First quilter in space

13 years ago

Interesting article about a NASA astronaut/quilter who's bringing 4 fat quarters and hand sewing supplies (and using old uniforms) to make a quilt in zero gravity!

Here is a link that might be useful: Nbc science news article, First quilter in space

My mother got a big kick out of this, when I told her about it. I'm most interested in the part where they don't do any laundry.

I have to confess that when I just read the subject of your post, I pictured a very frustrated quilter with a current project that wasn't working out and found a way to send it sky-high! Okay, so I was way off!

Actually the first quilter was Jan Davis years ago. She was featured on Simply Quilts, and her shuttle design quilt can be found by searching the web. I think she went up 3 times. I don't know if she actually sewed while in space.
