One of the highlights of Austin was getting to see some of Jenny Hart's work up close and personal at the Yard Dog gallery in Austin. Of course, Jenny is the genius behind Sublime Stitching and my total crafty idol. So I was only too elated to get to stare at her needle work and see the intricacy, stitch sizes, color choices, and cleverness of it all up close. I took pictures. I drooled. I touched it (sorry, Jenny!) - the Yard Dog folks thought I was nuts.

When I need inspiration, I will come back to my shots of this amazing portrait in thread.
