I get it about people losing a package of rotary cutter blades or whatever in their sewing room.
I got a really nice small oval quilting hoop, about 18" long, about a month ago at a free swap place. I know it was small because I also got a large one,24", the size I usually hand quilt on. I thought, GREAT, this will be perfect for wall quilts.
So I got a customer's wall quilt that I need to quilt, do you think I can find that small hoop? NO - I tore apart the sewing room, found I have FOUR large oval hoops and 3 round ones, no sign of the one I want. Looked under and behind all the furniture, looked everywhere I could think of. We are talking about a 4 room, 700 sq. ft. house, not like there are a lot of places it could hide.
I am convinced that Emily, our resident spirit, is hiding it on me. She is rather mischievous.
