Handy!! I'm toying with the idea of making a half dozen or so to arrange complex blocks to take to the machine.

Awesome! I am going to make some of those for me..next some for my friends!!

Cute! I wonder how she attaches the edge fabric? The tutorial doesn't tell that part.

I made two of them out of one piece of foam board so they were about 13x16. I gave them as my Yankee swap gift our guild did for Christmas (along with a potluck of wonderful food) along with a couple of sewing notions.

You use a glue gun to attach the edge fabric which looks like binding. They are easy to make and I have it on my list to make myself a couple since I have just started a sew along with a Modern guild which is doing Jen Kingwell’s Long Time Gone quilt.

When you click on the link, at the end of the tute, there is a sentence that states that you can click on 'here' to see how the board is finished. When I went to that spot, I could not get pictures to show up but the instructions were simple enough to figure out.

I couldn't get the pics to show either but if I clicked on the individual rectangles the pics would come up. Kinda slow but I could see them.

the pics are there... you have to find the pale blue lines down the center and click on them

If you don't want to make it, she has a lot of her products for sell at Fatquarter.com. There is an 18" design board listed there.

Love these - plan to make some as gifts for a retreat.

Thank you for the link!

Yes, she had many sizes there is also instructional video to make your own at youtube fatquartershop channel, how to make lori holt design boards.

I made one and had a little trouble with the edges. I did another using duct tape instead and it was much easier.

I love them! Simple to make ... when I first saw them I thought not for me! ... but made a couple for a class and fell in love.

I taught my library group to make them. They are hot glued. No need for the binding if you don't want. I had some leftover cut binding so I used that. a diff fabric on each side!
