March Progress & Finishes


March started with a Highland dance competition, then band weekend, Celtic festival and now finished with another large highland dance competition.  I organize 6 competitions a year, one is the first weekend of March, another, the first weekend of April.  This year that means organizing for both happens in March!  YUCK!   Here are a couple of photos of the Kilts & Jackets I made dancing at the Celtic Festival.
My first Kilt made - Raspberry Menzies!  
Swinging on my 11yo

A Tribute to JL McKenzie
Kilt: Raspberry Reverse MacKellar


Binding is half stitched on and sitting in the van for a day I have time while at kids activities
Binding attached.   
My goal was to have the top finished.  I got 2 RCMP quilt tops finished.  All 4 are ready for the longarm!

Love the kilts and the quilts. I am impressed that you were able to get four tops completed as that is a lot of work. WTG!

The kilts are really nice. My granddaughter would love that pink fabric, lol. Your quilts are beautiful.
