Quilting in Space?!?

I just read a fun story about quilting in space!

 

Here's a link to the story about Astronaut Karen Nyberg: http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-110113a.html There's an amazing video where Karen explains how it works to sew in space. (And she has a fabulous ponytail!)

 

This picture is from the article.

 

 

Then it gets better! Next year in Houston at the International Quilt Festival this block will be part of a quilt along with other star blocks that we can submit!

 

Here's a link to the details:
