Of course....all the time...especially patterns...once I paper pieced blocks for a whole quilt and when I started piecing it together I was missing about one third of the blocks...I could have sworn I had enough but just couldn t find any more anywhere so.... made some more. I few months passed I found the missing blocks in a pile of fabric and I now have a bunch of blocks and have no intention on making a second quilt...thy are still waiting for me to do something with them...lol

So happy to know I am not the only one who has so many safe places that are invisible.

that is the reason most of us have multiple seam rippers, pins, marking tools, etc., etc., etc.,...........

Ugh, I do that all the time. Right now my sewing room is such a mess that none of my cats want to be in there! That tells me it's really bad
Hope you find a solution to your current problem!

One fateful day, a customer came in and bought $240.00 worth of merchandise. He handed me two one hundred dollar bills and two twenty dollar bills. I thought i had put them in my purse.

When I went to the bank to deposit the money, I could not find it. I retraced my steps; post office, water office, pharmacy. No money. I asked the post office to go through the bottom of the letter boxes and they did. Nothing.

I had several employees go through my purse and look. Nothing.

So I figured that I could stand that loss and I should just keep on going, after all whoever had that money probably needed it more than I did.

I was on my way to some meeting when I got thirsty and stopped at a convenience store to get my all time favorite: Dr. Pepper. When I reached into my purse to get some money to pay for the Dr. Pepper, I pulled the $240.00 out. I still have no explanation, unless we put it in the category of looking straight at it and not seeing.

I keep mine right next to my ironing board so its nearby. Don't use it often but nice to have it when I need it.

It happens to me all the time. These days I put it down to age, but over 30 years ago I couldn't find a Volvo estate car in a multi story car park; and it had bike racks on the top! I looked on the level I'd left it and then every other level and back to where I was sure I'd left it............... still no car so I phoned a friend to say the car had been stolen and to pick up the children from school, I had to find a public phone in those days. Went for a final look before I phoned the police and there was the car, just where I'd left it. Go figure!

It's nice to know this is a common problem! I do think I'm getting worse all the time tho! I have two pedometers because one is always missing for a short while. We went on vacation and managed to keep both of them around the whole time til we got home and I haven't been able to find either A month later I bought another and the others still haven't appeared. I won't even go into the missing things in my sewing room...

I'd like the quilter here who hasn't lost things to stand up and be counted!

PS stop looking and it will appear....

I found everytime I move something from its original place to a safe place, then I cannot find that safe place, now when I move things around I have a book that I keep a record of where my latest safe place is, and it helps. Although after saying that, there are still some things (larger items - like completed appliqued quilt blocks) that I still cannot find, which was moved to a safer place, before my book.
