    Not mine!! not only does he help with the quilting (He sorted the five bags) but he never carries anything out unless I ask him too.

    And I know it never made it to the car, it was sorted here in the apt.

    I hate when that happens. Chances are, you forgot the white on white bag at home. When I was housesitting for my sister the last time, I looked high and low for a bag of background fabrics. I ended up driving 45 miles to a quilt shop to buy some so I could work on the project. After I got home, I discovered the tote bag with the missing fabric squashed between the seat and the door of the van! It was there all the time and it was the only door I hadn't opened.

    If it helps you are not alone, and I suspect there is treachery underfoot. I live in the South. Prior to Thanksgiving our guild spent a whole day cutting out blocks and strips for a mystery quilt. I brought everything home for my quilt and put it in my quilting area. We left for the holidays and when we returned and I went back to my guild meeting to proceed with the mystery quilt. I started sewing and only got half way through combining blocks before I realized I had no strips in the bag! The missing ones are white by the way. It has been two weeks now and they haven't turned up anywhere. I am going to go cut new ones today and then they will probably manage to sneak back into the house.
    I suspect they have been out cavorting with all the white socks that I have lost in the laundry over the years. Ann in TN

    I find that if I look in the last place I would think to look, that is where it is hiding. Hope you find it soon.
