    Short timing .....

    Just had an email from Barb T a day or so ago. Seems she's about to start working on my 8 yd knife pleat in XMarks tartan.

    Now it's to the Tartan Museum site to see what new colors of hose and flashes I'll need ......

    I think grey works very well with this tartan. I'll be glad to take a swatch of it over to my hose shelves and see what shades of blue I'd reccomend.

    Having looked at the selection, there is a blue Lewis hose that is VERY close to the main blue color that should look GREAT with either white or yellow flashes. Otherwise, I'd agree that gray looks goods:
