How wonderful and exciting for both of you! It is a lovely quilt and one that holds such special memories! May there be more special moments ahead for you both!

Like someone said previously, this post made my day...it is fantastic that you two were able to share that moment! And, the end result is beautiful!

Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!

Oh, Donna, what a beautiful experience with Melissa. Especially sharing something so important to you. I hope this will be the beginning of more time together sharing the love of your daughter, and the love of your hobby!

That is such a touching story! I am so proud for you both! It is those moments that make it all worthwhile! Every time you look at that quilt, you will remember how special it really is! Your daughter is a beauty and a blessing!

What a wonderful thing!! The granddaughter of a dear friend, and my grandson (by marriage) are both autistic. Alexandra lives in Washington State so I don't get to interact with her, and Bradley is 800 miles away but their Mama's make sure I get pictures and stories to keep up to date on them. I'm looking for just THE most perfect material for Bradley's quilt. I had thought of using the Autistic Line of fabrics but he leans more to Super Heroes!!

Awesome quilt and awesome daughter with a beautiful mind! As many have said, they are both beaming!

Thanks for sharing. Both Melissa and her quilt are beautiful.

Wonderful :thumbup:

OMG,I have tears in my eyes.This is such a special connection.WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What an AWESOME post to start my day :) Crying tears of happiness for both of you.

What a wonderful story. So happy for both of you.

that is a very special quilt. So happy for you and your daughter.

that is, indeed, one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen. (i have three grandsons, all of whom are autism spectrum/learning disabled. and when they find something that is common ground, and join in, it's like hearing music.) i hope melissa stays with the quilting, and can begin to make it her own. you may have found a "partner in crime"!

Beautiful daughter, wonderful quilt. I am so happy for you.

The making of great memories:)

What a great & humble way to start my day. This post was very touching I thank you for that. We all take so much for granted & you made us realize how lucky many of us are & have to be reminded that sometimes the best things in life are some of the simplest things in life. Wonderful story & a lovely quilt. Your daughter is absolutely "beaming".

What a wonderful memory and I hope many more to come. And The smile on Melissa face says it all. Beautiful quilt. Please let Melissa know how proud we are of her for helping you do a great job.

Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing. It truly is a special quilt with a special daughter, as all daughters are. You may have started a spark of interest in a future quilter. What fun that would be, working side by side.

What a wonderful story!! That is truly an accomplishment for Melissa. Your quilt is beautiful, and she couldn't look any more proud.

What a wonderful story. Your daughter is just beautiful and you can see how happy she is with her pretty quilt. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome quilt and beautiful daughter. She has been watching you all this time and decided this was the one she was going to help with.

What a wonderful story. It's a beautiful quilt, your daughter is beautiful and you may have found a new quilting partner/assistant.

Oh my gosh, what a thrill for you. How did you stop from grabbing her and giving her a huge hug? I'm sure that would have broken the spell, magic or whatever it was helping her along, but it would have been a great temptation! So happy for you and her.

I have a 25 year old autistic nephew - I understand your exuberance. You now have a quilting buddy forever. Be prepared to find her own creativity emerging. I am SO happy for you.

What a wonderful story, lovely quilt and a darling daughter.

Great job for both of you! Glad she got involved!

Both are like shinny new pennies, how wonderful that you can share this talent with her. each step they make is a gold star event. God bless both of you.

You and your helper did a great job on the quilt! I'm sure your daughter will love to help you in the future. I wish both of youmany years of making quilts together!

Heart warming story and beautiful quilt.

Now that is a truly wonderful Mother-Daughter project! Kudos to you and Melissa! Very special!

I so agree with you on this touching story. It even brought tears to my eyes as I could picture her working with you. What a wonderful experience for both of you.

We just never know what will touch someone, do we ? Very nice quilt.

Used to work with handicap people and this is a step forward, Great for both of you.

What a great story and what a great quilt. You will remember this time every time you use it.

What a sweet story and yes, she looks so very happy. You touched her, she touched you and now we have all shared your joy of making this quilt. Congratulations.
