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?

Design by Rachelle Meyer
Every Litographs t-shirt is created entirely from the text of a classic book and is hand-pressed to order in Cambridge, MA. The text of the book covers your shirt. They are printed via all-over dye sublimation. This method stands out for its resolution, comfort, and durability.
The average Litographs t-shirt contains approximately 40,000 words (about the length of a short novel). They carry everything from Sci-Fi to Shakespeare, Science to Mystery. They have you covered.

When Alex and Ricky tape their shows, they don't use cue cards; they wing it, with a little bit of help from Shelly, the producer. Sometimes it gets a little silly.

Here's a cute wall organizer using fabric from Spoonflower.
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.
Click here to see some of Jane's fabrics on Spoonflower.
Or maybe it's time to create your own designer fabric.
