April is Autism Awareness month. April 2 is World Autism Day. Katrina's oldest son has Autism. I thought this little pin would be a nice and simple way to show your support for the families that have been touched with Autism.
-Start with some scraps of primary colored felt.
-Trace a puzzle piece on each color. I used a black marker and just made sure to cut all the black off. Don't worry too much because you put the pieces with the side that had the marker facing down.
-Cut each shape out.
-Cut out two oval shapes in another scrap felt piece.
-Hand stitch one of the puzzle pieces onto one oval. I just did a simple running stitch with two strands of contrasting embroidery floss. I positioned the piece to the top and center of the oval. I also left some space around the edge of the oval for the blanket stitching that finishes it off.
-Stitch a second piece.
-Stitch your third puzzle piece on.
-Stitch on your fourth piece on top of the other three . I did the yellow on top because I thought it gave it the most POP.
-Stitch your pin onto the other oval piece. 
-Layer the two oval pieces together.
-Sew a blanket stitch all the way around the ovals.
-Wear with pride.

Anjeanette, I love it!! I think this is so great! I can totally see stitching this on to a baseball cap or visor too. I am going to have to put this in my idea box for next years walk!

P.S Thanks always for all the support you and Rebecca have always given us.
