Thank you for stopping by Rag Queen Quilters blog, Sunday has been a special blogging day for us for awhile as we have been working on a special project. Some of you who have been following this know these quilts were made for a couple different charities that helped a fellow RQQ member who has a young daughter with cancer. This has been blogged as it progressed, and they are all done now so please look at all the members who donated and you can look at past Sunday blogs for more info.

  2. From the girls at Quilter's Corner Group (QCG), I would like to say that Lisa did a very wonderful job completing this huge project!

    From inception, discussing the charities with the family of the former RQQ member, calling out for donations, figuring layout, designing the quilts, appliquing all the bears, and now creating listing and handling the donations, she has done the lion's share of the work & deserves our warmest and heartfelt thanks for her generosity of time and most importantly, love.

    It was a pleasure to partner with RQQ in making Lisa's idea become reality in such a huge way!

    Lisa will be listing the quilt & you can check out all her listings by clicking here:
