I cannot take credit for this idea. I read about recently in a quilting magazine. I used a flannel backed tablecloth (bought on sale), reinforced the vinyl side with duct tape, added gommets to it and hung it on adhesive backed hooks on one of the sliding doors that hides the stash. Each of the doors is six feet wide by about 5-1/2 feet tall so the design wall is big enough to manage a larger quilt. Also, the wall is portable. I can roll it up and take it with me when necessary.
I love it. What do you think?

:thumbup:

I think that's a very clever thing! I'm thinking I could do that and hang it up temporarily on hooks, as my hubby would not put up with it being up on the family room wall all of the time.

But I'm not sure I understand the duct tape. Did you just do the edges, or the whole vinyl side?

I used the duct tape to reinforce the top of the vinyl side of the tablecloth, particularly since I was concerned that the grommets might not manage the weight of the thing really well. I also reinforced the bottom to give it some weight so that it would not "fly about".
Hope this explanation makes sense.
I just noticed too that we added the white valance at the top of the doors to hide what I thought was the ugly mechanical metal looking deal that helps those doors stay in place and slide.

fabulous!! i saw the directions for this but have not done it yet. nice to see one done. thank you.

Looks great!

That is the PERFECT place !!!!!!
I love all that room behind that door too........ :thumbup:

Creative

Thank you, Thank you. I need ideas for design wall. I have a table cloth but not how I want to hang it. I like the gromits. Thanks again for sharing.

Looking good!

I have to give credit to my wonderful hubby for building those shelves on one side of my sewing room. I just made certain that they were not so deep that I could not reach almost nearly to the back of each of the shelves. I have short arms (to go with my short body) and it made sense to me to be able to get to the very back of the stash.
Once that shelving was up, we figured out a way for those two sliding doors to cover the works.

Oh, I like this alot. You made me look at my sewing room with a different eye. I have 2 large windows. I could do something there. Hmmmmm

Great idea.

That's some stash you've got there. I'd love to go though it and see what hidden gems are lurking in those totes. :lol:

Great idea!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you...las wk I opened up a tablecloth I had and was going to thumb tac to my paneled wall...whick I didn't want to do. Never thought to use those adhesive temp hooks that Scotch puts out.

Nice job!
