    I had the same thing happen. A friend gave me a tee shirt to back for a wall hanging. Iput it on my sewing chair and then "forgot" where I put it so thinking it was in with my stash with the fabrics I was using I totally re folded my stash 4hours later and a neater stash I found it under my shirt on the back of the chair. I forgot I moved the chair to the other sewing table! I have 2 chairs and didnt remember which chair it was on. lol. You will find it where you least expect to find it.

    Oh good. I'm not the only one. I cut sashing for 25 blocks, to take with me to retreat and finish the top. Got to retreat, and no sashing. I have not idea where it is.

    I have done everything but toss it all out of the window down to nekkid floors. No painters tape. I know I saw and had it in my hand. I had a "use" for it.

    Stop looking, trust me it is right in plain sight. Can't tell you how many times I have looked in a same place only to find it there the tenth time I've looked a few days later. It will show up.

    It's a shame. I can tell you with 100% accuracy where the two rolls are at my house in Texas.

    Plenty of sympathy here - been there, done that lots of times. It will show up, but not fast enough....

    My mother is 86 and is constantly putting her purse in a safe place in the house where no one will take it. No one can because she can't find it. Her caretaker spends about an hour a week looking for the safest place today. Sometimes under a coat, behind the bed, in the china cabinet and various other places no one would think to look. Works doesn't it???
