While spending time at Superior Threads headquarters, Alex learned from Dr. Bob about NiteLite Glow-in-the-Dark thread.
This time of year, it seems that a Halloween quilt might benefit from a little glow-in-the-dark embellishment. What would you do with NiteLite thread?

About Spoonflower:
At Spoonflower we make it possible for individuals to design, print and sell their own fabric, wallpaper and gift wrap. It was founded in May 2008 by two Internet geeks who had crafty wives but who knew nothing about textiles. The company came about because Stephen’s wife, Kim, persuaded him that being able to print her own fabric for curtains was a really cool idea. She wasn’t alone. The Spoonflower community now numbers over a million individuals who use their own fabric to make curtains, quilts, clothes, bags, furniture, dolls, pillows, framed artwork, costumes, banners and much, much more. The Spoonflower marketplace offers the largest collection of independent fabric designers in the world.
One of those independent fabric designers is TQS guest, Jane Dunnewold. Star Members can watch Jane in Show 1501: Discover Sensational Surface Design.
