First one out of the hoop this year (2013). This is the Rooster collection from Anita Goodesign CD..there are 10 in all and I am hoping to do all of them..Please let me know what you think and if one would look good at your house?
This is #1 design and done on the Ellegante BabyLock Embroidery Machine. I was pleased that I got the machine up and running with only a brief tutorial from the girl at the Sewing Store..I worked on the Babylock about 4 mts last year..so far so good for 2013.
Two more designs are done and need to be photo'd. I did one on the Ellegante and one on the Husvarna Designer 1.  These are intended for 16" pillows. Stay tuned.
I need to go and review my blog, its been awhile.. Kimma

Wishing you a Halloween Autumn Harvest. WOW this turn out perfect. Tons of stitches. Love working with these colors.. used Sulky and Madeira threads. This will be an 18" pillow. Will try to get a sharper pic tomorrow in the day light. Kimma and her embroidery machine.

Went on a shopping trip today to find fabric..WOW is this a beautiful Fall print? Love it.

I used this fabric for the inside of the purse/bags I did for the Fall Cumberland Dog Show in MD. They turned out beautiful, did you get one of these bags?

Now taking orders for the "Pumpkin" reversible tote bags. The embroidery design is shinny and iridescent as it is stitched using Mylar. The reverse inside of the bag has an Autumn design in oranges and yellow Fall colors. It can be carried either way. Price is $27 + sh of $3.   contact me at veldt@comcast.net  2013 note I have one or two of these left.

The Beautiful Rhodesian Ridgeback Reversible Totes are finished.  What an exciting project. They will be awarded at the Upper Potomac Valley dog shows in Maryland in Oct. 2012. I am supporting the show one day and Kammi another day. There is a medallion to be awarded and the Breed winners are sure to have a tote bag to carry and accommodate there winnings.
The totes are made of cotton and the inside is an animal print. I put the design together about 4 yrs ago. The text on each bag is different and one of the Ridgebacks is a liver nose. If you are a lucky winner, enjoy your tote.  I need to make one for me. Contact me if you would like a custom made Ridgeback Tote.  Kimma Hefner

We can see the progress of the design here. One stitch at a time.

Here is a sneak preview of what I am working next. Can you guess what it is? This is how an embroidery design starts out..Interesting huh?

The Grand Finally design, the Cornucopia. The most difficult of the designs to stitch, lots of colors and hoop changes, but fun to do and even more fun to carry.. This one is the cooks. :)
