Richard, I for one would be honored to be in the presence of the "Pink Death Camo" Kilt.

Hmmm, I am not sure 'honored' is the right word. Although it is an experience that is not to be missed...

Whoo hoo! The most important part of my 'do it yourself kilt kit' just arrived:

I ordered this just a couple days short of 6 weeks ago, so I was getting worried. Good thing I ordered it early...

OK, now it is truly official. Count me in as part of the kilt class!
(I can hardly wait!)

Here's my fabric(the colorful stuff, not the grey) as posted earlier with several projects:

I finished a kilt in the gray to the sett for last year's Burns Supper, the badger became two sporrans, full mask for me and hunter for Scooby. I have more of the gray, but this will get me caught up.

I will be pleating to the white stripe, hiding the blue in the pleats across the back. Since my claim to this tartan is in the Shakespearean and theatrical vein, no heritage, I'm going with the military pleating in my role as a "Lighting Marine."

A Saturday night wind down (or wind up!) after a grueling first day of drilling and grilling will be just the ticket. One of us will even drive you to your "crash pad" as the activities tail off...

p.s. Does this mean I should bring along the Pink Death Camo kilt and matching argyle hose?

Yes!

That is, yes, a ride back to my mom's apartment would be great, and I'll wear Pink Death if you do!

Be well,

Star

Here's mine!

Duh, will I ever get the photobucket picture up?
I guess I'm not holding my mouth right

Yeah! It's almost here!

Is anyone else as excited as I am about the upcoming weekend and beyond? The final roster has eight student kiltmakers:

1. Mike (XMTS: Farlander)
2. Bob (XMTS: Smayniac)
3. Teri (XMTS: Tartan Tess)
4. Patti (Friend of Teri) (We love you anyway

)
5. James (XMTS: JamesSwagger)
6. Frances (XMTS: garg'n uair dhuisgear)
7. Richard (XMTS: way2fractious)

... and 8. Donna Willey (Piper, Black Bear Pipe Band, South Lake Tahoe) Donna is a friend to Elsie and me and has sponsored/taken Elsie's course before. She found out about the workshop when Elsie gave away our Secret XMTS course info. But it is always a good thing to have a piper in attendance.

(Hmmm... now if we can just follow all those complicated kiltmaking rules

that our instructor will TRY to teach us...)
