2 new design sets added to website...

#500 Grandpa's Little Buddy Design stitched on a terry bib

I've just added 2 new machine embroidery design sets to the website. Both are super cute, so have fun stitching them!

The #1100 Simple Frog is the first in a line of "Simple" sets that I'll be making. They are very simple triple [bean] stitch designs with very few jump stitches. For instance, the only jump stitches for the frog are for the 3 dots on the body, the mouth and the dots in the eyes ~ everything else stitches continuously.

AKD Frame Catalog 2009

I just finished the AKDesigns Frame Catalog! This is the second catalog that I've put together. The first one was for my embroidery fonts. I've had a lot of requests for it from my customers ~ they need it to help keep track of the sets they have and the sets they need {or want}. At the back of the catalog is a list of frame sets that are "in progress" and will be released soon, so keep an eye out!

Next, is the AKDesigns Design Catalog, then the AKDesigns Applique Catalog.

I would love to know what you think ~ leave a comment if you have a minute :)
