    Let the Jones Begin!

    “There are three ingredients to the good life; learning, earning, and yearning.” Christopher Morley (American writer and editor 1890-1957)

    And for a long time I have yearned for a Tewksbury Tank. I was fortunate to lay my hands on some MacRae Ancient Hunting tartan so tomorrow it hits the post from NC to NY. Hope it doesn't get too messed up with the weather coming through.

    Barb says early spring for completion so the jones begins. This will be my first hand sewn tank, the other is partly machine stitched.
