Great idea!

Did you only make one pass with the glow in the dark thread? I used it on my bug jar quilt and didn't see much glow after having it in the light for quite a while. Maybe I needed to sew over it a 2nd time?
You did a great job

A black light for some reason or another seems to super charge it and is what we used to photograph it with a long exposure.
