​Great story! To bad she can't take her machine. No gravity would make FMQ a breeze with no need to haul the quilt around. Of course the machine would need to be fastened down.

Neat to read about this ... and just as our Canuck Astronaut Chris Hadfield returned yesterday, having done a gazillion firsts in Space.

I hope we can keep track of her efforts and see the results when she returns or when the quilt returns at a later date.

Does anyone here keep their "stuff" in one space, but sew in another space?
