So, what to do? Walls in my design studio are almost non-existent except for one area where there are sliding doors and I have a piece of batting type of material clipped in front of the doors and that is used all the time. Problem though, it is not tall enough and you all know by now that I make mostly large queen size quilts.
DH came to the rescue. He went out and purchased some rigid Styrofoam boards 24” wide x 86” high. My boards fold up like a screen (accordion style) to store out of the way when not needed.
Tape the seams as shown.
A piece of flannelette sheeting is pinned in place (with an exception).
The added bonus to these boards is turning it around and placing another flannelette sheet on the backside and another design wall is ready to use. Two in one ….. now how is that for space saving?
I hope that this helps anyone out there that has a problem with lack of design walls.
BTW …. my girls love to play hide and seek behind my board.
Have a great day!

That's a brilliant design wall!
My design wall is made like that but I am lucky enough to have space so it's nailed to the wall. I couldn't quilt without it.
How great of your husband to help you with your problem. Great idea.
That's a nifty idea!
What a great desing and again with the Lover's Knot. I wonder if I might enjoy this? Not sure.
I love imagining the girls playing in out and of their new "hidey spot!" That's got to be sooo cute.
What a super idea for a design wall -- portable, no less!!
That lover's knot top is going to be absolutely fabulous -- it's gorgeous just looking at it on the wall!
How awesome is that? I am envious....what a great solution for your problem.
Great design wall. I can see I would be shedding pins all over the floor if I tried to move it. The Lovers' Knot is lovely
Great Idea I'm trying to get some space and with this idea I might be able to get a wall for me. Love it.
What a smart hubby! I love it!
That's a great idea! This would be good for our club to - have to make sure there is a place for us to store it at our new location.
And doesn't your quilt look lovely on the design wall!
It is a great idea! Since I have a foldable partition wall I think I should convert it like what you did.
Great solution!
Great design wall, and I love that Lover's Knot....beautiful!
