Fabulous bag! I have two nephews with Autism and I have just strated working with a lovely girl of 17 who is Autistic.

She comes to my workroom and sews with me every Saturday. She has refused to go to the adult ed centre in the Autumn, although she has just left school - so her Mother and I are working on her coming to work for me several days a week as a needlewoman - she is lovely!!

Thanks a great site! Thanks!

There was an autism outing at SAC over the winter. That was the last time one of my magnets was stolen. I think they hit almost every car out there. Probably a dumb employee pulling a prank or something.

Love your quote. I have a t shirt that says cooking and cleaning are for people who have not discovered quilting and I always say sleeping takes up too much good quilting time. It is a fun hobby!!
