Duck Swap Keyrings for HAL Alaska 2025

Creating Duck keyrings 

for Swaps and Duck hunts 

for my Alaska cruise 

this summer on board the 

HAL Eurodam.

My Bernina 990 powerfully 

embroidered through every layer I added...

 as each step of applique added to the dimensions

to complete the orange themed duck keyrings.

I used various faux leathers 

in different shades and 

textures of orange for duck the centers.

I tried to vary all the beaks and waddles... 

from duck to duck

Once all the variations in vinyl 

are appliqued in place, 

the actual embroidery begins...

After nearly an hour to stitch these guys

 all around the edges, 

it was time to swap thread colors 

and let scripts begin.

After stitch work was complete... 

I added tassel, keyring, and tags.

I ended up embroidering and 

creating a total of 30 ducks 

ready to sail to Alaska!
