My visit with Barb

**longhuntr74** · 24th October 10, 07:30 AM

I spent about three hours yesterday visiting Barb Tewksbury at her University office/lab. We looked at the kilt she made me and the kilt I made and she assisted me with laying out my second kilt...a box pleated Black Watch. I had a great time and learned quite a bit...and I think even shared a little something that Barb found intriguing...keep your eyes out for a future post by her. But anyways...I thought the rabble may like to get a look at a couple of pictures from my visit.

The sign outside of Barb's suite...and it is a suite...two laboratory/work rooms, an entryway/foyer, and a private office complete with a big comfy recliner.

Barb at work...doing her real job! I think I caught her on a video chat with one of her graduate students in Egypt here.

Kiltmaker's shop or geology lab?? A pic of the large lab/class room...the tables work great for laying out a kilt. The kilts on the table are the one I made for a friend and the one Barb just made for me. The one over the back of the chair is Barb's personal band kilt.

In-progress view of Barb's current project:

And, finally, a closer pic of the two kilts with "the bible".

Hope you enjoy this thread!

For some reason, that is what I always imagined.

Thanks for the pictures, we want some of your upcoming box pleat too.

I think that was very cool she helped you with your kilt.
Hey Barb, I live in Maine and my friend in Vermont would drive to NY one day for some advice, ideas on our kilt making. If you ever would be interested in that or more like "HAVE TIME" PM me. My personal goal is to stitch my pleats like yours....INVISIBLE!
