Case in point. We have a credenza in our entryway. We needed a Christmas table runner. I pulled out one I started last year, but my daughter wrinkled up her nose and said "It doesn't look like Christmas!"
Here is the way it looked to start with.
Okay, DD was right. Nothing pizazzy about this.So let's try to rework the fabric.
Cut the middle section out. And add something "Christmasy".
I even like the way the Free Motion Quilting added some swirlies to the runner.
Ta-Da!
Looks much better :-)Now on to the tree skirt!
I hope you are having fun decorating for Christmas.
Happy Quilting!!

Great redesign! Our bins full of decorations are sitting in the livingroom. You've inspired me to empty them!
I need to make a tree skirt too...maybe some pillows too! So much to do! I need motivation. Going to turn off this computer and go clean my house now. lol
Great Christmas table runner!
Love the new runner! Have fun decorating!
Awsome redesign and you finished a UFO!! BONUS!! Beautiful and simple!
How cute is that - and it just looks so pretty on your credenza! DD was right - this one is much prettier! Can't wait to see the tree skirt!
That would brighten any room for the holidays - super nice!
