			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anybody who&#8217;s anybody in the medical blogosphere knows that <a href="http://rlbatesmd.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Dr. Ramona Bates</a>, besides being a plastic surgeon, is a master quilter of the first order. It&#8217;s also no secret that she&#8217;s a great person and supports so many bloggers with kind words and commentary.  However, her kindness totally went to the next level when she offered to make my daughter a &#8220;crazy quilt&#8221; from leftover fabric that had fun animals, bright colors, etc. that would be great for kids to relate.  </p>
<p><a href="http://enrico.smugmug.com/gallery/6136319_ttrsq" target="_blank">Here is the gallery where the quilt pictures are</a> (plus some more from the same few days). I got an account on <a href="http://www.smugmug.com" target="_blank">SmugMug</a> a couple of months back because that&#8217;s where I really felt my &#8220;good&#8221; photos should live because I&#8217;d have control over the design, layout, etc. unlike Flickr. That said, I&#8217;m still moving stuff over slowly (read: barely) but feel free to bookmark the main gallery and check back as photos will be populating regularly. </p>
<p>Ramona sent a nice card with the package, but one thing that stuck out was that she wanted the quilt to actually be used, not (I assume) tacked on a wall&#8211;or worse yet, left in a drawer. To that end<a href="http://www.vimeo.com/1876746" target="_blank"> I made a small video of my daughter with the new quilt</a> that very evening. It&#8217;s nothing fancy, the lighting was off (it was almost bedtime, so only indoor light) and I overlooked correcting for WB or gain in the camera, but that&#8217;s not the point&#8211;the point was to show Ramona that her gift was received with the same care and affection with which it was sent, used immediately and often, and treasured forever.</p>
<p>Thanks Ramona! <img src='http://www.mexicomedstudent.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
