Beautiful design! Tfs, Laura ❤

I like that wheelie cart thingy.

I have a folding screen (lightweight, canvas art screen, bought on Amazon). I’ll just drape the flannel over the top (maybe a bit of tape on the back side). I can fold it up and set it out of the way.

Wish I were there to help! I loved sewing, but it's been so long since I did. My fingers just don't work so well now!🥰

👏👏👏 I like your idea, planning, presentation and perseverance!!! I must say the ”piece de resistance” would be the trial samples making The Hungry Catepillar😝🥰 Thank you for giving us this opportunity! ❤️😀

❤ that was interesting, great idea!

I really enjoyed watching you plan and implement your ideas. I use a Cheryl’s portable flannel design wall or a quilt display hanger with heavy duty flannel handing from it. Neither are very movable as things fall off and they are not on wheels. But….you have given me some great ideas about using castors on the display stand or putting the portable flannel display on the garment cart I have on my attic 👏🏻

Tape yardsticks across the the back connecting pannels for extra support.

I use a flannel tablecloth tacked to the wall works perfectly. Used for several years

I can't wait to see this finished. I love the quilting pattern choice.

By the way, this is an absolutely fabulous idea!!!!

E6000 glue? Or would that due the same thing?

Thank you so much! That is just the what I need. Will try to make a moveable design wall using all your good tips.

I have now hand quilted 5 EPP quilts and am about to start on my 6th. Mostly, I have done an overall repeat pattern across the width of the quilt, because for me it's all about colour, not so much the quilting, and my favourite go-to is a clamshell pattern. On this latest version, I have laid the hexies out in diamonds, with a dark single layer border all around each one. The plan for this quilt is firstly to do a simple running stitch in the diagonal borders, in a contrasting colour to the border. Depending on how that stabilises, I shall then work more into each diamond. I use a fine large eye embroidery needle with 12wt perle cotton for the borders and will work into the diamonds with 40wt coated quilting cotton. I find quilting over hexies isn't too bad if you choose a pattern that doesn't intersect with every.single.seam, and I'm not a great fan of over-quilting hexie quilts, which are already quite heavy. Too much stitching just makes them really stiff. That's OK if they're for display, but I make quilts to be used, and a nice drape is better.

Loved watching you create this. I was thinking you could velcro or tape a like 8 or longer' pole or wood to each side of the roller frame. They would extend up high enough on each end, stabilizing the upper board., I made mine out of the 2" home insulation and screwed into the wall, I like your moveable idea better, my lighting sucks. You didnt describe what you were doing with the lighting. Was it for the front or back? New sub! You're a delight to watch!

That's so cool. And I can think of many uses for a rig like that!

Very clever. great job and well done. CONGRATULATIONS

Great idea with the rolling rack. Love it.

I'd like to see a video of how you use a design wall

My sister is a quilter and I figured out how to make a rolling design wall for her about 10 years ago. We made it double sided. I took one of those $10.00 rolling garment racks from Walmart and 2 pieces of that 4 x 8 insulation board from Home Depot, and wrapped them in flannel and attached them with the velcro ties like you used, but we slit the insulation and pushed the velcro ties through it, so no glue involved. We then just attached one on each side of the rolling rack so she can work on two different projects at the same time. She can just flip it around to whichever side she is working on and move it where she needs it to be and move it out of the way when she is not using it and needs more room. We originally did it because the room she was using as her sewing room was a sunroom with lots of windows and not much wall space to put her boards on. Her first space she just had them leaning up against the wall, but they were warping. On this rack that doesn't happen. We actually made two sets of them. The house she is in now, she usually just uses one set of them.

Did you re color it ?

I have a double closet in my sewing room. I purchased the easy to install "Quik hang" curtain brackets, a curtain rod the length of my closet that fits the brackets. I install on my top molding of the closet. I bought a wide piece of flannel with the grid, sewed a rod pocket. Viola! The rod/brackets do not hinder the opening and closing of my closet because they are above the doors. I can bring the flannel to the side and use a tieback when not in use. Also, I got the wide grid flannel for block placement, but I wish I had purchased a more coordinated flannel to match my decor. But, I still love it.

Use pins to keep your fabric in place.

Love your cats pillow! My design wall is from Fons & Porter. My husband made me a huge wooden frame and stapled the F&P wall to the frame, then screwed the frame into the wall. It worked great. A couple of pieces of PVC pipe might offer enough support on the back?

Thank you for the great video! My sewing room is upstairs and has the slanting ceiling like yours. I only use it for sewing, not a spare bedroom. I used decorative button pins and just pinned my flannel directly to the wall. Looking forward to your next video! 🎃🎃🎃

I like your quilts and the paint chip art. Very pretty.

That is so cool. New sub here. The pipe thingies are called pipe insulation or Armaflex. I desperately need a designwall, too. I bought ceiling mount curtain rods from Ikea to make one, but this will not happen this year. Hopefully, this will be a 2025 project.

You did a fantastic job! Most first projects are things like simple aprons! I’m 78 and started sewing when I was 3. Doll clothes came early and most of that was just playing around with it. The summer after 3rd grade, mid 1950s, so full skirts, I made my first dress and changed it quite a bit. I did have help from my mother,though! She put in the zipper and hemmed it. Speaking of zippers, if you can find a Simplicity Sewing Book, you will have a great reference book! When you get to the stage of needing to sew in a zipper, I still refer to the instructions on the paper that they come in. Save it for reference so you can use other brands afterwards if you want. Good luck. You can do it! I have a feeling that you are quite capable of doing more and enjoying the process!

My aunt is an awesome quilter she goes to a quilt shop in Mass and they us in the shop those plastic table clothes you put on a table with the fuzzy stuff on the back and it works. You can get them for like under 5 each and they tack it to the wall they have it in king, queen, full and twin . Mt aunt said it works great.

I sooooo want one of these moveable board - I dragged my 'handy-man' husband over to watch. Tomorrow I'm off to the shops to buy STUFF! Anne Kennedy - New Zealand

Well done with the design wall it looks great. I love your sewing room. It’s awesome. One thing caught my eye though, the couch. I have been looking for a new couch because our pets have ruined our current couch. I love that your couch cover seems to be staying well in place. I am wondering if you can tell me where you got the couch. Thanks

WOW! really beautiful colors and the computer design! Just WOW!

I used peel and stick corkboard on my bedroom wall. Best decision in 40 years.

please please please share the program!

Pin what won't stick???

Very innovative! I usually just tear longer lengths of flannel to yield a straight line on grain. For lighting, could you attach a long thin clamp style desk lamp to the trolley leg? Amazon has a ton of options. Thanks for reminding me about the 108 in wide flannel, instead of seaming together reg width flannel to cover mine!

I don’t sew big projects, but I watched your video with great interest❤❤

Very clever! I enjoyed all the thought you put into this project! Can't wait to see your next video!

I’ve been thinking about a hexi quilt for a long time…..you’ve inspired me ! Watching from Vancouver Island, BC 🇨🇦🌸

Great vido and advice. I am STILL 😢😢 working on a large grandmother's flower garden. Unfortunately I didn't trim seams enough, used cotton batting and thicker backing. I absolutely love the quilt . However I have to up and down not rock the needle to quilt! I am hopeful to finish with in the year. Rookie hand quilting mistake.

Just stunning. 😮 I appreciate the steps you took and your explanations....not too wordy, thanks! Fantastic work! ❤ 🤩😸

Just found your videos and am loving them!

Oh my gosh, what a fantastic program. Your video came along at the right time, I have 900 Hexi's so far and I've already sewn them into the flower form, but now I need figure out how to put them together. Your suggestions of books is terrific. I subscribed and can't wait to start following your channel. Thank you so much. I'm only 76 but I am really enjoying expanding my quilting, which I've been doing since I was 7. Over these years, I have seen all the changes in quilting and tried almost all of them. I started with hand sewing and went to the treadle my grandmother had. We've come a long way. And isn't it fun?

Прекрасное одеяло. Но меня заинтересовало синее панно в вашей гостиной за вашей спиной. Оно очень красивое, оригинальное. Настолько я поняла, это как бы секционная (или модульная) картина, не так ли? Если это вы сшили такую красоту, может, расскажете нам об этом? Как оформили верх и низ, например. Думаю, многие захотели бы сшить себе такую же картину. Спасибо.

Mavis is beautiful!!

I think I said "WOW" 4 or 5 times throughout this video! Scanning, programming, numbering, sorting... wow! Beautiful work. Watched while I was sorting scraps for a hopeful mini log cabin quilt. I also have a small box of epp hexagons next to my chair. Making them with scraps but no plan. I need to work on a plan. Enjoyed your video!

Hello. Thankyou for sharing. This is the first hexi quilt that I have seen that I actually like. And I have seen quite a few. She is beautiful. You have done an awesome job. Love it! ❤

Wow!❤️❤️❤️

I’ve got a little hexie quilt on the go, 1” patches. The design is single round multi coloured flowers with paths of pale grey, and I’ve found a lovely grey backing that has irregular coloured 1/4” multicoloured dots, but it’s too small a piece. So I’m going to do a hexie pieced border around the backing to coordinate. And I was also wondering about how to quilt it because of the seam allowances. It will get washed a lot and I don’t want them bunching up inside the quilt. So rather than quilt too closely, I stitched all the folds at the corners while folding them over the papers, and those sts remain after the papers come out. Hopefully that will keep the bulk neatly in place and I can quilt a bit wider apart.
