I've lost my quilting gadgets

Oh Di!

Poor you! I can't imagine how I'd survive a loss like that! I hope you manage to replace all the lost items with far better ones and can I suggest that you have a special labelled container to keep the new ones in? Hopefully, it'll never happen again.

Sending warmest commiserations,

Oh Di, when you said you lost them I thought you ment that they were in a 'safe' place not that they were actually gone from the house. Maybe the girls can give you early Christmas and bithday presents.

When we moved here 13 years ago, a plastic bin with some of my quilting treasures and a hatbox that had belonged to my late father went missing. It's really upsetting, I know. But now that you know your things are truly gone, you can have some fun shopping for exactly the right replacements. Don't settle for what you can get quickly, either! ;)

Hopefully you can get even better sewing things than the missing ones! Barbara in SC

Howdy!

Address, please.

You need more than just "replacements"; you need some new treasures: I've just cleaned out my pyramid cabinet where many supplies are housed.

are unused items that I know will be happy to find a new home.And, I suspect, you need a little something to help cushion the shockof losing your own treasures. Yes, I'm aware that you are many miles away, Di; I haven't sent apkg to AU in a lonnnnnng time. Happy to share the goodies. Ragmop/Sandy

Di,

Don't give up hope - I had had a small take along project due to be a gift for my DGS in the boot of my car and then couldn't find it anywhere, like you just after DH had dropped some stuff off at the charity shop. I phoned the shop and also called in to talk to them with no luck.

However my project eventually turned up at home under a load of coats that had also been in the car and the whole lot had come into the house together. I was SO happy as it wasn't just the project but the tools & scissors with it that were also special to me.

Fingers crossed that you stuff turns up at an unexpected moment for you.

Good afternoon (in Aust) to all:

Thank you for your lovely messages - it makes me feel stressed I can assure you.

I have started to make a list of the gadgets I think I need to replace apart from the obvious ones. My DH said to replace what I want - little does he know that I have my list.

Roberta, fortunately I still have my mats - very big down to 1ft. square which fitted into my bag but wasn't in it.

Dee, I have already started my Christmas wish list with DH and the girls.

Sandy F, Slowly but surely I will get around to replacing them all.

Bobbie, I have begun looking around for the better quality gadgets and do intend to get a couple.

Sandy E, thank you so much for your generous offer.

Lizzy, I am still praying that someone reads my name and phone number and gets a 'guilty' conscience and rings me - but I wont hold my breath.

I'm looking forward to the shopping.

Cheers, Di

Hi all,

I have just reread my post below and it should read:

........it makes me feel LESS stressed ...................

I need a holiday I think.

When I read your message I "really" knew what you meant! Barbara in SC
