Why do they always want more for a table like that than one with a machine and cabinet?

Nancy, Those tables do make a good cutting table. My DH put a door across the legs and made a table for me but also had to mount the legs on a 2X4 to raise it up to cutting height. I love mine.

Since everyone here is quilting at one time or another thought I would show you how my brain works.

Valerie, I doubt very much they are being reproduced to dupe newbie collectors. They are probably being reproduced just as a gimmick to sell something different!
Nancy I don't know who imports these to the US but I just saw one in a local Craigslist add. Not the pretty butterfly decals so I won't bother :) |

You don't want to know how many ways to spell or pronounce Miriam - but when I call you on the phone you will know it is I.

Some people even manage to mess up Sharon...they add extra letters or just spell it totally wrong. Someone tried to shorten it to Shar....not gonna happen. I've had it spelled Sharron,Sherrin,Sharyn.... My sister is Kathy so she gets it. All the variations on Weaver are just ridiculous.

I always tell them Anamaria, that is my name. I have been called Ann, Maryann, Annemarie, Ana, etc. And no one gets the spelling correct, I have 4 name badges, all with a different spelling. The one name that I always makes me stop and look is "mom" out of habit. When the 3 kids were small, I even thought my name was "Mom" :)
Well Nancy is pretty hard to mess up. I have never been called anything but Nancy, although, sometimes people want to spell it with an 'i' or an 'ie.' Well sometimes people want to call me 'Nanc' even my brothers do that - so I don't mind! Nancy |

Ha I know what you mean about the Mom thing. One time about 30 some years ago. Ahem. I was at a factory fabric sale. :D I was wondering around buying fabric - I had my hand on a kid's head for a while. Then he looked up and I looked down - wasn't my kid. :o He was the right height, his hair was sorta right, he had on a blue coat... LOL I betcha you don't wanna do that these days... Oh and my kid wasn't along.
