I dream of a quilt studio in the woods overlooking a lake or stream, watching birds and wildlife outside my window as music plays quietly over an expensive Bose stereo system. I can stitch away the day with no other responsibilities except to be a wonderful wife and grandma. That’s not likely to happen any time soon, so I’m content begrudgingly working in my unfinished basement with the beautiful yellow cement block walls. But a design wall would make all the difference, so the Woodworker, being the fabulous husband that he is, helped make THAT dream a reality for Mother’s Day.
If you’ve wondered how to create your own design wall, here’s how we did it, in pictures.
If you leave a comment below, please tell the Woodworker how appreciative of him you are. You can find him during the day at Mosey’s Woodworks in beautiful downtown Flushing.
Ah you're so clever – I used a foam board too, no frame, just nailed right into the drywall. It really makes a huge difference, having that space to play on, doesn't it?

thumbs up – I wish I had the space for it – but I have no wall available most of the time – one day 🙂

What a great design wall! Could my Workworker borrow your Woodworker's idea?? 🙂

My son sent me a large flannel sheet for Christmas but I have no space large enough to hang it inside our rabbit hutch. O might borrow the chain-link fence in the park and then roll it up with pieces in place. Hmmmm.

What a brilliant idea! That would work for an apartment as well — I think it could be hung with picture hooks? I'm showing this to my DH as I think it would be a great way to finally get a design wall of sorts!

I long for a design wall, too. Maybe some day it will become a reality! You are so lucky! The Woodworker did a splendid job!
