This happens everyday and not just with fabric.

A couple of weeks ago, I spent 3 hours cutting out applique pieces, put them carefully into plastic bags, and then of course, put them carefully away so I knew exactly where to put my hands on them when I needed to use them. I need to use them now and do you think I can find them? I have spent the last 2 afternoons pulling my sewing room apart and no luck. It's those blasted quilting devils again!!! Don't you just hate when that happens?

Way too many times to tell you about. Sometimes I think I am crazy too!

More times than I can count. Eventually I find it though, sometimes when I am not even looking for it.

This happens to me sometimes, not only with fabric, but with my keys, a recipe, a pair of shoes, etc. A very good friend told me once when this happens to her, she goes to the kitchen, makes a cup of tea, and spends five minutes in prayer. She told me this never failed her. I have had great success with it myself, however, my faith is not as great as hers, so I still sometimes am in my panic when I go back to look.

Yep, quite regularly!

haa haa daily ~ so I'm determined to get it all organized better and sorted, and am finding fabrics I have outgrown while I'm sorting :) Guess its time for a de-stashing party here! I lost one of my focal fabrics once... it was maddening, had all the kids and hubby looking. Found it in the clean laundry basket, it had gotten tossed on top, then hubby brought up more clean clothes and "hid" it... :)

I spend more time looking for something than getting anything done..that's why I am on a mission of organizing my quilt room. Been working on it for 2 weeks now. As long as I do some every day it will get done, it will get done.......been finding stuff I didn't know I had.
