Show us your own tartan design!

[Tim Little]

Ok, XMarks tartan designers... show us your stuff!

Having just seen Rex's "Heatherfield" thread, I thought it would be nice to have a single thread showing off the tartans designed by XMarkers. Obviously there's the XMarksthescot tartan and Rocky's "Albannach", Firefighters, German Heritage, and LEO creations all come to mind. I'm sure there are many others that I'm forgetting.

So here are some ground rules:

Please post a "swatch" of your tartan like this:

... with an example (or examples) of the tartan being used "in vivo" like this:

Heatherfield

Note: The "in vivo" shot needn't be a kilt, per se, but should show an example of woven tartan cloth and/or related applications (e.g., XMarksthescot tartan hose).

Obviously be sure to include any pertinent details about the tartan -- how you came up with the design, thread count, who wove it, tartan register number, etc., etc.

Thanks; I'm sure we're all looking forward to seeing once again the creativity that abounds in this community!

Anderson Tartan

Richard:

Is that a personal Anderson tartan variant that you designed, or a photo of the Anderson clan tartan?

I'm hoping to keep this thread limited to tartans actually designed by XMarkers....

Thanks!

No worries!

I've now clarified the wording (I hope!) in the original post.

I've designed a tartan but I haven't actually gotten it woven yet. (I have it copyrighted but I can't register it with the STA until I have some woven.)

This image isn't the best quality but I have the thread count and all.

I haven't thought of a name for it, would anyone like to suggest one?

It puts me in mind of bluestone, but then again, I was primed for that, just having read a story about a house built around a bluestone boulder.

For some reason it reminds me a lot of WWII, something like Omaha Beach or maybe Normandy Hedge.ith:

I've designed a tartan that I love 3 times on Scotweb's design tool and each time it's not recorded it properly - resulting in a loss of nearly half the design.
