In Stitches

It is no secret that Jenny Hart knows her way around a needle and thread.
Her Sublime Stitching book (and those that have followed since) single-handedly brought the antiquated art of needlework solidly into the 21st Century, giving it a modern twist with stitch-by-stitch patterns for such kitschy goodness as margaritas, burlesque queens, and mom tattoos.
But her embroidered take on concert posters is just, well, sublime.

Amazing! Reminds me of my teen years embroidering a dragon on my denim jacket for a school project - totally annoyed the teacher but she had to admit it was original craft work all the same.
