How are you attaching the "covering" and mounting

Anne, I've been wanting to tell you that your kitty looks so much like mine! Mine is called Mindy and she's just about 2 years old. She loves to sharpen her claws on my sewing machine tote. It's kind of a coarsely woven tapesty type fabric and I don't think she does any harm, so I let her. I love that she comes into the sewing room with me when I sew and has her own basket under the window.

Nancy, my Bista likes to sharpen her claws on me! LOL! She's the most loving cat I've ever met, and also the roughest when it comes to playing.

A studio isn't a studio without a cat in it, is it?

Hmm. She looks like mine, too!

There are alot of those tuxedo's around!

Have you ever seen the web site "cats in sinks" or something like that? It's hundreds of our felines posing in the sink. And I thought my cat was so unusual doing it!

Haven't seen that, Lynn. I'll have to look for it. Bista likes to sit in DH's bathroom sink. Our other cat, Jazzy, likes to sit on the counter in my bathroom and stare at me until I turn on the tap for her to have a drink. The water hits her on the back of the head and then drips off her nose into the sink, where she licks it back up. Silly girl.

I use a sheet of 4' x 8' foam insulation board as my deisgn wall, and I covered it with felt.

The felt is attached to the design wall with T-pins, which are available at most any sewing store. One box should be plenty.

This method is durable -- My felt has been attached this way for about 5 years and it has never become loose.

I used white felt, but Kaffe Fassett or his assistant recommended on Simply Quilts that the background be camel-colored.

My Design Wall hangs from the ceiling. A couple of eye hooks in the ceiling, a clothes line, and curtain clips from Ikea and a piece of Flannel. total outlay about $15.
