My friend Dr. Ramona Bates, a plastic surgeon in Arkansas is not only a prolific and famous medical blogger, but is also an acclaimed quilter. I can personally attest to the beauty and quality of her quilts as she was kind and generous enough to send a very pink quilt for my daughter.

The eye-catching, exquisitely crafted Hawaiian Lobster Appliqué quilt that you see above is inspired by the blogosphere’s most famous crustacean, our own Zippy the Lobster who in turn was created by another good friend Dr. Rob Lamberts after the entire medblogging community was affected by Henry’s story.

Today, Ramona has announced that the quilt is being put up for auction for the charity called the Childhood Brain Tumor Foundation. Click on the link below or on the picture of the quilt for the story of the quilt and the rules for the silent auction.

Suture for a Living: “Silent” Charity Auction

The item being auctioned is this wall hanging quilt. It is a Lobster Hawaiian Appliqué.  It is 41 in X 41 in.  It is machine appliqued and machine quilted.  There is hand embroidery around the appliqued edges. For the entire story (and more photos), see the previous posts here and here and here.
