I misplaced a pattern once that I was working with. Luckily, I had read it and could remember what I needed to do to finish. Sometime later I found it in the middle of a quilt book. Apparently, I laid the pattern over an opened book and then closed the book.

Looks like your cat in your picture is patiently waiting too. LOL I've done this many times and yes it will turn up.

So, after about 6 times going thru every shelf and drawer in my sewing room, and looking in lots of other places outside the room, I gave up and turned it over to God. He will put it in my sight!
So, I am waiting...........!! Patiently.......

Been there done that. So God did not want me working on it at that time. When He is ready, I will find it and probably move in a different direction with it than I intended. Who am I to argue with God!

I had to laugh...I was in the middle of reading this thread, when my teen son came to INSIST I help him find part of his soccer uniform. (THis time, its not me..I quit washing his clothing because I got yelled at for it daily...SO satisfying to look him in the eye and say...I DON"T DO YOUR LAUNDRY!) SO..its not just YOU...hehehehehe.
When this happens to me, I usually just start organizing my area. I find what I'm looking for within about 10 mins- AND I have a cleaner area! One time I looked for a book..a pink book. When I found it? The cover is actually BLUE!
:::SIGH:::: good luck!

So glad I am not the only one, my Great-Granddaughter came into my sewing area, saw a wildly colored baby quilt that is one row from having the tope completed. She looked at it and said "Mine!" so it is. The last row is gone. cannot find it. Hope it turns up in time to finish for Christmas
