I started up a couple new projects last night, although I probably won't get to play with them til the weekend as I have housework tonight, Mum and I are going to Cirque du Soleil Wednesday night, Thursday I have my work social club surf and turf bbq, then back that evening to meet up with our Thursday sewing group just to have tea and dessert, then that takes us to Friday again!! whew!!! now that the room is set up, I now have to find the time to actually SEW!!! LOL!! I have big plans for my room and the ideas are swimming around. It's a shame I have to work in the day time! :(
Yes Alexi is a big sook! She has to be on your lap all the time or cuddling in bed between Trevor and I. She loves to sleep under the covers. She will be a good bed warmer when the winter gets here again! LOL

I just keep coming back to look at your great room to see if I've over-looked anything and to see which of your ideas I can use. One thing I am wondering about is where do you place your pieces to design your quilts? I don't have the space for a design wall (unless I would hang it from the ceiling in front of the closet wall). What I usually do is place a sheet over the bed and lay all of my pieces on that. Then when it's time to use the bed, I roll the pieces up in the sheet.

Another idea you can do for your design wall is to find a long tube at your local fabric store they use for rolling fabrics and to roll your design wall in that. Then you can store it in a corner and can take it with you anywhere and all your pieces will stay in place :) hmm just reread your message, you do that now!! LOL sigh... I'm at work so my mind is in a zillion different directions... but hey I still need my dose of this forum even here at work throughout the day!!! LOL
Actually the electrical panel is on the ride hand side of the Grapevine wreath. That WH is almost in the corner of that wall, so the wall you don't see is where I'll be putting the design wall.
I'm so glad you enjoy looking at my space! I'm loving every minute of being in there now and yes I am willing to share my ideas with anyone here in the room! I'm always seeing ideas from other people's sewing rooms that I want to put into mine! I still have plans for that big storage shelf by my sewing machine, but in time. Right now it is still to messy to me! I need organization in my life LOL. I love looking at organization books! I have a book specifically for sewing rooms! I'll take a look through the book tonight to see if I can see any other ideas about design walls!
Cheers!

Thanks so much for the detailed reply. Actually I think the fabric roll would do well, because with the sheet it actually is just folded up and stashed away. The roll would prevent so much wrinkling. Great idea, thanks. I like your idea of canvas yardage. Have never really looked for that, so I don't know the width of the piece. I was just thinking about getting a good quality flannel-backed vinyl tablecloth. I have a cheapo one right not and it really doesn't work. Someone on the board recommended getting a higher end in quality because they worked better. Oooh, I've got 'freesONs" just thinking about how much I am learning from all of you great people. (FreesONs is a Cajun French term for "goosebumps" or gooseflesh. It's meaning more or less connotates that chilly feeling. It really loses something in the interpretation.
