BROWN
Our First Ambassador
What’s your “story”? Although I have been embroidering as
a business for close to 20 years, I didn’t start really LOVING
embroidery until 2017. I have enjoyed embroidery since the
moment I pressed that green go button on my first machine,
but doing embroidery for a business is much different than
doing embroidery for fun—gifts, decorations, and quilting!
Let me tell you my story of change and my love for Anita
Goodesign.
Back in the day, I saw the Anita Goodesign Roses design
pack—where the roses were stitched onto jeans and jean
pockets—simply gorgeous. I took a screenshot of that design,
and it was my secret inspiration for many years, although I
did not have time or make time to stitch anything for me.
Jump ahead to 2017, when everything changed. I was 48
years old and worked at home. One warm day in July, out of
the blue, I had a heart attack. And that was the beginning of
the change.
The main reason why my heart is with Anita Goodesign is
the inspiration and a part of my recovery plan. I decided
that I wanted to stitch bright colors, beautiful fabrics and be
creative in a different way. I told my husband what I wanted—
the All Access deal along with all of the extras—so many
projects and so many bright colors! He agreed that this was
a great way for me to de-stress and have fun, not to mention
get on my feet as much as possible. AG designs got me up
every day, ready to create something beautiful.
At the beginning of my recovery, I was not able to hoop or
change threads, but I was able to pick colors and fabric and
decide what I wanted to make, exactly how I wanted to make
it. My husband and kids would do the hooping and get me
started. As time went on, I was able to do more and more
and watch the designs stitch out, too. I realized that Anita
Goodesign designs are not only beautiful but well made
and stitch out properly. That is very important to me—so
many people put out embroidery designs with tons of trims,
the same basic stitches and poor quality. Anita Goodesign
designs are high quality, with great instructions to follow, and
the All Access is a big book of inspiration that still makes me
happy every month!
