It's Sharon Schamber with an "SCH" at the beginning. Just Google her and especially look her up on YouTube.

I subscribe to her videos and love to watch the "Spotlight Class: Designing for the Quilting Process". Watch it and I guarantee you will be totally fascinated and relaxed watching this extremely talented artist design and draw.

I have a very large room (17 by 24) that is my library/sewing room. There is just enough open floor space to do a king size quilt. However it is getting harder on my knees all the time

Holly "q"rap quilterKen, why didn't I think of that?

That is perfect solution for me.

Thanks for the tip.

Just another thought here folks.
DOUBLE DUTY IDEA:
I have one of these "tops" that is I use for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter dinner when there are too many to fit at the dining room table without bumping elbows. Got a BIG family. Put the tablecloth on top and no one is the wiser. Also plenty of room for all the dishes of yummies.

I found the site for the free video tutorial by Sharon Schamber.
Google in Sharon Schamber Quilter, it opens several sites, just scroll down to the one showing a picture of Hand Basting and you can watch the instructions.

I do mine on the island in my kitchen. Works great.

I use the floor. Yes, it's hard on the knee's but I spray bast so not quite as bad. I did get a used ping pong table but didn't realize how large it was going to be and have no place to open it up.

I don't have enough floor space and no where to lay out anything that large so I decided to create my own. I have an unfinished basement with plenty of room so I purchased 2 fold up tables (6 ft x 3 ft?). They are sold at a lot of places, hardware stores, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. and they are frequently on sale for about $30 each, especially over the holidays. I opened the tables up and set them side by side. They have a nice finish and it's easy to use tape to hold your fabric down. You can lay out a pretty large quilt or work in one section at a time on the basting. When you're done, just leave the tables set up and cover them with an old sheet or painters plastic to keep it clean until you are ready to use it again. The tables are also useful for other things like outdoor picnics, extra dinner table, etc. It sure beats on the knees no matter how you look at it. :D :D
