To Do Tuesday

As always, there are multiple projects on my To Do list happening all at the same time. 

A very important task on that To Do list was to get new cushions for my front porch chairs.  I've been looking locally and online and just never could find what I thought I wanted.  But Monday I tagged along to Menards with my husband on an errand . . . and bought these.  It's a huge improvement over the old faded solid red ones.  I think they look quite summery and nice.

Row 1 of Shibori Blues is all sewn together, and the other 6 rows are pinned into sets and ready to go.  This may be my primary project this week, but in between I have a couple of other things ready to sew as well.  When I get bored with Shibori, I'll just work on something else for awhile.

Last month while reorganizing some fabric and dealing with scraps, I cut the black and white parts for several more Night Vision blocks.  Each month I've been making 3 with the RSC color, so this month will be blue.  I have one block begun using a lighter blue, and the pieces are cut for a brighter/darker shade of blue.  Also, when I did the pink ones, I had cut one piece that was too "peachy" and so now there are 4 peach/coral pieces cut.  I need to find 4 more blue chunks for my third blue block, but haven't decided yet if I want to stick with those lighter shades or go darker.  

As a leader/ender this week I'll work on making a couple more of the strawberry blocks.  I need at least 3 more for my bed runner, but also want to make at least 1 for the guild bus trip in just over a week.  Maybe I'll get lucky and win a whole bunch of strawberry blocks on that bus trip.   

These 3 projects should keep me busy all week - in between more paper shredding for work.
