    I am on the road back to Victoria tomorrow morning. I will still hold kilt making classes in Victoria and I suspect that Barb may continue her classes in NY but we will no longer be doing joint classes under the auspices of X Marks.

    So to all the students who took my course, I would like to say thank you for the opportunity to help you in your kilt making in some small way .
    To those who I got to meet from Barb's course a big thank you to you too.
    If it had not been for the past nine year's Kamps I would not have been able to meet so many very wonderful people.
    Steve, I don't know why you have made this decision, but you will be missed here on east coast of the USA. I had hoped to possibly take your class in two years when Kilt Kamp returned to the USA. Unfortunately I do not see a possibility of getting to Vancouver any time in the near future. I guess I will just have to make do with your book when it becomes available.

    I did enjoy our discussions and the little bit that I was able to pick up between working on my traditional box pleat kilt. I hope for all the best to you and, I do hope to be able to take your class at some time in the future.

    Thanks again,
    Stoff

    Yes, it is the Arctic tartan. The British Antarctic Heritage Trust does still sell yardage, although it is not listed on their web page. Just click the "Contact Us", and email them and ask what they have in stock.
