NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg hosts quilting bee from space station

Well.

If you didn’t know that isn’t the headline I feel I’ve been waiting for my entire life, then you don’t know me.

My mission from earth: to create a quilt square that will be part of a star-themed quilt to be shown at the International Quilt Festival next year.

Please look at Karen Nyberg’s excellent Pinterest boards — she even has one called “Hair and Space.” I love her. I’m so glad she’s up there above me!

The future has caught up with my own brain in one, glorious moment.
