That IS cool! Wish I could go with her!

​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.

Definitely cool!! What a blast to use old uniforms to make a quilt.

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.

Thanks for sharing! I have enough difficulty getting the everything to cooperate here on Earth...!! I hope they do a follow-up.

LOL meee toooo!

She could "not" clip any threads til she got back. I would be more concerned about the needles. But talk about a "PROJECT TO GO". How cool is that?
