Cutting and sewing were done on 1 table, ironing was done on another table.
We sat facing each other at the sewing table.
Except for trips to the bathroom and one trip to the refrigerator for our already-prepared lunch, we didn't move from this space.
We have searched the trash cans, all the fabric scraps, under the machines, on the floor on our hands and knees, in our pockets, behind/under/in everything we can think of, even the 'frig and the bathroom sink....
and no scissors.
The quilting gremlin got them, obviously.
If you see him, bash him on the nose for us!

If this were me, I would go look for them in the refrigerator, and that's where I would find them. I have a bad habit of carrying things around and setting them in strange places. If I could channel all the energy I waste looking for things into quilting time, I would be the fastest quilter in the West!
