Orchard Harvest Thanksgiving

Use Stampin' Up! Orchard Harvest fabric to make this heartfelt table topper and wreath for Thanksgiving.
The wreath is made from 9 twig hearts I found at a craft store and tied together with 1-1/2 in. X 7 in. fabric strips
For the 27 in. square table topper you'll need:
-one pack of Stampin' Up! fabric (126915) or 3 fat quarters of coordinating cotton prints
-0.40 m. (1/3 yd.) of background fabric
-0.80 m. (7/8 yd.) of backing fabric and batting
All seam allowances are a scant 1/4 in.
