I could lose my rear if it wasn't attached so I know how you feel. I have recently learned to pray to St. Anthony and I find things all the time now. Give it a try.

Just in case you do not find them why not just tell her that you misplaced them and they will be a little late getting to her. Show her what you have already completed and tell her how it will look once you finish it. If she is a good person and I think she probably is, she will accept that. Let us know if you find them.

I feel your pain....because I misplaced two little girl's aprons.

I was commissioned to make a ruffled girl's apron. Didn't like the first one, so I made a second.

I put both in a zip top bag and placed in the car.

Sometime between placing them in the car and giving to the lady they disappeared. Simply vanished. That was 10 months ago.

I made another....and am hoping they show up sometime this year.

Go make yourself something that you are not supposed to have and it will come to you, and if it doesn't it is because you were supposed to give her something else. Besides Grandmas love whatever we make for them!

Prayers, relaxing, etc. - I couldn't agree more. But here's another suggestion:

Did you put them under something flat or possibly in a book to keep them flat until the others were done? Could be as one mentioned, that they're within inches of where you're looking.

My prayers too.

I always find that things are "lost" to me when I'm stressed. In this case, the quilting fairies know that if they give the pieces to you now, there might be mistakes and you'll spend even more time you don't have making things right.

Breathe. And remember how much time you're saving not having to do it all twice.

It's worked for me all my life. Except for those disappearing orphan socks from the dryer. That's not the fairies' doing, they told me so :D

Yes I have a friend who is a Atheist and she lost a check for 2000 dollars one time when i was working for her. i told the whole office to pray to St Anthony. In about an hr or so I ask her if she looked in a certain file. This file had nothing to do with this check and guess what, it was there.

I have done that, but I usually find them the minute that I stop looking for them.
