Burlap has a special place in my heart. \u00a0The smell brings back memories of sacks of produce collected at my grandfather's orchard –potatoes, oranges, lemons, sour apples and my favorite, the smell of roasted coffee. \u00a0When I was a child my grandpa used to keep us busy and took us to the orchard to “work”. \u00a0He would allow us to collect the wild strawberries that grew, as we would call it today, “organically”. \u00a0Like many kids, it was “One strawberry for the container and two for me” until I couldn't eat anymore.<\/p>\n

Then, we would move into collecting the red juicy fruit of the coffee plant taking care not to remove the stalk of the fruit and not to get pricked by the caterpillars that could be found sometimes under the leaves. \u00a0My cousins and I would work until our arms got tired from trying to reach the higher branches of the Arabica coffee plants. \u00a0After losing interest, we would put our buckets down and play hide and seek for hours among the orchard trees, eating, running and hiding. \u00a0The wall of burlap sacks filled with roasted coffee was always my preferred place to hide. \u00a0The smell and look of burlap today transports me back to those days when we ran young and free.<\/p>\n

For this tutorial, you will need two yards of burlap. \u00a0This is enough to make a table runner and six placemats.<\/p>\n
