Second that -- nice job!!

How many kilts have you made prior to this one?

I made four machine-sewn cotton kilts before this one.
And talking to McMurdo at Fergus, I realized that I hadn't finished posting my pictures from Troy ...

First good sign that I had arrived in the right place:

The older buildings at the Emma Willard School have themed grotesques near their roof lines.
The classroom building had the classical studies (mathematics, cartography, philosophy).
The dormitory had the performing arts -

including this fellow:

We couldn't figure out why, but the chapel had athletics and sports -

Who's is that? Are they an XMarks member? I think I've seen that van in Manchester.

I really wanted to go but I didn't have the money or vacation time. Is the left-handed kiltmaker going to become a permanent fixture there?

One last question then I'll stop bugging you...maybe

Where can I find info on attending next year? I looked on the website and all I could find was dance camp and band camp.

The van belongs to Judy, who isn't a member, but you may have seen it - how close is Keene to Manchester? Anyway, she'll be taking over the instructing from Elsie next year.
Left-handed Ann was planning on being there next year, which is good news for me.
As soon as I hear anything about next year's camp, I'll post it here. Hopefully that will be within the next couple of months, as I have to put in for next year's vacation in October.

Keene is only about an hour or so away from here so it's quite possible I've seen her. I also sent an email to them requesting info so hopefully we find out in time.
