Catanach #20

This is my 20th kilt. I just can't believe that I have made 20 kilts! It would not have been possible without the help from Clan Xmarks. Thank you all.

I posted these in a previous thread but am reposting here just as a celebration of my 20th:





Thanks everbody,

Hi Barb,
Yes, that is me. My lovely wife took the pictures. We had picture taking yesterday before going to Waterfire. It was a lovely fall day with the maple in our front yard turning to it's fall colors.

Here is my lovely wife with one of our cats, George. George is named from my alma mater; George Washington University.

You did a marvelous job ! Congrats on your 20th kilt. I really like that Tartan. Most of the trees in my area have all shed their leaves. Luckily the lads and I had a chance to go on several hikes over the last couple of months to enjoy the show nature kindly puts on for us. Again wonderful job and you have a lovely wife as well. Oh, saw your pics of the Waterfire event as well. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Yours Aye,
Sean

Good on ya ChattanCat. What a wonderful looking kilt. As I have said before I'm constantly amazed at the talent and skill of our members here, and this is a shining example of talent put to good use. You can certainly be proud of a job well done lad.

What a beautiful kilt -- it does the tartan proud. You have a lovely wife, too, and a great-looking cat to boot! * Charlie and Evie say "hi!"

* No, I don't boot cats -- unless I'm barefoot and they deserve it
