Sally Ride died today. She was the first American woman astranout to go up in space. She designed a block, which she had made and took on her trip to outer space. I wonder if I can find my copy.

I once met this gracious woman some years back. She was a very vivacious and interesting woman. God bless her.

Margarita, I remember that she had made a quilt block and taken it up in the Shuttle with her. She showed us that we can be scientists, quilters, and whatever else we want to be.

Margarita~ I completely missed the "quilt block in space" aspect of Sally Ride's historic trip! If you can find her design can you post it? I have googled for quite some time now, and can find no reference to it.
Thanks!

The female astronaut who took a quilt block to space was Dr. Jan Davis not Sally Ride. The block was an appliqued block using the shape of the spaceshuttle. Betty Ann

Thanks, Betty Ann! I was able to see Dr. Jan Davis' quilt block on line. I was so unaware of it all! Had I ever known, I'm sure I would have remembered because, coincidentally, I have a cousin named "Jan Davis". My cousin, however, has never been in space and doesn't even quilt...as far as I know!
