Fine deleted contact list

After 4 hours of completing a new list, i deleted it I used time machine to go back, it was there! but some how I could not bring it to now. each time it would only have the regular lists appear. Tried to go back farther it won't have the new data. Note went to Contacts first, then time machine.
