    FANTASTIC...I'm jealous as hell. I want to pick your brain about pleating the X-Marks tartan to sett. I'm about *this* close to bailing out and pleating to "no stripe"...the blue background instead of to sett.

    I won't be at the August Kilt/Beer night, but I will be there in September, so I hope you wear the kilt then.

    I thought Elsie was from back East, didn't know she had a house in Lake Tahoe! Oh, lord, it looks like fun!

    The first day of the camp I also came about *this* close to picking a stripe - any stripe - rather than pleating to the sett. But it turned out rather well after sticking with it (and finally learning some things I never could get from the book on my own )

    You will be pleased to know that Elsie lives on the West Coast, just north of you a couple hours drive. The house in South Lake Tahoe belongs to a pipe band member.

    BTW, Barb, Elsie autographed our books. That means if we ever meet up, you also will have to autograph my book.

    W2F,

    Great photo album it sound like you learned and had fun (that is a combination that can't be beat). Are you going to have your X Marks kilt ready for the August Beer Night?

    By the By, that California Tartan is really growing on me!

    Cheers

    How about a midwest or Ontario (which is close to me!) Kilt Camp?

    Thats great W2F! Thanks for the pics, I hope to attend next year's camp.

    And Alan, check out the pics I post of the XMarks BOX pleated to the yellow stripe. Gorgeous! And the large grey/white stripe is centered in the inside of the box pleat, so shows when walking, giving a really great look.

    I love the group photo... Tartan kilts are marvelous in the way the various permutations of sett and stripe can make the tartan take on different appearances.

    The group looks like they've had a great time!
