    That same ghost resides in my home,also. My ex hung my car keys up high on a nail on the kitchen wall. HOURS! My most frustrating day that year. Kitchen table or fridge I could understand. Two feet above my head does'nt work well.

    I now look on the floor first when looking for fabric pieces....they don't make noise when they fall.


    Age is now 73.

    I have to say that my darling kitty purrson Divo, (my Avatar) would be TOTALLY guilty of plucking it off the cutting table, running and hiding it somewhere!!
    Right now we're searching high and low for his collar!! Hmmm......
    I sincerely hope you find it soon! I have been in this dilemma more times than I care to remember!! Good luck!!

    Have had that happen to me as well, then when I made another one there it was. Now I swear that a garment I made for myself & even have wore it & laundered it, now I can not find it anywhere. Total mystery. Have been thinking about making and one.

    That has happened to me several times. I usually find it behind my cutting table. Or in the trash. Usually I find it after I have made another. Good luck.

    Have had this happen to me several times -- frequently the phone rings, I run to get the phone and the block goes ????? When packing up my sewing room for a move I was hoping to find the missing blocks, scissors, rulers, ... Now I hope to find them when I unpack since all of the lost and wayward items were put in a single box for safe keeping.

I discovered the block was missing after the garbage was picked up...

    Now I check the waste can before tossing the contents into the household waste. Lesson learned.
    The garbage can was my thought, too, only because I've caught fabric pieces falling into mine when the piece moving through the sewing machine drags it. I now try to remember to move the can farther into the room so anything which falls or rolls off the desk will land between it and the desk, instead of inside the can.
