From what I know, most of the family is from PA. I was born in Pittsburgh and I know that I had family in Washington, PA. I would say that she might adopt but I already have to share my Grandma with 3 sibs and a bunch of cousins.

on the bias

What? I dont know what that means. . . .Anyway, she just e-mailed me and said that she hoped they would be done by the end of the month. I will tell her you all send compliments, she will be glad to hear. I am very proud and honored to be receiving a gift with so much love incorporated into it.

I like the idea of a waistcoat? Anyone know how much yardage one of those puppies takes? I have to make sure that whatever I get my bro does as well, we went halfsies on the material. And as to giving the extra to Grams, she already purchased some lighter Cunningham tartan when she was in Scotland a while back and has yet to decide what to do with it.

Cant wait till she's done!

This is interesting. I have/had an Uncle that lived in Stubenville, OH not far from Pittsburgh. He would nave been in his late 80's by now. On the other hand I have an Aunt and Uncle that lived in Washington, PA. A cousin is now in the house. They are from the other side of the family, my Aunt, on my mothers side was an Ashby before marriage. It is always interesting how small the world is and how lives intertwine.

Most vest patterns I have used called for 1 yard 45" material with a different lining material for the back.
