I bought the fabric in May for this Oh Cherry Oh table topper project. I'm just now finding time to work on it. I saw the project at ModaBakeshop.com and absolutely fell in love with it. I had to search quite a bit to get the "Oh Cherry Oh" moda fabric. I'm so excited to finally be started on this. It's a new year of projects! Don't forget to drop by Brandie's to sign up for today's giveaway!
