purposeful and meaningful work. it is the desire of most humans, yet not something that can be taken for granted when you are an adult with a developmental disability. my husband and i have worked tirelessly to make this quilt shop a reality for our sarah. we have been met by challenges and roadblocks. along the way though, we have learned that the rewards are so much greater than the frustrations and the sacrifices we've made. our lives are much richer for the experience.
today, i had the pleasure of watching two of our customers meet sarah for the first time. my observation is they too felt an enrichment from the encounter. i am so humbly thankful that we found a new space to continue forth that effort.

Laurie George Joyce, I live in Dallas, so will not be likely to visit your store, plus I am not a quilter. However, I follow your posts on FB because I so believe in what you are doing for Sarah and for your customers. One of my cousins told me about you, and she loves your store. Am so glad that you were able to relocate and reopen. BTW, I have a daughter with autism - moderate level of functioning.
