WIP: A Standstill

I seem to be in a holding pattern around here. I looked up at my calendar today and thought?  The 25th!?!?!? After returning from our long family vacation, we had family arrive for a visit and I realize that my Symphony has only been touched ONCE this whole month.  Time to rectify that situation!!! 

 Finishes:

 Diaper Clutch

I made this right before we left for our vacation.  I adapted a tutorial I found the night before we left. 

Yes.  I made something the night before we left.  I have definitely lost my mind! 

Stay tuned for more details this week!  With company in town, I just can't get my head together and I need to find the link again!

 Baby Boy Quilts for Twins

In Progress:

 July's Bee block for do. Good Stitches.

Can I take credit for someone else's work?  

I know it is cheating!

  I just wanted to share what has arrived on my doorstep so far!

FANTASTIC, no?  If you are looking for a tutorial I posted links last Tuesday!

Baby girl quilt kit

Thank you quilt 

Merry, Merry Snowman BOM

New Projects:

Name Swap

I joined a quilt swap in June, thinking that I would have a ton of time to get a quilt done.  I missed out on Samelia's Mum's first round and was determined to join the second round!

 

However, it needs to be done the 31st.

  Commence chuckling at me NOW!

EDITED TO ADD: 
Seriously, don't stop laughing.......I just realized I couldn't link up with Freshly Pieced because it is THURSDAY.

Yup...that is my life right now!

Boy Quilts for Twins

Finished!

I think?

I washed them yesterday and I love how crinkly they are!

And I even remembered to put the label on, instead of last minute, like usual. I have to admit, I will never put a label on a quilt without a frame ever again.  It just makes the label more intentional and a part of the quilt rather than an after thought like I think some of my quilt labels have looked in the past!

And I am REALLY happy with the fact that I chose two different animals.

I really tried to make what are matching quilts, different.  By two different animal appliques, different color orders of their names, and also swapping different fabrics on each quilt to make them not quite exactly the same!

 The only thing I have left to do is to clip some stray threads from washing and I have one debate.

Do you think the giraffe and elephant need a smile? 

 I am debating adding some on real quick before I mail them off tomorrow!
