UFO #3 - Finished! And a question ...

Well, I finished my January UFO #3 in the nick of time!  Nothing like last minute, I finished the binding yesterday afternoon!  Yay!!!  I present to you, Anita's Arrowhead blocks quilt....


I think this one might have to go on the bed tonight!  hehe!

So for February my UFO is #8, this pastel stars quilt, which I loaded onto the frame, gave the machine a spruce up, clean and oil, and she's ready to go. 


What I realised today, working in my Happy Daize Studio was that I need never have my frame empty again!  It is so great to have all the equipment I need in one place! 

Speaking of equipment, one thing I've never had is a design wall, though my living room floor made for a fantastic space to lay out and create. 

So my intention is to turn this wall into a design wall....


So here's the thing, I'm thinking polystyrene sheets propped up against the wall covered with wadding (batting) or a flannel sheet, or even both.  The slight angle of propping will hopefully stop things falling off. 

How have you made your design wall?  What would you recommend?  I'd love to hear your thoughts, either leave me a comment here or e-mail, either way, make sure I can reply  :)

A also had a little play tonight ....


but I can't show you too much .... not yet anyway!

Happy Quilting!
