Oh! Stress is the cause to not remember at all what you did with something right in your hands. Your mind was going too fast thinking of other things.
I have never sit a trash bag anywhere in the house just to sit there. Plastic bags from stores get thrown away as soon as they come in the house. I don't like or keep plastic shopping bags (or wire hangers, lol) If one is sitting out DH or the kids will know it's odd and will ask what is that?

I hope it turns up, but yeah, I would feel sickened by the loss. I never have put quilts into any kind of plastic bag. I have a quilted tote bag specifically for large quilts that are going anywhere out of the house. I learned from someone's loss years ago never to put them into garbage bags. Sorry you had to learn this lesson so painfully. :(

I feel so sick! :( Not just at the money I've lost, but at the loss of a gift for my brother. I keep praying it will turn up. Has anyone else done anything like this? I will NEVER EVER EVER put a quilt in a plastic bag from a discount store! I feel like I left a kid at the mall. Thanks for letting me vent!

Clear bags are definitely in order! My nephew's 3 girls did their 'school shopping' for new clothes on the way to their cottage. They put it all in a garbage bag for 'safe keeping' among the fishing gear, suntan oil, food, etc... (You've probably anticipated where this is going!) Yep, on the way home they run by the transfer station to toss the 'garbage'...
