    Breath taking and thank you for donating it. We have a son who is on the autism spectrum also.
    He is 18 now and at a peroid in his life that is extra hard for all of us.

The quilt was king size and the picture only shows half of it. ) I just can't believe something I helped to make went for $1500 at a charity auction....
    I am so happy it got a good price.I live beside of a austic child with moderate down syndrome.I wish people around here would help in cases like these.I have seen severl austic children since I come in contact with my very awesome neightbor and her family.

    I know, right!!?? I also made a quilt last year (a throw) for an auction to raise money for our local firefighters. Makes you feel real good when they raise a good dollar, for charity! They called & asked if I could make one this year too, so at this moment, I am working on that!! Asking for a second quilt, is 'payment' for me!
