“One Small Step” was created by the Gulf Coast Modern Quilt Guild in 2019 for the MQG’s annual Charity Quilt Challenge and was displayed at QuiltCon 2020 in Austin, Texas. GCMQG draws from the Clear Lake area of Houston, Texas, and surrounding towns. We have many members and friends who work at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, as well as scientists and engineers in other fields around town. Our quilt celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Apollo program that landed humans on the moon for the first time, and the new Artemis program that will take us back there. The quote is from John F. Kennedy’s famous 1962 speech that led to the beginning of the Apollo program.
