My guest today is Dr. Karen Nyberg!  She is an Astronaut, Earth Ambassador, and Artist. Have you ever spoken to a person who has literally left this earth and been to outer space? I haven’t…until now! My guest on the podcast today stitched a 9” square star-themed quilt block in space and encouraged others to create their own star-themed quilt blocks on earth. No one realized how quickly the project would grow. NASA received over 2400 quilt squares from around the world for the Astronomical Quilt Block Challenge. Tune in today as I have a chat with Dr. Karen Nyberg. Happy Holidays everyone! OLISO IRON GIVEAWAY - Sign up for their newsletter - That's it!
