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.......

I embroidered 12 Redwork blocks that I planned to set on point but since that required some thought and planning, I put these blocks in a zip lock bag and put them somewhere in my sewing room.
Looking for these, caused me to straighten and clean out much of my fabric, etc, and still haven't found them.
I guess they will show up someday.

I am no stranger to lost items. It seems I'm always looking for something. Don;t give up. Today I found some blocks for a baby quilt I have hunted 2 years. They were under some material in a plastic tote, upstairs. It is a good thing I was curious about making another quilt, or it would still be there. Now if I can find a quilted one ready to be bound I have been hunting for a year. That's pretty big to lose. It is no doubt in a storage box I haven aprehended yet. Keep looking.

I feel like I have been on a treasure hunt and and am so despondent that I have reached the end of the thread and you have not found the quilt top. Really sounds like my house though. Do you know where the insert for my small pressure cooker is?
