Today is my day to join in with the Holiday Lane Pillow Blog Hop.
Thanks again to the great Mdm Samm for her inspiration and guidance through all these fun hops this year and thanks to the lovely Pauline for organizing and making this one a complete success :)
Now I must preface this with admitting that I didn't make a pillow, (hangs head in shame,lol!)...
I thought I would be more likely to use a table topper so I went that direction...and had a bit of fun with it...
Here I added little minibulbs to the corners...
I used reds, greens and blacks from my stash, added some top stitching to complement the raw edge fusible applique then added some sparkles and bobbles to accent it. I tried to make it "minimalist with bling"...is that possible?
These are the minibulbs I used, they came from Walmart...
Please be sure to visit all the other ladies that are sharing this posting day with me and enjoy this last day of the hop!

Very pretty table topper! Love those little lights. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely No reason to hang your head in shame! You made your Holiday Lane project to please yourself, and that is how it should be. I gave up trying to please others...., create to please yourself first if others like it, that's a bonus! And your topper is GREAT!! What cute little lights you added to the tree!!! A marvelous find and just the perfect amount of bling! Sometimes more is not more its just too much, lol
Your pillow reflects you and it is wonderful!!
Wonderful table runner and I love those little minibulbs - thanks for sharing.
I love this pattern and it is so nice to see how everyone has made it their own with embellishments....
I love it and I think it is so cute as a tablerunner. Might have to make one for next year,lol!
Very cute table runner, thanks for sharing.
Your table runner is very cute and a good idea to make the pattern to a table runner,
Thanks for sharing
Your tablerunner is beautiful. The black dot backgrounds looks just like snow. The Christmas lights are such a wonderful idea. Wish I had thought of it since I have a ton that I bought years ago still sitting around.
Fabulous runner - and I love the addition of the lightbulbs! I've never seen bulbs that tiny in the UK
Thanks for sharing!
Great job and good that you made something you would use. It turned out lovely.
Lovely table runner. Those light bulbs are so cute - they add the right amount of punch. (Like your snow fabric as well.)
Love what you did and that you made a table runner!
Love your pillow! and Congrats on making Top 3!
Love it Kris!
very cute pillow.
So original using the mini bulbs. What a wonderful idea
I love your polka dot sky! And those little bulbs are an adorable addition!
Oh Kris this is darling! I love the bulbs and yes I think minimalist with bling was going on here. :) The colors are wonderful and I especially love the fabric you used in the tallest red tree - the swirls. blessings, marlene
I love it!! What a perfect table runner!
Soo nice pillow,that mini bulbs are super cool!
Very cute, I like the colours you've used:)
Hi!!! It is very pretty!!!
Hi Kris! I love the idea of a table-topper! Super cute with the addition of the tiny lights!
No need to hang your head - making something you'll use is the best! And the little lights will add a good sparkle to these long winter nights that are upon us (bah, humbug for long winter nights).
That is adorable, I like the mini lights that you added, perfect touch!
Such a great tablerunner with all those little bulbs...very nice!
I would rather have a wall hanging or table runner too. Great job!

Making your pattern into a table runner is no shame. It turned out lovely and the mini-lights are adorable.

Very cute, and truth is I would probably use the table runner more than a pillow myself. Love your work. Thanks for sharing.
