Cunningham kilt--big pics

**string** · 6th March 08, 12:06 PM

very very nice, I really do need to get my hands on Barb T.'s book. Perhaps I shall see if I can get it on Inter Library Loan. My campus library will purchase most books that aren't in the system if they are requested, I've expanded my library's knitting collection that way once or twice.

Thank you so very much for all your wonderful comments on my grandson's Cunningham Tartan kilt that I made. It truly was a labor of Love, and thus the label to let them know it was made with Grandmother's Love. Barb's book is wonderful for instructing a newbie kilt maker. Fortunately, I have been sewing for many, many years, so the terms and instructions weren't so daunting. It was all the "hand sewing", as most of my sewing is done quickly on the machine. But my great auntie who had been a tailor's apprentess taught me how to hand sew many years ago, so no biggie.
For those who have been asking, the Cunningham clan in my background had lived in Mississippi, Canada, Minnesota, and California over the years.
Again, thanks for all the many compliments on my kilt making. I really appreciate it. Emyclaire

You have done a excellent job-- both on the kilt and with your grandson. You are indeed fortunate to have such a handsome young gentleman to wear the kilt you have so lovingly crafted. Well done indeed.

Emyclaire your work is wonderful and I know Bishop will wear it with pride.

I have been asking about Bishop's Cunningham back ground. My side of the Cunningham's are from the Virginia, Western Virgina and West Virginia area. So welcome to the forum from a cousin 278 time removed.

Sorry for the delay on the pic and the quality but I can't seem to tie someone down to take the pic.

Here are a few better pictures of the grandma kilts. Sorry about the lack of sporran. I currently am having mine worked on at a local leather shop.

Glad you finally got some good pics. I have to admit, those pleats hang pretty nicely. I am pretty happy with the way they look. Thanks for the pictures. Gramma Emyclaire

from Chicago. You've truly given your grandson an heirloom kilt. And he's a sneaky one for giving you Barb's book for Christmas. I'm willing to bet that a lot of Xmarker's are ready for you to adopt them.
