Equestrian Horses - Artful Embroidery

Artful Horses — A Gallop Through the Archives

I recently took a ride through the Anita Archives and—wow—look what I found! These magnificent horses first came to life almost a decade ago as appliqué designs. The original artwork was so captivating, I just had to bring them back to the digital saddle.

If you’re a horse lover, this collection will make your heart race. Each design has been completely re-digitized to pair beautifully with the Artful Embroidery collections and is now perfectly suited for framing. Every horse is stitched primarily with elegant, hand-placed running stitches—each one capturing the grace, power, and spirit of these majestic animals.

I’ve used these designs in several of my own art pieces from the American Sampler series, and they look stunning whether framed against a bold bandana background or showcased on their own.

So saddle up your embroidery machine and let your creativity run wild!

Happy Stitching,

Stephen Wilson
