Project Design Team Thursday – Americana Table Topper

Hi there! I can’t believe we are quickly approaching July! I love decorating my home for all the different holiday’s and seasons! So when I saw the new Americana II line, I knew I had to have something made from these lovely and festive prints!

I came up with this simple table topper pattern – that I think perfectly suits these beautiful fabrics. This sews up rather quickly and you could easily finish this project up in a day!
