Retired Astronaut Launches a Fabric Line Inspired by Her Views of Earth From Space
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/retired-astronaut-launches-fabric-line-inspired-by-her-views-of-earth-from-space-180979941/

Brief excerpt:
Living in space fueled Nyberg’s creativity even more and “forever changed” how she looks at Earth, she tells Women’s Wear Daily. The 30 new organic fabrics depict different landscapes she photographed while gazing out the window of the space station’s cupola, ranging from swirling ocean currents to dense forests. For quilters who are eager to put the fabrics to good use, Nyberg also created quilt patterns meant to compliment the fabrics.
