A celebration of Apollo missions, astronauts, and all things lunar through "out of this world" art quilts.

When the Apollo astronauts went to the moon, the whole world watched. When the Fly Me to the Moon art quilt challenge went out, it went global. This book showcases the curated results of that call for entries: 179 art quilts by over 130 artists from eight countries, expressing their interpretation of the space program and all things lunar.

Walk down memory lane or discover the story of the missions for the first time, but most importantly, enjoy a trip to the moon and beyond without the time and rigors of space training. As you travel into space, meet the astronauts, hum the tunes, and listen to the artists tell you about their pieces. Find endless inspiration in these images of the moon made out of cotton, thread, crystals, paint, ink, tulle, and crocheted lace. [AuthorName]By Susanne Miller Jones[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Susanne Miller Jones began quilting after retiring from teaching.
