A Retired Astronaut Launches a Fabric Line
"Seeing Earth from space is a privilege afforded only to a select few highly trained individuals—the rest of us have to settle for photos and videos. Now, those views can also be incorporated into quilts and other crafting projects thanks to a new fabric line from retired NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg." - Smithsonian Magazine
From Smithsonian Magazine:
"For her “Earth Views” fabric line, created in partnership with Robert Kaufman Fabrics, Nyberg drew inspiration from 13 photographs she took of the planet while aboard the International Space Station. Before retiring from NASA in March 2020, Nyberg participated in two missions, in 2008 and 2013, and spent more than 180 days in space as a mission specialist and a flight engineer."
