ROLMAO!

Most of the time I think things are hiding with what is left of my mind!

I have done the same thing so many times! It's nice to know I am not alone!

I'll bet that "Not Me" person that often visits my house has been to see you. He always returns my things but never leaves them in the same place I left them.

I was just going to ask if you had checked the refrigerator or the freezer. My things must get very warm because they have been known to go there.

Oh no it sounds like you have the dreaded sometimers also! I have it too. Sometimes I remember and sometimes I don't. Glad you found it.

Happy you found it, I know when something like that happens it's enough to drive a person nuts. :D

The Madison show is next weekend and I wanted to confirm I have everything I need so if I am short I can pick it up at the show at a decent price.

Can I find this book....no I cannot!
Relax and check out Eddie's tute! It is the best!
Now my house is not the picture of organization but I am a hoarder! I cannot find this book anywhere. I searched all 3000 sf on three floors plus the garage--my sewing room has been gutted and put back, I searched all three cars, I looked at both of my offices. NADA! I can only think of the attic or I loaned it to a friend.

I know that this happens to others, since today my GF gave me an adapter for my bias tape maker....she could not find hers needed it to finish a commissioned quilt and bought another one. I looked on Amazon and I can re-buy the book for 15 bucks. I am so tempted but know as soon as I do, the dang thing will show up!

Right now, I am going to stop looking and set the fabric aside as a UFO. I am not ready to cry uncle yet but if I haven't found it by Christmas, I will give.
