Another wall -
My Other Half helped me put up the felt -
On the other wall in the hallway - ;))
It looked nekkid for a bit -
Until I put up the "Easy Street" blocks -
"Easy Street" (Bonnie Hunter Mystery - HERE )
What I could find without digging too deep - ;))
It's not fancy but it works for me - ;))
I just buy "felt" off the bolt -
It comes 72" wide -
So that goes from top to bottom on the wall -
All I need is a piece the length of the wall - ;))
I put it up with thumbtacks - ;))
I can't pin "into" the wall -
Like you can on some other design walls -
But I can pin blocks to the felt - ;))
I try not to scratch the wall behind it when I pin -
But if I were to take the felt down -
There are probably a LOT of scratches on the wall - ;))
I don't think that they are any worse -
.
Than nail holes from pictures -
Just more of them - ;))
A little Spackle and some paint -
Should make the wall "new" again - ;))
After that was taken care of -
I figured out my "assembly" plan for the Top Right Corner section -
I think it will work - ;))
Because I pre-sash my blocks -
And I'm making this up as I go along -
I have to figure out whether to work from the "center - out" -
Or from the "corner - in" -
So that I don't have a "hole" -
At the end where my setting triangle -
Fits in with the cornerstone -
FUN - FUN - FUN - ;))
I think from the "corner - in" will work -
If not -
There may be some "unsewing" in my future - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
Awww I had forgotten how much I love your fabric colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda - they should be a nice change from the red/brown/beige/tan that I've been working with lately - ;))
DeleteFelt off the bolt is what I used on my design wall. Works for me.
ReplyDeleteI love your beautifully mounted version - it looks much nicer and neater than mine. Mine is just "on the wall" - ;))
