This week's guest is Jenny Hart, an amazing artist and founder/CEO of Sublime Stitching,  a contemporary studio for hand embroidery, delivering designs and patterns that are far edgier than anything your grandmother every worked on.  Jenny has authored many books on the subject, has been feature in numerous publications,  she's exhibited her work in prestigious galleries and shows, and  has rejuvenated a medium in danger of loosing relevance and slipping in obscurity.  She was an original founder of the Craft Mafia in Austin Texas, only to be replicated in many other cities, and Jenny was in a select group of artists called 40 under 40 who were recognized by the Smithsonian on the 40th anniversary of the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery, where some of her art remains on display.  She has sold work to some of Hollywood's elite, including Laura Dern, Tracy Ulman  and two really big names that she will share a really funny story about in our episode.  Unlike many of the artists we have interviewed, Jenny does not perfer a box and the influence of structure, especially when she is grabbing her string and flying her kite in it’s purest form.
