General Meeting – Day

Dr. Karen Nyberg: Quilting in Space: An Astronaut’s Perspective!
Karen’s talk promises to be from out of this world – literally! While some of Karen’s earliest childhood memories are of times spent sewing, drawing and creating art,  around the same time, she looked up at the sky and knew she wanted to be a astronaut. She sewed her first shirt at age 8. For her, the technical aspects of sewing and art have always just made sense. Since retiring as an astronaut, Karen finds inspiration for her artwork from everyday life. Her most recent favorites are textile artworks inspired by her family. She also works on artist commissions for clients and brands.
