I have lost books or patterns before and lots of time later, I found them inside a tub of fabric. You never know where they might show up but they probably will someday.
I am totally frustrated. I know I own two applique books, but don't have a clue where they are. I have been searching for days. I know what they look like, as I was thinking of buying them again, and I know that I didn't lend them out, as I don't have anyone around here to lend them to. One of them is pink, so it would stand out. I have two book cases, and I checked under the bed, as I read in bed. I bought them years ago... Ughhh

You all do realize there are Quilt Pixies living with us, don't you? They seem to arrive with our very first creative attempt. Sometimes they are very helpful, but this mischievous side of them can be quite vexing. Just ask them (very nicely, of course) for their help -- can't hurt!

I really needed all the laughs from the disappearance of my books.. I still haven't found them. I have been doing applique for a long time, so don't need the books for technique. I have tons of quilting books. I started on a story quilt about a good friend of mine, and wanted different ideas to incorporate onto it.. I get a lot of info from You tube, and the internet. I have a couple of Mary Lou Weidman's books which have taught me to think outside the box, and have fun with what I am doing..
Thanks for the cute dog comment.. Socrates is an awesome guy.. He is so very patient, and lets me quilt without bothering me. He just loves being there for me..

I am organizing my quilting magazines (looking for duplicates) - just ran into a "quilting book" inside a magazine.
My "approach to calm myself on my constant search for lost "gotta haves" is to say out loud three times, it's okay - I give up.
Many times it works.

I tend to re-buy books because I forget I've already purchased them. Although I did misplace 4 sets of Marti Michell's templates in the sewing room for about 2 yrs. because I put them where they would be easier to find when I needed them!
