Storm Riders Embroidered Apron

So, for a while I've been eyeballing an add-on to my embroidery software that would allow me to take my own images and digitize them into embroidery designs. It's a little on the expensive side, so I've been putting it off. However, last week, I finally broke down and bought it. It.Is.So.Cool. My first effort was the flyball team logo (you check out the original here). Which turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself. I'm still figuring out the program and what it can do, but I think it looks pretty professional.

The reason I chose the logo to do first is that each flyball team needs have someone to load the tennis balls in the flyball box during races. The woman who does this for the Storm Riders team, Lane, is a really nice lady. She is in the process of training Jake, her rat terrier. Jake and Bleys are pretty close to the same level I think, but Jake has the potential to be much faster. Anyway, Lane does this awesome job for the team, without much thanks most of the time. I thought it would be nice to give her an apron (most people who do this job wear one to hold the extra tennis balls within reach, but out of site) with the logo on it. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. Although I sort of made up all the dimensions, so I'm going to tell her that I will make another one wider/longer/whatever-er if she wants.
