Another victim of the move . . my design wall has come down, nail holes have been filled and the spots repainted
The camera wouldn’t focus on a blank wall so I had to tape the quilt drawing up there. Pretty sad to see a blank wall where my design wall used to be. For the next couple of months, I’ll be using the floor or the bed for my design wall. Here’s what I’ve been working on . . getting the pieces cut for my Road to Brownwood top that I can work on while in the hotel.

Hope it all goes well with the house hunting and the moving
Good morning Judy. My wall is also blank this morning but hopefully it will be back in use this afternoon. I love following the progress of you Road to Brownwood.
That’s just one of the frustrating things about moving — there’s no place to do your “stuff” during the couple of minutes when you aren’t packing and moving. Just try to remember that you will soon have an even better design wall and space.
packing up is hard to do (sing with me!)
it will all be worth it on the other end of your journey
Am I the only one who found it quite funny that there’s a drawing of a quilt on the wall? Before you know it, you’ll be moved in and have your design wall installed in your new house.
The blank wall is dull without all your color play! But at least you will still be sewing and quilting.
Hoping your new design wall will be bigger and better…that’s how things are in Texas I hear
My wall looks almost as bad as yours – just one little block on it.
I completely understand about missing that design wall. We just moved from our house to a rental house (we want the check in-hand from the house sale before we sign the contract with our builder) this weekend. I haven’t touched my sewing machine in more than a week and I doubt I’ll be able to take it out anytime soon. Right now, the rental is a mess of boxes and we’re trying to figure out what the minimum amount of things are that we have to unpack in order to live there for the next 5 months. No sewing for a little while.
Good luck with the house hunt and I’m sure you’ll find a way to still make your quilt tops…even if you’re in a hotel!
I purchased this portable design wall several weeks ago and it’s pretty awesome. I live in a log house, use the large loft for my quilt studio but it has no walls to use. After years of using the floor to lay out designs this has just been wonderful. I have the largest one, it’s fast and easy to take down and stash when I need to and very nice to take when teaching a class. Don’t know the maker and get nothing for recommending them.

All the best w/the move situation.
I have a portable design wall you can borrow! Cheryl Ann i think is the maker. I saw it in the magazines.
When are you leaving? Glad blogs are portable! Can’t do without my BFF!

I think I missed the cutting instructions for the Road to Brownwood Quilt! I should be doing that too so that I can sew WITH YOU!

Getting a house to market is just no fun! Hope you can get a design wall back up soon!
