Tartan Day Fergus and other goings on

Well this weekend was eventful !!!!!!!!!!

Saturday I was asked the pipe in the dignitaries for a Haiti relief concert in Orangeville Ontario it was an amazing event tons of talent were there to perform and I was well received there and was given the nickname "Peter Piper" by the host of the evening . I was glad i was able to add to their event.

Sunday was tartan day in my home town of Fergus all the pubs in town had bands playing and folks were wandering from pub to pub .

The Owner of the Goofie Newfie Rebecca, and myself put together a raffle and we raffled off one of my kilts to raise money for charity, for it being the first time we ever worked together on a project it went really, we raised money and people loved it the lucky gentlemen was extremely happy to have won , the kilt will be in the Canadian Maple tartan.

Thanks folks

Easter Weekend

Hello all

Easter weekend is upon us and getting ready to have a huge dinner with my family.

I would like to extend a happy easter to all you out that have been ready my blog let me know if you are.

Today was a great day , the kind of day that makes me love being a kilt maker .

A customer asked me if I would be able to make him a kilt in the Irish Saffron I was able to having the fabric already in the the workshop in our 11oz polyviscose from the United Kingdom wonderful stuff. This customer is a return customer he had ordered a kilt in the Donegal Tartan before Robbie Burns and I was able to make it for him, he was very pleased with how well it was constructed it had sentimental value because his mother just recntly passed away and he promised her he would wear it , so he was able to keep his promise. Now just last week we were speaking and he mentioned the Saffron kilt and i said to him no problem let me know when you want it he needed it by friday April 2 . Kilt completed by the scheduled time here is my favorite part he picks up the kilt and is totally loving it he is beside himself with excitement and says to me that he can't believe how amazing my work is , I thank him humblely and he goes on is way home to enjoy his new kilt .

I love when I can do this for a person it's really great to see the persons face when they get their kilt and examine it and see them fall in love.

Hope you all out there have a wonderful easter and we see u in a couple days
