I need to know what color is going where, what the pattern is, etc., etc. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I've only done one <a href="http://mimispassions.blogspot.com/search/label/mystery%20quilt" target="_blank">mystery quilt </a> in the past and I have to admit that I really ended up loving it. It's just stressful while I am making it because of all the unknowns. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Well, I am jumping in again. </p><p style="text-align: center;">We needed 1 yd. very dark; 1 yd, med dark; 1 yd dark (I'm already losing my mind), and 3/4 yd medium. Then there is the 5 yards of a light that is needed for the background.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Well, I happened to have a 5 yard piece of fabric that I bought for a backing for something else and it really didn't work, but I thought now would be a good time to get that used up by buying fabric for this mystery that matched this backing that I really love. </p><p style="text-align: center;">These are the fabrics I picked out.

(photo heavy)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This quilt top has been done for a very long time......years, in fact. It was first put on the pile to be quilted by someone else and I wanted it to be custom. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(found my previous post on the finishing this top <a href="http://mimispassions.blogspot.com/search/label/Home%20Sweet%20Home%20quilt">here.</a> )</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then I got my own long arm back in 2013, so my excuse then was I have to wait until I felt good enough to do a good custom job on this.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If I were to guess, I would have said that it was from 2012; but one of my blocks proved me wrong and you will see why. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyways, custom always feels daunting, but as I do for my customers, you just have to put the quilt on the frame and take it once chunk (or block) at a time. Below you will see a blow-by-blow for each block. I do have to say that I feel very proud of myself. Is it perfect?, probably not; but I am very happy with it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Bead board, feathers and free hand for the borders.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Sister-in-law, brother-in-law, husband and myself. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Our goal was to go and visit the Stonehedge Fiber Mill in East Jordan , MI and check out their yarn shop. </p><p style="text-align: center;">As you can imagine, the guys weren't all that enthused about going to a yarn shop with us, but there were farm animals in the pen as we drove up and we told them to go have a look see while we shopped. We made it just in time, too. She had her whole little shop packed up to go the Ann Arbor Fiber Festival this weekend. </p><p style="text-align: center;">After we made our purchases....oh yes, there was some buying going on, we went out to check on the guys and they had just started a tour of the mill. </p><p style="text-align: center;">That was so exciting to see the whole process of them getting the wool, cleaning it, combing it, and what all they do to it before it becomes roving or skeins.

This is not a "usual" for me. I do one project and then start another. These two were bought at the same time and started at the same time. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I did have to finish the vest first because I ran out of yarn halfway through the project. Yikes! That is something you don't want happening, but between me and the yarn shop, we had trouble figuring out a substitute for the particular Norweigian yarn hat was used on the original pattern. Oh well, it worked out just fine.</p><p style="text-align: center;">This pattern is called the Weekend Slipover and worked up quickly and is so warm using the Blue Sky yarn along with mohair. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It needed custom quilting in my mind, so it intimidated me. Thus, it's been on the pile for a long time. Longer than I thought. I would have guessed 2012, but I actually have 2008 appliqued into one of the blocks....OMG!</p><p style="text-align: center;">That's ok though. I have the confidence now and the majority of it is quilted after six days of quilting. I got it to the point of taking it off the frame to turn it to do the last two borders (I just felt more comfortable doing it that way). </p><p style="text-align: center;">But....in the meantime, I had a customer who wanted a quilt done before a certain date, so I have squeezed in her quilt just as I was turning my quilt.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Fortunately, her quilt was a small one and I got it done in one day. </p><p style="text-align: center;">This is one of those 3 yard wonders.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy3KX-YfnDkqE0D2-CeFekP_63HXBs-VwP9t1L6p6O3f3aOnKic-ihv9e7BWem5YbswM6_U4yziseWW8utqinSvYE7ldybVVOTE-s7fHIxjUNRjApg9c4a_ExCFqOJ1zEfrtzwfaB3ducgMhUvN3BRFiFwmunPrmgukiog0eX5eB-eb0Vv3lOvNA49/s4032/IMG_7201.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy3KX-YfnDkqE0D2-CeFekP_63HXBs-VwP9t1L6p6O3f3aOnKic-ihv9e7BWem5YbswM6_U4yziseWW8utqinSvYE7ldybVVOTE-s7fHIxjUNRjApg9c4a_ExCFqOJ1zEfrtzwfaB3ducgMhUvN3BRFiFwmunPrmgukiog0eX5eB-eb0Vv3lOvNA49/s320/IMG_7201.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She used a fabric called Lucha Libre Wrestling by Michael Miller.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEvg-Ao63cq4sImF6JYv26B6RGAMgyOIxucF2h26jLDmO__jCngDh_ZK3nE3CIVZERcLiszVGdSTdc43644H8cMKBaxVVEYpu5qBq7avKHszhh4KAcWGCA2e29wyp6DEBS0KMcj9PfISfpSvhiXBxky0PwOHJaNMv34aSI91J7q0adJGGTeydwA8np/s4032/IMG_7202.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEvg-Ao63cq4sImF6JYv26B6RGAMgyOIxucF2h26jLDmO__jCngDh_ZK3nE3CIVZERcLiszVGdSTdc43644H8cMKBaxVVEYpu5qBq7avKHszhh4KAcWGCA2e29wyp6DEBS0KMcj9PfISfpSvhiXBxky0PwOHJaNMv34aSI91J7q0adJGGTeydwA8np/s320/IMG_7202.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used the Patriot panto by Urban Elemenz which had the star element to it that the customer suggested but it also made me think of the Bat Man "Ka-Pow" look to it, too. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijDVnRlWrsbueRTdlAF7-8TIZJsMiNqU7mAtxpbmCdQi1t7YMqMdeLEVw10YSCY5Zshh3tuPCN7UoUMVTV9xCyXLkXmWXHhoTs_Gq17mDA8E_OBVHbM0i02jUNomZVES8rYw5sovST-Puo22owvcgs0X7cTxVGQk-TpfoaKuq8qjkrOB2LvGtOeDq0/s4032/IMG_7203.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijDVnRlWrsbueRTdlAF7-8TIZJsMiNqU7mAtxpbmCdQi1t7YMqMdeLEVw10YSCY5Zshh3tuPCN7UoUMVTV9xCyXLkXmWXHhoTs_Gq17mDA8E_OBVHbM0i02jUNomZVES8rYw5sovST-Puo22owvcgs0X7cTxVGQk-TpfoaKuq8qjkrOB2LvGtOeDq0/s320/IMG_7203.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What's even nicer is that she almost always uses Minky for her backings and shows the quilting so well. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEGW8sH23nogVYyz5P3aKujCisxgCb6MTuuyeU3EbhNw0RG7QH1AdQI-KtCtTMERTQTY-heCoTIQGeVP3VdBvPIqO3e2HRrcMHVBsyDipJKwofB2woAQYhBhieIqSHwbin5Iv0P6OxDxxwL-mKzctNfH7raU_Tm9RFXlbeLnlq95GEGnZCbyKMswlZ/s4032/IMG_7204.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEGW8sH23nogVYyz5P3aKujCisxgCb6MTuuyeU3EbhNw0RG7QH1AdQI-KtCtTMERTQTY-heCoTIQGeVP3VdBvPIqO3e2HRrcMHVBsyDipJKwofB2woAQYhBhieIqSHwbin5Iv0P6OxDxxwL-mKzctNfH7raU_Tm9RFXlbeLnlq95GEGnZCbyKMswlZ/s320/IMG_7204.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, my quilt goes back onto the longarm tomorrow to finish those last two borders.

They take a lot of thought and a lot of time, so when you are doing customer quilts, my quilts (especially custom quilts) get set to the side and sometimes for a very long time. Probably the best way to describe that is procrastination. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well, I took off two months, last month and this month, to devote to these quilts when I have the time.....since summer is so busy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The first one got done because I was under pressure to get it done for a guild presentation.

There went my idea for quilting it. The size, the direction I had to place it on the longarm because of seaming on the backing just didn't make that idea conducive to getting this one quilted custom the way I wanted. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now what?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I loaded the quilt in anticipation for when I was ready to get to it, it was ready for me.

In other words, we worked on our own quilt from beginning to end.</p><p style="text-align: center;">We were to start out with any block, panel, embroidery or whatever. I had been wanting to try this block and was thinking of making a whole quilt out of this one block, but after putting all these numerous pieces together, I am happy with just one block. </p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgecdSyYlO6JaoJIdUC0d7mFce8jZDA_3WTpJdhrOCSlXtRnx-pPWGUZWTRg2ymCS5TrbGU-gJ9Il6_6iP0c1cCUL-E84cpYv9J_t9wraYy76tO9QWc4gQOhRMfm1nPtrF2rxrCUYHA0QRBehJWFTXpycaA40LopF0ND3ZTeGQ2AiUpIa6dwMbJW00k/s4032/IMG_6934.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgecdSyYlO6JaoJIdUC0d7mFce8jZDA_3WTpJdhrOCSlXtRnx-pPWGUZWTRg2ymCS5TrbGU-gJ9Il6_6iP0c1cCUL-E84cpYv9J_t9wraYy76tO9QWc4gQOhRMfm1nPtrF2rxrCUYHA0QRBehJWFTXpycaA40LopF0ND3ZTeGQ2AiUpIa6dwMbJW00k/s320/IMG_6934.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">The second month we were to add 9-patches. You could do regular or disappearing 9-patches.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Then it was half square triangles.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Next on the agenda was a snowball block. Ok....I could already see this quilt was going to be much bigger than I really wanted, so what I did was made my snowball blocks and then cut them in half.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Our next border (or however you wanted to add it) was something with curves. Well, I had a couple friends who were doing these circle blocks and I thought this would be a great time to give them a try and not have to make too many. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Then lo and behold, the last border was applique. Well, darn......I would have just done my circles for this row only, so instead I made more, but a little smaller. </p><p style="text-align: center;">So, now this quilt has been languishing on my "to-be-quilted" pile for some time. As a result of Covid restrictions and not many of our guild members meeting up when we DID get together, this challenge kind of got forgotten.......until last month.</p><p style="text-align: center;">They want us all to bring in our challenge at our final meeting in June. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Nothing like getting motivated to get this on the longarm and getting it done. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I didn't know how I was going to quilt this one, but as usual, I just loaded it and then started making decisions. Although I did put out some requests for ideas on how to quilt the dots. I had to start there before I could go any further. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUq5t8AhxWUyqcrX58Zt8zyRM-THmiP0GiqykdY2XDJ6klugkGnm4xk3ZJzqBQCc0Gi-mIq-jqAKB3yA6g7_hcClInOlSlKcwFpg0r8ts5vjUYeZ41s3B3uFsl62NjMzlPqk7qi36V8APOTWSwcNh1dT3AFEOysAjOOudq0YnYV4FBCGC1gFne0DQ3/s3024/IMG_6935%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1758" data-original-width="3024" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUq5t8AhxWUyqcrX58Zt8zyRM-THmiP0GiqykdY2XDJ6klugkGnm4xk3ZJzqBQCc0Gi-mIq-jqAKB3yA6g7_hcClInOlSlKcwFpg0r8ts5vjUYeZ41s3B3uFsl62NjMzlPqk7qi36V8APOTWSwcNh1dT3AFEOysAjOOudq0YnYV4FBCGC1gFne0DQ3/s320/IMG_6935%20(2).JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZW0dAXwZocHIlaPW5c2BHJCJrukkYrcmn1mvhZqVnvIvjsIxGT0Vd6xK4gc0z6XaJxi55n6pPAw_gs2HriBTtBvZhvwWbYcUTQ_uZBaE0yLmw0VuBbuaY_2lKzCu6N1ZQBtBh4OhgtyvYMCWdVDWA5fZDmeJS8INTo6ozvrZsjuUjvj2NdJ82PUn5/s4032/IMG_6939.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZW0dAXwZocHIlaPW5c2BHJCJrukkYrcmn1mvhZqVnvIvjsIxGT0Vd6xK4gc0z6XaJxi55n6pPAw_gs2HriBTtBvZhvwWbYcUTQ_uZBaE0yLmw0VuBbuaY_2lKzCu6N1ZQBtBh4OhgtyvYMCWdVDWA5fZDmeJS8INTo6ozvrZsjuUjvj2NdJ82PUn5/s320/IMG_6939.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>The design I chose was the best since my dots did not line up with the next border making other designs amenable.<p></p><p style="text-align: center;">There was some featherwork in the snowballs and some loopu loops in some sashing. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Straight line and echo quilting in and outside of the half square triangles.</p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTaHwkw_eEeiKxoWnezmsuZQloLrhL5KRxlnWcjxU2GD9PB1aTRKzXGmRKUxWhIzR_lNEz4kZNcNKxCqxB3T637e_X51tuePX5Ytezjv2PszYw6XqUGpGbeNDU0Qyizgr5wUo6gOizzEDjADUUPxknbUkDpjA22wRRSPus4A4F_TiJZLszE8bvg-jk/s4032/IMG_6940.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTaHwkw_eEeiKxoWnezmsuZQloLrhL5KRxlnWcjxU2GD9PB1aTRKzXGmRKUxWhIzR_lNEz4kZNcNKxCqxB3T637e_X51tuePX5Ytezjv2PszYw6XqUGpGbeNDU0Qyizgr5wUo6gOizzEDjADUUPxknbUkDpjA22wRRSPus4A4F_TiJZLszE8bvg-jk/s320/IMG_6940.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Paperclip design in another sashing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cross hatching in the 9-patches.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH-hWekR_hewkhQnJY3wskKiYWQJZP5-4JU1ZRDDCIw2COkuiOQ2m1HjI-TOlrzucInGYJkt8oklpPBRou9XqVP6fqYR987sFg_M365Nks3q5Slrh0GKCKQKkLtIcy3BkoG5ErpaeTySlvk12QgeXo07eTDVpULxCXutOL_DIAZCuc2Vq7gdoqoUY3/s4032/IMG_6942.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH-hWekR_hewkhQnJY3wskKiYWQJZP5-4JU1ZRDDCIw2COkuiOQ2m1HjI-TOlrzucInGYJkt8oklpPBRou9XqVP6fqYR987sFg_M365Nks3q5Slrh0GKCKQKkLtIcy3BkoG5ErpaeTySlvk12QgeXo07eTDVpULxCXutOL_DIAZCuc2Vq7gdoqoUY3/s320/IMG_6942.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then to draw in some of the dots into the rest of the quilt, I did some shadow dots (texturized dots).

Yes, I will be busy around here, but it will be at my own pace with no deadlines. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Happy quilting!</div></div><br /> <p></p>Mimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11965619213181669880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5016712355074044574.post-48210330104575182082022-05-17T20:23:00.004-04:002022-05-17T20:23:31.616-04:00May Update.....<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was quite awhile ago that I was working on this sweater.

Well, guess what? They weren't SPAM but legitimate comments to my posts. I think blogger had COVD; otherwise, I can't explain why all these posts would go to SPAM. </p><p style="text-align: center;">That kind of answers my question regarding not getting any comments lately. I was assuming that people just weren't posting on their blogs and just doing Instagram. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I was wrong. </p><p style="text-align: center;">So, if you have posted on my blog in the last several months, please know that I have read all the comments and I have now checked them off as "not SPAM". I appreciate your interest in my posts and hope you will continue to visit. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Have a great day.</p>Mimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11965619213181669880noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5016712355074044574.post-49782477361288526292022-04-07T20:09:00.000-04:002022-04-07T20:09:05.210-04:00Christmas?

At least it is quilted. All she has to do now is put the binding on. I am sure she will see it through now.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I don't know what the name of the quilt is, but it is modern and the plum variations are lovely. </p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi65oYhzp_44JsFAgimAhEXabJg3jyN-7QRHy7Fi98gUXoWSw7VBbh_mNKr56jtROA4HGdoBo5TGSiY5yOiOI-h5i4yj26kBmDc8W5MdhmER0zC8J_tYGmBs2mtHQtbgsNomqs5ztrS8uoY4GFs_8IY_VIhLnJPtkCn4HLviONfvY2z0sWH2cgnJ1TR/s1800/ACLO8777.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi65oYhzp_44JsFAgimAhEXabJg3jyN-7QRHy7Fi98gUXoWSw7VBbh_mNKr56jtROA4HGdoBo5TGSiY5yOiOI-h5i4yj26kBmDc8W5MdhmER0zC8J_tYGmBs2mtHQtbgsNomqs5ztrS8uoY4GFs_8IY_VIhLnJPtkCn4HLviONfvY2z0sWH2cgnJ1TR/s320/ACLO8777.JPG" width="256" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The backing was a silvery gray, so I chose a medium gray So Fine thread to quilt this.

There was just enough coverage to catch all the seams, was simple enough and didn't detract from the quilt top. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjOeSJ0QyjcrN2Jci2IxLp7OSVHBWV6QpXC_jnXg40YMnO0PPqxa70EGWHTp0q3gvzaSi7zDeHjUEO6DzTkoq1YdPbGPOak2JY3agfaylcOsjSRkULCyxMzJmgYLV_dYrqTWXJwS_IF4tOvp0wVyw33KAORctCcIDp4pKsSqbe1mBGVD4U4SNfN1RW/s1800/IBHM6742.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjOeSJ0QyjcrN2Jci2IxLp7OSVHBWV6QpXC_jnXg40YMnO0PPqxa70EGWHTp0q3gvzaSi7zDeHjUEO6DzTkoq1YdPbGPOak2JY3agfaylcOsjSRkULCyxMzJmgYLV_dYrqTWXJwS_IF4tOvp0wVyw33KAORctCcIDp4pKsSqbe1mBGVD4U4SNfN1RW/s320/IBHM6742.JPG" width="256" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I think it turned out pretty good.
