Astronaut Karen Nyberg spends a little Saturday afternoon downtime sewing in space. Karen is a lifelong lover of sewing. She is inviting fellow crafters to join her in stitching together a global community space quilt. In the final weeks of her mission aboard the orbiting laboratory, she recently shared a star-themed quilt block she was able to complete during her limited free time in space. She is now inviting quilters from the public to create their own star-themed quilt blocks to help celebrate her mission and passion for the quilting arts.

Video clips of Nyberg quilting aboard the space station will be featured in a NASA exhibit at the 39th annual International Quilt Festival Thursday through Sunday, Nov. 3 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. Sewing and quilting include many of the principles and technical skills used in developing equipment for spaceflight missions. The exhibit will include sewn samples from spacesuits and parachutes, a cargo transfer bag and other soft goods from NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

The deadline to submit a block to the Star Block Challenge is Aug. 1, 2014.
