Every time I look for something in my sewing room, I find something else. I try to keep all my patterns together (when I am finished with them) but generally they are with the fabric I purchased to make "whatever" in the pattern. Right now I am missing the pattern for a flannel "rag" jacket - not in the bag with the fabric and definitely not in the basket with the other patterns.....oh well.....I did find my Yellow Brick Road pattern - luckily it is with the yellow/blue fabrics I purchased.

If you find the pattern and the teflon sheets - could you send me my add-a-quarter ruler? I can't seem to find it in my sewing room!! Good luck on the hunt!

Did you find the pattern you were looking for? If not, I can send you a copy of mine.

Glad you found it. !!! You sound like me .. I put things up so they won't get lost and then it's a nightmare to find them when I want the item. We just moved so LOTS of things are put up.. LOL
Take some pics so we can see your project.. :D

Don't want to start any problems, but may I gently point out that this is a copyright pattern.

You have inspired to to search again!

We once found my late husband's missing wallet in the freezer. My mother found her missing spectacles in the fridge. I hide my stuff in a place called "Somewhere", never fails. Except just before Xmas. I was looking for a plushie pattern I've made several times before. Spent two days going through all my magasines and files. When I was ready to give up I decided to take one more look in a cardboard box labelled Paper Patterns. It was on top. Definately not "somewhere" as expected. That was the limbo of my panic week.

oh boy.. how sweet.. isn't it great to have a sister that also quilts? how much fun the two of you must have..

Glad the pattern is safely waiting with your sister! Makes me believe there is hope for those lost things we keep looking for!

Maybe it was your husband's subtle hint that it was time to stop quilting and start cooking, lol! Funny story :D

All your stories are too funny. I loose stuff ALL THE TIME! My quilting friend used to say it's the sewing room grimlins! They carry stuff off, or hide it in a spot you'd never think to look. Just mischeif-making! LOL
Thanks, All, for a good laugh. And so glad the pattern is found!
