Maple Leaf Table Runner from The Quilt Yarn

Did some more work on my Maple leaves...this is going to be a table runner.


I did a Maple Leaf quilt some years ago...it was published in the Australian Patchwork & Quilting magazine, Vol 21, No3 and was titled Autumn Leaves.
I don't have this quilt anymore. It went with me all the way to Germany in 2013 as a gift to my sister-in-law. Had to dig around to find the magazine to have a bit of a look how I tackled this quilt because this is now quite a while back. This was really interesting because I ...

I have been slowly embroidering free form leaves since then.

and I put it away for another year.
Some year I will finish the embroidery and then quilt ...

Saturday Sewing and Such in the Scrapatch from Life in the Scrapatch



I made this Peach Jam Coffee Cake yesterday 
while the weather was a little cooler.
It is forecast to turn very warm again in a few days.
In New England, the weather can change quickly and frequently.

I started with this recipe for


and I added a little nutmeg and mace to enhance the flavor of the jam.
This recipe makes a thick batter to hold the jam on top while it bakes. 

I spooned large dollops of this thick jam in a rind midway around the edges 
  and added a big spoonful in the center ...
