- 04/12/2009 — Hatcher (Texas) (Personal) (register-of-tartans, record)
Designed using the favorite colours of the designer, his wife, and family. The large black and violet lines represent the designer and his wife; the green line represents the eldest son; the three small lines of blue, purple and dark red represent the three middle boys who are only about a year apart, and the smallest red line represents the youngest. There is no significance to the order of the lines of the children other than to be visually pleasing. The thread count in each colour represents the difference in ages between each child and between the children and parents. Each pair of threads represents one year based on the year of birth, not the number of months separating each. The smallest red line represents the approximate age of the youngest when the designer and his wife were married. - 4th Dec. 2009 — Hatcher (Personal) (tartans-authority, record)
