I have a sturdy 6' folding table and put bed risers under the legs to bring it up higher. No more sore back!!!!

I would never be able to get up off the floor! I use the top of my chest freezer in the garage to cut fabric (when the weather is cool) or the top of my washer and dryer - just lay the cutting board over both of them. At times, I even used my kitchen counter.

Ah, memories of sitting on the floor with my sewing machine on the coffee table. Bless your back!

Ditto for me. When I get down there, I can't get back up. The old knees aren't what they used to be!!

A girl gotta do what a girl gotta do. Nothing will keep you away for the passion that you have for making quilts.

If only I had a good back and oh, knees to go with it. You are definitely a "diehard quilter".
