If you’ve been following my crafty blog for the last six months or so, you might have noticed a footnote at the bottom of each post.
And hey, look at that! The end date on the banner is July 5! Well I’ll be…that’s today!
If you have been working on a Harry Potter Paper Piecing challenge quilt top, this is it, THE LAST DAY to get those entries in. Please post a link to your photo on any of the challenge posts on Livejournal, email it to me or post it to the flickr group.
If you’re running a little behind, please keep in mind that I usually make the Tuesday post on hp_paperpiecing fairly early in the morning (usually 8 or 9 am Central Standard Time). As long as I have your photo before the Tuesday post goes up, your quilt will make it in for voting. If you are running really late, your best bet will be to email your photo directly to. After checking LJ and the flickr group, my email is the always the last place I look before I post on Tuesday! Once the poll goes up, it’s up (LJ does not allow changes to polls), so please make sure you get your photos in asap!
Despite sounding like someone’s grandpa, Elder Futhark is actually a runic alphabet.
Runes are fascinating and you have to admit, they just look cool! My own interest in runes lies in the fantastic. Runes constantly pop up in my favorite fantasy stories, and honestly, I just couldn’t resist taking advantage of the graphic nature of runes to create quilt patterns with them! That said…
I’ve created a complete set of runic letters using the Elder Futhark alphabet, which are now available in the Sewhooked Shop as an instant PDF download with PayPal payment (completely secure shopping through E-junkie!).

What do you get?
24 – 5″ finished (5 1/2″ unfinished) paper pieced patterns, all ranging from beginner to intermediate skill level. None of the blocks is particularly taxing, but some are a little more involved.
Each block has been tested by me and edited to be the simplest, cleanest piecing I could possibly make it.
Now the obvious question is what will I use my rune blocks for? Hmm…. A quilt border? A quilt center? An awesome tablerunner or wall hanging? Just the beginning of a Norse quilt of Doom? Who knows?!

Since I talked about Harry Potter fabric in my last Talk To Me Tuesday, I thought this photo would make a perfect follow-up Fabric Friday!
I’m thrilled to announce that after months of research, sleepless nights, filing of papers, designing, stitching and lots and LOTS of work, the Sewhooked Shop is finally online!
I’m starting with just a few products, all available for instant download with PayPal payment. Every pattern is also available for wholesale. Contact me for more information at sewhooked@gmail.com.

Hi, my name is Jennifer, and I am a peanut butter junkie.
If I was alone on a desert island and could only bring one food?
Stressed-out comfort food?
Favorite thing to eat with chocolate?
I think you get the idea!
I like all-natural, no sugar or stuff-added peanut butter and I’ve tried all variety of brands, organic, and not. The one thing that I can’t get over is how expensive plain ole peanut butter can be. I can really go through the stuff and it just never lasts long enough!
In a recent out-of-peanut-butter-crisis, I decided to try and make my own. The slightly astonishing thing is that I had no directions and I didn’t try to find a recipe. And it worked! It worked so well, I’ve already eaten it all and made another batch. Nom!
It’s super easy – 16 oz of roasted, salted peanuts in the variety of your choice. Toss that into your food processor (it’s a must, sorry if you don’t have one!), Add about 1 tbs vegetable oil. I used corn oil, but I’m sure peanut oil would be even more awesome.
Process for about three minutes or until smooth. Move to a bowl and refrigerate.
Eat! Really, that’s it!
Nomnomnom!
Next time, I think I’ll try roasting my own peanuts…
