ilts and Related Stuff


I started thinking about kilts when I discovered or rediscovered that there is a tartan that was specifically designed for the officers and men who served in the Polaris Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarines stationed at Holy Loch near Dunoon, Argyle and Bute, Scotland. [more ...]

This is my second kilt, a blue corduroy Utilikilt. Dave, Nettie, and I are at the top of Sandia Peak above Albuquerque, New Mexico. Don't yet have any pictures of my first and third kilts. This picture was taken during the 2006 Balloon Fiesta.



In November of 2006 I found a very cool kilt pin.

I will be sewing my first kilt at a workshop run by Elsie Scott-Stuehmeyer (author with Barbara Tewksbury of The Art of Kiltmaking). The workshop will take five days in April 2008. I'll be making the kilt from the better of the two lengths of X Marks the Scot tartan (ITI 6679). Progress photos and stuff when and as it happens.
