Oh, I feel for you. Have done things like that so many times over the years. A good magnet will help and you will be able to laugh about this later. Hey I upset the same shelf four times last year and had shards of pottery all over my sewing room, I'm still finding little pieces and I've vacuumed a gazillion times. Don't be too hard on yourself, we've all been there and will be again.

While re-reading this thread, I have an idea. Auto supply places have this no-slide mat that folks will put over the fender so they put tools on it. My dad showed it to me - stuff does NOT move.
Maybe you can put something like this on the table so stuff doesn't move quite so easily. I may try this on my next sewing adventure...

Dreamer, I don't have a brain injury, but I do have "fibrofog" (ditzyness caused by fibromyalgia). I had to change my attitude. When I lose something I need, I assume its because there's something I'm missing that I didn't realize. When I have an "interruption", like your pin explosion, I figure I was just getting ready to make a really big mistake and need to do something else for a bit.
It's sort of an "Angels Watching Over Me" point of view. They say its not what happens to you, but how you handle it that is important. Remember, we're not as smart as we thought we were when we were early 20's!: ) Take care.

What are you talking about? I don't have a brain injury and I have done that, several times actually. Don't be so hard on yourself. I have done this so many times I went out and bought a magnet to pick up all the pins. Also my cat has done this. Unfortunately she can't pick up the pins.
From all the pictures you have posted you are doing an amazing job quilting. I admire you.
