I got to see Dr. Susan Mech on SQ this morning and thought she was wonderful. She had some fine ideas on how to be a quilter without doing yourself bodily harm. Some of her suggestions were probably out of the question such as the height she recommends for the bed of the SM is mighty low. Mine is already on a drafting table set as low as it will go at 25". To get it any lower, I've asked DH about digging a hole in the sewing room floor. The good news is the exercies she showed us that we can all do and should once an hour. Here ya go: Yes. Lean your head straight back looking up at the ceiling and then down until your chin reaches whatever it reaches. Slowly. Gently. We are not warming up for the Super Bowl. Three times, that's all. No. Turn your head to left and right as far as it will easily go. Maybe. Just an easy-going shrug. Yes, no and maybe three times. And, if exercise to you means losing weight, she says if you will sit up straight you'll look 5 pounds lighter. Thank you for your kind attention. I'm off to look for the shovel. Polly
