    Working on a kilt (US Army tartan for one of you XMarkers!) while waiting to compete at the Glasgowlands Highland Games in Massachusetts:

    I love it Barb, great photo, you wouldn't happen to have any from the Royal Stewart in New Mexico would you.

    Gee, I don't think so. Sorry! My family is so used to seeing me making kilts in odd places that they don't take pics of me any more. The one above was taken by someone in the band - I hadn't even see it until it was posted on Facebook yesterday.

    No worries
    It just occurred to me that the tartan really did travel far before I even saw it.

    Barb, maybe YOU can make a kilt anywhere.... You don't want to see me try that.

    Nice pic though!
