Sandra Darlington Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Carin, That is beautiful and so very cool! I would never have thought to use glow in the dark thread on my quilt, but this looks spectacular. Your feathers are perfect. Thanks so much for sharing the pictures.

KerryM Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Love your quilt. So quiet and unassuming, then you turn out the lights and WOW!!!!!! Glow in the Dark thread????!!!! What a neat idea. It would be really cool on a kids quilt. What kind of thread is it? Inquiring minds want to know. Also, are the feathers freehand or computer?? Beautiful job either way.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Carin, I too have just been asked to quilt a quilt with glow in the dark thread...WHICH one did you use? And where did you find it. I need it before Thanksgiving...your help would be greatly appreciated. The onlyglowing thread I have is Embroidery thread from Mettler...not sure its strong enough to do the job.

Sheri Butler Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Carin, ..Just a beautiful, beautiful quilt! And your feather's are awsome! As asked above, is that a stencil from stensource? I think i've seen that before, but never quilted. Now that I have, I do believe it's a MUST HAVE! Terriffic quilt Carin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhend Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I love it. The quilting really makes it pop. Did you know how you wanted to quilt it before you made it? I am also going for the glow in the dark thread, at least for my grandchildren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carin Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Thank you all for your kind words! I´m very pleased Thread is 40wt/2-play embroidery thread, named FuFu Glow in the dark, please lock here for details http://www.fadenversand.de/faeden/stickgarn/fluoreszenz-garn/fufu-glow-in-the-dark-1000-m.html The thread is very thin and forgiving, but sometimes it breaks, it could be, that Superior Glowy will be a better choice. All feathers are freehand, I only make a plastic stencil for the outer shape (like method Pam Clarke), draw around with the violet air earaisible pen, so I could see where the feathers has to stop. In the middle I make also a plastic heart stencil for drawing around. All straight and diagonal lines are quilted with my Little Girl Ruler (very nead thing...love it, it´s so handy) The original Quilt Pattern is from Bernadette Mayr, very easy freecut method. Here you can have a look what is still in this kind book http://www.bernadette-mayr.de/buch-inhalt2.htm You are all so great best wishes from the other side of the ocean!
