I'm just sick about what I think I did last week. I put a quilt top and backing (just needed batting!) in a plastic bag in my van to drop off at the quilter. Didn't end up going, and left bag in the van for return trip. Guess what? I can't find the bag with the top and back and I think I may have tossed it! 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!

I hope it turns up, but I have to say I've done things like that. :(

Ohhh, I feel so badly for you! Did you check your garage?
I'm so sorry :( Don't beat yourself up though- it was an innocent mistake.

So sorry. I hope you find your quilt top.

Talk about stupid. I once threw my purseinto a huge dumpster. I didn't find out until many days later that I could have called the number on the dumpster and gotten it back. I had to cancel credit cards, get a new driver's license, and ATM card. What a mess. Boy did I feel dumb.

A gentleman in our area tells a horror story of someone who put their quilt in a green garbage bag...you guessed it - out in the trash it went.

Oh dear, sorry to hear. I have done something similar very recently. My friend brought me an antique quilt someone made for her grandmother. I was to take it to my quilting class because the instructor repaired old quilts. I remember my friend leaving it on my kitchen table. That's the last I saw of it. I felt and still feel so awful. She was nice about it, but still, I feel like I let her down. Hubby and I can't remember anything else except her leaving it on the table. We speculate it got thrown out. So I do feel your pain.

Oh my; how sad for you. That would freak me out.

Thanks for your stories and sympathy. Its comforting to share with people who understand. You guys are the best!

have heard this type of story so many times over the years...best to get a CLEAR bag from bedding and use that...or even a dry cleaners bag that you can put over a hanger!

Hope it shows up for you!
