Anita Goodesign Americana Embroidery Machine Design CD Premium Plus
CD ONLY BOOK NOT INCLUDED
What
comes to mind when you hear the word Americana? Perhaps it’s an object, like a vintage
belt buckle, or maybe it’s an idealized scene of a cowboy gazing across a vast
expanse of land. Defined by a sense of American patriotism and nostalgia, our
Americana collection captures the essence of pride in America’s heritage with
embroidery and thread. Featuring hundreds of quilt blocks and unique patterns,
these designs reminisce about the uncharted American West and the pioneering
spirit that lead to our country’s expansion.
Inspired by a Stephen Wilson Studio art series, the beauty of
this collection is the ability to form your own keepsakes that capture the
American spirit. The quilt blocks included in Americana range in size from a
minute 2” x 2” block up to a commanding 8” x 12” and sizes in between, so you
will learn how to easily make intricate quilts with our combination square
method. With a little advance planning and the guides included, the Americana
designs allow you to create your own patriotic projects that will stand the
test of time and proudly show the trailblazing spirit of our country. Anita
Goodesign founder and lead digitizer, Stephen Wilson, is also a fine artist who
shows his work in galleries across the country. He was slated for a spring show
at the New Gallery of Modern Art in Charlotte, North Carolina, and he began brainstorming
ideas. Many forces came together, from his involvement with Opera Carolina to
his urge to create a large public art installation, and serendipitously lead
Stephen to create the Americana series.
Stephen’s twenty-plus years of involvement in American craft
using both traditional and nontraditional means paved the way for this series.
He has digitized dozens of different collections for Anita Goodesign based on
the American West and Southwest. His take on Americana conjured images of
cowboys, quilts, and desert landscapes. Through his art, he captured this great
American spirit using modern technology. Each piece of his art merges classic
techniques, including embroidery and quilting, with technology. One piece may
combine hand-stitched details with a 3D printed sculpture. The combination of
all these elements with classic American iconography formed the foundation of
the Americana series.
