Hi all,

I'm making progress on Hamish's kilt! Earlier this week, I finished the pleating, and I'm posting a few photos of the pleat stage.

Pleating the kilt in the guest house at Leirubakki, Iceland:

A few views of Hamish's kilt with the resident volcano (Hekla) and its volcanic flows in the background. In these photos, all that's done is the pleat stitching:

This is the 4 WD road that we take to get near my field area:

And basting the pleats in the back of the car surrounded by all our field gear:

More later!

Great photos Barb, you are certainly a versatile lady, does anthing slow you down?

I especially like the way your hose and hat coordinate with the tartan :)

Great pictures, thanks!

Fab photos! And sewing en route! Brava!

This special kilt is getting a heck of a journey on it's way to it's future home. Very nice.

My fingers would look like a blood leaking pin cushion. As Syndie7 said the tartan certainly matches your outdoor clothing.

Yes, but I'll bet the locals are all wearing t-shirts and shorts this time of year. :lol:

I love your work, Barb! Someday, I'll save the money to get one of my own! Hamish is a lucky man.

Looking great, Barb!

Incredible photos.
Thank you for sharing them, Barb.


Best,

Robert
