Karen Nyberg

I did it once as well.

We had a lady called Dr. Karen Nyberg.

She makes art quilts, but she also spent 180 days on the International Space Station.

So my opening question was, Dr. Nyberg, as you stared at the stars as a little child and you looked out at the magnificence of it all, can you remember the moment when you thought, I'm going to make art quilts? I'm just, my talents are wasted, I swear.

I'm Liz Booker, literary aviatrix, and I am so thrilled to talk with a couple of special guests today about a new book launching in September titled A Quilt of Stars.

Astronaut Karen Nyberg stitches a dream.

Fewer than 10% of pilots and aircraft mechanics are women.

These are their stories of tenacity, adventure, and courage.

Great to be here.

Oh my gosh, I'm so glad to have you.

And Dr. Karen Nyberg, welcome.

Thanks for having us, Liz.
