August roundup and September OMG

Rabbit, rabbit!  
It's the first of the month.  
(Here is the explanation of the saying.) 

You can hear the chorus: "Where has the summer gone?"  

Texas friends and relatives report that they escaped major flooding from Hurricane Harvey. I chose to send money rather than quilts to aid relief efforts right now.  I can send quilts later.

I came to the conclusion that the house would not clean itself.  I had really let things get out of hand.   Never again!  I engaged a house cleaner who was recomended by a friend. She spent *18* hours on the upstairs and it looks wonderful.  We're going to have her come once a month.  (My studio is downstairs. I will tackle that.) 

Here's the stash report:  
Fabric in, January-July:  203-2/3, $827.99
Fabric in, August: 47, $177.05
Total fabric in, YTD: 250-5/8, $1005.14, average $4.00
   (among the bargains this month: an all-cotton duvet cover, 8 yards for $3!)
Fabric out, January-July: 336-1/4
Fabric out, August:  48-1/2
Total fabric out, YTD:  384-3/4 
    (that includes fabric given away and fabric sold, as well as fabric sewn)
Net: 134 yards out

My entry for the OMG September is to finish the Tree Farm quilt.  I made two green trees last night. The third tree is ready to assemble.  We will be on vacation (hooray!) from September 10-21 so I won't have much sewing time.  Here is the linkup:  One Monthly Goal 



















I took this picture on my postprandial walk last evening.  The ring around the sun and the milky clouds are from the Canadian wildfires 1,000 miles away.
