I took a class on applique. I had done the center of a small wall hanging. I took it to work to work on it during my break. After break, I put it in my desk drawer. I was busy and forgot about it. The next week, I couldn't find it to take to class. I looked everywhere. I thought I had put it in my desk drawer, but it wasn't there. So I had to make another top and applique. It is still only half done. About 8 or 9 years later, I retired. I was cleaning out my desk. For some reason, I reached behind the back of my desk drawer and there was my quilt top and applique.
