Added in August: 24.75 yards
Added YTD: 81.75 yards
Used this Week: .125 yards (2 swap blocks & snap coin purse)
Used in August: 23.5 yards
Used YTD: 127.535 yards
Stash Reduction: 45.91 yards
My goal for 2012 was to add less than 100 yards and I am not doing well on that front since I have added about 10.25 yards a month. 4 months at that rate will be 120+ yards added so I have to slow down. On the other front, this month I added only 1.25 yards more than I used so I am very happy with my usage this month. I wanted to reduce my stash by 50 to 75 yards and I am very close to the lower end of that goal. When I complete Saint Stars and Halloween, that goal will be attained.
Now to reach my goal, I have to stay out of quilt shops until Festival and then limit my fabric purchases to less than 20 yards. I can do this.
Judy L's UFO for September is #11 Round Robin Top. All I have to do is find it, make a back for it, and send it to DD#1. It may be there a while since Isaac left lots of water to be dealt with and took out the electricity for much of the surrounding area. They had phone and Internet until Friday, but I still get texts from her so I am not frantic and trying to drive to Maurepas to check on them.

For Katrina, she had only 1/2 a house left when the storm was over. They didn't have electricity and when they finally got it, her family of 6 lived in 3 rooms. So to her this is nothing too much to be concerned about. My daughter is a strong woman who deals b/c she knows it will all be right in the end. Such Faith! With 2 generators for power, she is dealing day by day and learning to do hexies. She is making a black and white star while waiting to get outside for the clean up.
My heart goes out to all the people who are displaced due to all the rain water dumped on them when the levee was breached. I just can't imagine surviving a hurricane and then having to deal with high water caused by man- I would be freaking out big time.
Lator Gators! Remember Mind over Matter. If you don't Mind, then it don't Matter. DD#1 is an example of how true that is!
Everything is dry now except driveway. It's a mess from all the standing water.
