    American astronaut Karen Nyberg is taking quilting supplies to do some quilting in space! How cool is that.

    How neat! I hope another astronaut will take pictures of her quilting. I am so curious to see how she manages and what she creates.

    This is cool but I hope she dosent use a rotary cutter. That could be dangerous.

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