ramona-quilter Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 First, let me apologize for using this forum as an APB. That is still cop-talk for All Points Bulletin, isn\'t it? Maybe I have been watching too many black & whitew crime dramas. :D:P A few days ago, beachbobbinquilting posted about a batting holder that her DH made. It holds 5 rolls of batting and cones of thread. I would love to see a photo and know more about this storage device. My DH is handy and he can build anything if he sees the plans or even a photo. I sent a U2U to beachbobbinquilting 4 days ago but no answer yet. beachbobbinquilting, please email or U2U me about the batting storage. Thanks.

Mary Beth Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I printed out that picture of the batting holder to give to DH for a honey do project...let\'s see that is in line after hanging the brackets like Carole Lyon has for her CL. I think I will need to make him a notebook i would love to see a picture of a batting holder/thread holder too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 No this one was posted last week and held 5 rolls of batting. I can fit a king and a regular under my machine but I need more storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Butler Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Linda, Here is her posting, but I didnt see a picture. It\'s under the topic "where did you put your machine" In the topic MY STUDIO!!!! beachbobbinquilting Moderator -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 20 Registered: 9/9/2007 Member Is Offline posted on 4/14/2008 at 03:55 PM I convinced my husband to move all the furniture out of the living room. Made it tight elsewhere, but I have room. I have a Millie with a 14 foot table. He also made me an A-frame for a batting rack which holds 5 rolls of batting, and the A-frame also holds 250 cones of thread. Then he made another table, with a layer of batting and muslin on top for pressing tops and backs. It also has a couple of shelves. The shelves I use for my various cutting mats and templates. My sewing machine and serger also went into the quilting room along with a small TV. I also have a pie safe which holds various tools I do not need on a daily basis, but use frequently. Unfortunately, my fabric stash is still in theguess bedroom, and the chest of drawers holds unfinished projects that I\'m slowly clearing. The closet....well, I hope no one needs to hang much up.....that\'s where the fabric goes. I do have a small chest of three drawers for guests to use which I do keep empty. We live near the beach so we have lots of company. Everyone is impressed when they walk in and see my living room/now quilting room. And we finally sold some of the furniture so everything fits nicely into our house. I\'ll try to take a picture, if you\'re interested in my A-frame. I love it. Easy to roll the batting out, and keeps it neat. Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramona-quilter Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I would love it if you would post a photo. I sent a U2U to her last week and she still has not read it. She said in her post that she was willing to share a photo or plan but I can\'t reach her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Linda, I couldn\'t find the one I had saved. It looked like a giant sandwich board - you know what I mean...anyway I went to google images and found two. Here is the first one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 but check this one out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Wow, Mary Beth, those are cool storage solutions. I bet that the first one has to be attched to the wall so it does not fall down but wow the rolls of batting you can fit on that. I alos like the second one because of the side storage for those big templates and rulers. I think that i will email vicki welsh and see if she knows where the plan came from. Thanks, MB, you are a search engine virtuosa.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nineva Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 The second one is built and sold by a quilter wife and husband team. I bought one from them and love it. It is on big heavy duty wheels and rolls like a dream. i can move it by myself loaded up with batting. it holds three full rolls of batting and five if you have used some of the roll. It has a built in ledge for using your rotary cutter for cutting the batting too. I use the top to hold my mega ironing board, that I made myself from the packing boards the batting rack was shipped in. You have to put it together, but it took my honey less than 30 minutes. There are only a couple of parts. The roll holders are adjustable so you can fit in any size roll. Isn\'t it cool? I even paid the moving company to include it in my shipment cuz I don\'t wanna live without it. :D:D Nancy Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
