Mrs. Claus Christmas Table Topper Pattern
Amy Chappell is sharing a free tutorial for an adorable Quilted Christmas Table Topper. This fun quilt pattern could easily be used as a mini quilt or a Christmas pillow as well.
Don’t you just love the table topper that Amy has created for today’s free tutorial? The fabric on the table topper is from my new line with Riley Blake called Santa Claus Lane. Amy is using one of the panels from the line as the center of her table topper!
If you don’t have access to the panel, you can use any other novelty fabric. She lists the dimensions for that piece below.

When I saw the panel from Melissa’s new line- Santa Claus Lane, I knew exactly what project I wanted to make with it. This Mrs. Claus Bakery Table topper turned out even cuter than I pictured it! It’s a super simple quilt and quick and easy to make! Ready to sew? Let’s go!!
Note: all seams are ¼”. Please read all directions before beginning.

About the Designer:
Hi! My name is Amy Chappell, and I blog over at Ameroonie Designs. I currently live in Wyoming with my husband and six kids. I love being a mom but needed an outlet that would give me something to do that stayed done. Enter sewing and creating. I love the satisfaction of taking fabric and ideas and making something new. I also love that blogging has given me a way to meet new people and find a community of amazing people who love fabric and sewing as much as I do.
