Morning all from a foggy St.John's. Hot tea and coffee should help all of you start the day.

Matt, unless your wife is really short, it needs to be more than 32 inches. I have a quilting table and mine is 34 inches and it would be better if it was the same as the kitchen counters which are 36 inches. I'm 5'4".

Best thing to do is do a bit of snooping and find where she shops for fabric for her quilts, call that store and ask the ladies there how tall their table is. Act like a dumb husband on a secret mission - you can do it

Another sneaky way to find out is just go into Walmart, find the fabric department, borrow a tape measure and measure the height of the cutting table - it will be the right height.

Your wife's back will really be happy and you'll win lots of browny points.

Take care, Margaret

Morning all - I'll just grab a cuppa and head out today - looks like a busy day.

Thanks for the tips, Margaret. Good ideas there. Her very part time job is at Fabricland, so I can try to casually find out if the cutting tables there are the right height, and go from there. Thanks!

Oh you poor man. How did she ever convince you that working at Fabricland was going to contribute to the wealth of your household?

If I worked at Fabricland, I'd be paying them, not the other way around

Take care, Margaret

Morning all. Awoke to a light nose bleed this morning. Sure hope this is not a repeat of the last episode. I'm going to prop up on the couch for an hour or so to see if it stops.

Margaret, you are too funny! I agree with you, working at Fabricland would certainly present a problem. Wonder what the employee discount would be.

Lotus has once again returned......and although we have no sunshine here in St.John's, the moods have turned bright once again. How is Life treating you these days, lotus?

Don, what is the main cause of these nosebleeds? Good luck, mon frere.

Good morning all! Finally a good night sleep for my wife and I last night since our daughter slept through the night. Since sometime last week when the whole thing with my mother in law started, she has been up six or seven times a night, so we have had little sleep on top of everything else.

With last nights sleep and lotus returning to the Shang, it must be a good omen for the day ahead. Hope your honker is doing better Don.
