Jenny Hart is the founder of Texas-based Sublime Stitching, the little company that rocks the needleworking industry. Jenny is an internationally published artist/illustrator, an award-winning author of several titles for Chronicle Books and a founding member of the infamous Austin Craft Mafia. Due to an overabundance of bunnies and dull, outdated instructions, Jenny independently founded Sublime Stitching in 2001, taking embroidery where it had never gone before: with hip and stylish Embroidery Patterns and the first customizable all-in-one Embroidery Starter Kits. Her instructions entertain and educate a new generation of crafters who've never held a needle and thread and re-inspire veterans with fresh designs. Sublime Stitching's innovations with embroidery were met with worldwide attention and hordes of loyal crafters, thankful for something to stitch other than geese in bonnets. Jenny's own works in embroidery have been exhibited and published throughout Europe, South America, Mexico, and Japan. Her work has been featured in zines and publications that include SPIN, JANE, Real Simple, Rolling Stone, BUST, ReadyMade, Family Circle, Entrepreneur and The Wall Street Journal. Her hand-embroidered portraits are included in the collections of the Roger Miller Museum, actress Carrie Fisher, comedian Tracey Ullman and Elizabeth Taylor. Jenny's work includes collaborations with the bands Flaming Lips, The Decemberists and The Octopus Project (because embroidery rocks). Jenny lives and works in Austin, Texas, where she runs Sublime Stitching full blast, but not without the help of a dedicated staff. And, she tries to embroider every day...do you?
