I can't find it ANYWHERE!!!! AAAACCCKKKKK!!!!

So, any ideas? I've looked over the quilt, my clothes, under the small chest behind me, throughout the chair where the dog sleeps... sigh... I've found a number of pins I didn't know I'd dropped and have discovered I REALLY need to move furniture to sweep and dust.

What do I do? help????
