Workroom changes / design wall











Looks like I am having a jumble sale!!
All the neatly stacked boxes, full of things I no longer remember
had to be moved for a new electrical system through the wall into the adjoining en-suite.
At the same time Chris said he would put up my long awaited design wall. First to clear a space, then a baton was attached to the wall about 54 x 54 inches square. Wadding was then fixed to the baton and finally a sheet of fabric covered the whole thing.
Now I just need to sort out the "jumble sale" ! and only put back in storage boxes things I will use one day, the rest can go to the next guild sales table, EBay or a Charity shop.

How wonderful! A new design wall and passing on the things that you no longer need!

I am in the process of moving my quilting out of the dining room and into the guest room. I find it to be quite painful. Sorting through everything is hard, it always is worse before it gets better!! It is worth it in the end and I know you will be ready to sew.

I thought maybe you were packing up to go on retreat! But getting a new design wall is exciting too!

Diana, your sewing room looks just like mine...only I have two rooms in that state as I am moving my sewing room into an upstairs bedroom where I can have a longarm and all my sewing stuff together, but have to also move all the bedroom funiture and bedding stuff to a downstairs room...... so guess what my hallway looks like????
I am now wondering where I can put my design wall, it's a bit awkward at the moment as it's still downstairs!!!
Best Wishes

Doesn't it feel good to have a good clean?! The design wall and whole area looks great!

Your design wall will be so useful!

I've been doing a bit of cleaning up myself. I don't have the stamina for a yard sale or Ebay so off as a donation it will all go...

Nice space! I'd like to be there for your jumble sale - but it kinda far from Riverside, CA. Those blocks look right at home already. And I loved seeing all your wonderful quilts on the side bar. A good idea!

It's tough to see all that you have forgotten once you start moving things around. I just did that and discovered I have way too many unfinished projects, so UFO busting is in my future as I do not belong to a guild. So nice to have a design wall--mine is not yet up again.

Hi Diana! After seeing all these wonderful design walls, It makes me want to purchase one myself!! I think I just might.
