I would like to publically thank Barb for what a great person she is.
She is already known most for her book (coming soon in a new, expanded and updated version).
She is also proved herself one of the fastest, accurate 8 yard kiltmaker.
A while back, she offered to work a deal to make trade for some specific tartan for her daughter's groom. I had enough "excess" (tartan intended for an 8 yarder, that was deep on my backburner, after I made a 4 yard-box of the same), so I offered to work it. I turn I got enough of 2 family tartans I REALLY wanted badly for 2 4-yard box pleats.
I have just got the material for the second (in Wallace) today.
She has exceeded the "deal" FAR more than I would have anticipated when I first hit the "send" button on her requested material. She has mentioned it as a sweet "deal" to her (got her the material soon enough to get it ready with plenty of time so it will not be a concern as the day approaches, is all I can see as being so sweet!)
She has not even requested a dime, though I was/am willing and able to pay her to get BOTH family tartans I have direct name ties to (no septs involved).
She is just as sweet on the phone as she seems to be on the forum.
If I EVER get an 8-yarder made FOR me, it WILL be by her!

I wanted to PUBLICALLY tell all ya'll just how great she has been to me!!!



(Intentionally put in General kilt talk, so it can be read by all!!!)

THANK YOU BARB!!!!!
