Hello Friend,
Happy Friday! Grab your coffee, secure your bobbins, and for the love of Aurifil, please check your tote bags — because today’s story is one for the retreat history books.
THE GREAT DENTURE MYSTERY OF 2025
Last weekend, while we were all minding our business, stitching away and pretending calories don’t count at retreats, someone’s dentures decided to go on an unauthorized field trip.
Yes. You read that correctly.
Not scissors. Not readers. Not a seam ripper.
Teeth. Missing. In action.
THE TIMELINE (according to witnesses)
The owner — whose identity will remain anonymous unless she outs herself (LINDA) — began retracing her steps like she was starring in CSI: Quilt Retreat Edition.
She searched:
✔ Inside her rotary cutter case (…why)
✔ The communal scrap bin (…double why)
✔ Under every bungee chair
✔ The quilts on the longarm machines (...ummm)
Friends… the teeth were STILL MIA.
At this point, I’m considering adding a “Removable Parts Buddy System” to all future retreat check-in forms.
COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN
Because we are a team:
Check your bags. Then check again.
Shake out any borrowed supplies (gently… nobody needs flying bobbins)
Inspect your leftover brownie containers — just in case
And report any suspicious, tooth-like objects IMMEDIATELY
The retreat center has been notified. Yes, the front desk laughed. Yes, she is now invested.
OUR NEW MOTTO
“Check it twice — you might be going home with more than fat quarters.”
And honestly? This is why I adore our quilting community. We roll with the chaos, we laugh until we snort, and somehow we still manage to finish projects and make lifelong memories… even if we temporarily misplace our ability to chew.
Stay stitchy, stay smiling, and stay organized,
Donna
P.S. To the genius who suggested we create a Lost Dentures Quilt Block — I want to be mad, but I can’t.
P.P.S. Linda says if you find them, she will ask NO questions about where they were. NONE. 🤐
