How to make a quilting design wall - 4 different ways and ideas - BUDGET FRIENDLY 

hahaha, I agree!

hahahaha that's exactly what some other's have said as well :)

I thought the same thing!

Those garters were tools of my trade. Is it serendipity to find a new more useful way to use garters? It doesn’t matter now. At the time, I loved silk stockings. Now I love quilting. I am transforming and evolving into my truly more creative self.

Me too Lylian, I have a ton of ideas for fun creative quilt projects ahead :) Thanks for watching!

Hello Ms. Connie, so great to hear from you! I'm hoping this video gave you some great ideas for your new design wall or even sparked an idea or two :)

Hey Sandy, I've missed you too!

thanks so much Brandy!

I thought so too Peggy!!! We purchased a stud finder and it wasn't working so well.....looked up a tutorial about it and came across this idea and had to pass it along :)

Who would have thought finding a stud in the wall could be so simple??? hahaha, we thought that was a neat trick and had to pass it along.

So glad I could pass this along and share it with you Carole :)

You are so welcome!

and for traveling too!! Thanks for watching :)

Thanks for watching Suzanne, enjoy your new design wall!!

I'm so glad this video was helpful for you Dorene, yes that magnet trick is AWESOME!!

hahaha, he loves popping into a video here and there! It really is a great trick, who would have thought finding studs in the wall could be so simple??

Thank you so much Kathryn!!!! Ohhhhh I love seeing everyone's creative spaces :) I hope you enjoy the reorganizing process!

He was happy to pass that tip along, thanks for watching!

Hi there, Lisa, I just discovered your videos today and found the one above--about the 4 design walls--to be excellent. Since you asked, I will tell you about the design wall I made for myself a few years ago. First of all, regarding the materials, I had to consider the cleanest board material I could find because I have allergies. So, I purchased a number of tri-fold display boards [made of cardboard] at the local craft store, taped them together, affixing batting to them with tape. The cardboard is not pin friendly, so I pin my fabric to the batting as if I were pinning it to another piece of fabric. I loved your smaller portable design board covered with a flannel pillowcase which would be very useful to use as you described or for designing smaller projects. Your foldable design board is brilliant! Loved your video!!!

@@marymorton9117 thank you so much for sharing!

glad we could pass it along, thanks for watching!!

Hello Anne, great to hear from you! Thank you soooo much :)

have your magnet ready and just be like......"hold on honey, I'll find the stud for you real quick" hahahaa.....you're right, I think he'll be impressed hehehe

I'm so glad this video made making a design wall super simple! The flannel is wonderful all on it's own acting as a design wall or paired with some kind of insulation/foam board.

You are so welcome!

vacuum the flannel......that's genius! Thanks for passing that along. You know us quilters, we have strings everywhere!! My last design wall was always COVERED with string and because it was just poly batting it was really hard to clean. I like the idea of breaking out the vacuum every once in a while to tidy up :)

Thank you so much Judie :) How have you been??

Thanks so much! 😊

You are so welcome

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much Irene, the shorter hair is certainly much easier for me :) I posted a follow up video for the design wall...maybe that will help?? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NY1Ne3HcHTs.html

If I didn't do so many t-shirt quilts I would go the same exact route Linda, hanging the flannel sheet without the insulation board is a perfect design wall! I actually hadn't thought about just pinning the t-shirt blocks into the sheet, that's genius!

Thank you. Is my ? too.

Same question. How did you mount the board on the wall? How can you change the flannel?

I would install using brackets that would be secured directly to the wall. That way the brackets can be removed to change the flannel and there are no holes in the flannel or board. Hope that makes sense!

Great idea to use the pillow cases as a "traveling design wall/board." Your large design wall is fabulous. I haven't watched the entire video yet but I really need to know how to install it to the wall. Thanks for the great ideas. You REALLY lucked out with the deal on your sheet set. I am just finding your channel thanks to a shout-out from Brenda at Conquering Mount Scrapmore. You posted this 4 years ago so if you see this comment, would you do anything differently for your design wall?

Have the same question, how do you install it up on the wall?

He is really great isn't he??? Hahaha, he loves making an appearance from time to time in the videos :)

My parents love doing photography and it shows for sure! I'm soooooo glad to hear from my sweet Dorothy!!

It was my pleasure, thanks for watching!

Thank you so much Vera! Glad I could pass along the ideas :)

Lisa Capen Quilts ❤️

I look forward to showing you around once everything is straight :)

Ohhhh I'm so excited that you are getting a new design wall!!! They are so helpful to have, and I totally agree......we purchased a stud finder and spent more time trying to figure out how accurate it was........then it took to find a magnet and do it this way :)

Thank you Lorraine!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much Jill, it is quite a bit more room verses my last space. I look forward to giving a tour once everything finds a place and off these tables and floor hahaha :)

I just told him you said thank you :)

Hello Leah, so great to hear from you! Thank you sooo much :) I'm actually used to working in a tiny "she shed" space....looking at all of this stuff I wonder how I fit it all in there before hahahaa......

YES! Can you post a picture of the screws attached to the wll?

Hello Nancy, thanks for stopping by and checking out my video!!! It was great to hear from you :)

Isn't he just AWESOME????? He's always so helpful and loves making appearances in the videos from time to time hahaha. I used to have short spikey hair....I loved it! Then grew it out and because of my hair type it was soooo much work, going back to short was one of the best choices I've made in a long time hahahaa. It's great to hear from you, can't wait to spend more time with you!

I really like the idea of being able to fold it up when not using it and tucking it away :) Thanks for watching!

Glad you like them!

Great tip!

Thanks so much 😊

Thanks so much! 😊
