RARE Science works directly with patient families and foundations to find more immediate therapeutic solutions for children with rare diseases. 

This year RARE Science is partnering with TQS (and a number of other great organizations) to bring you... the FIRST Ever Celebrity RARE Bear Auction!  This is your opportunity to own a signed bear made by the quilt world's most talented artists while helping a great cause.

Meet "Artsy" by Melody Crust

Artsy is definitely not shy when it comes to entering a room. She is bright, bold and loves wearing all of her pink bling. When it comes to embellishment, Artsy’s motto, ‘More is More,’ is worn with absolute confidence and pride. Richly encrusted with hand-embroidery, hand-beading, ruched ribbons, dyed to match vintage crochet medallions, buttons, sequins, and so much more, she is truly a sight to behold. This divinely encrusted girl will definitely make a statement in your home.

Star Members can watch Melody in Show 1706: Textural Backgrounds, Appliqué on Silk & Straight-Line Quilting.
