The Art of Kiltmaking

[MacMillans son]

I chose to have my Lochcarron Strome MacMillan Old Weathered pleated to the olive/brown block in order to tone down the fuschia a bit. It looks great, and achieved my objective! My kilt maker is Donna Willy of Pleasonton Ca., a friend and dedicated student of Ms. Stuemeyer, so I am sure she would not have created something that she felt was a kilting faux pas.

Although I have a photobucket account, I have not mastered getting photos from my computer onto it and then moved to Xmarks. I must commit to taking the time to figure it out!

I'll try to get that done today.

My copy just landed. I breezed past the first three chapters as mostly what I've discovered on my own and then hit Chapter 4. I'm so pleased with how richly informative this book is. My questions are being answered now on literally every page. I can't wait to digest it in more depth once my little man has gone to bed. I am very close now to my first tartan cloth purchase.

Thanks Barb & Elsie!

Ok I think I got it!

Here is another example of "pleating to the block" (olive/brown)
I'll post to the photo forum when I get some with it on!
