The Colorful Fabriholic: September Stash Report and Goals Recap

I didn't have much time for sewing this month because I was able to enjoy some Grandma time at the beach. See photos below. I did manage a little stash usage and enhancement, though.

Stash Report:
September IN: 4-1/2 yards (Purchases from A&E Fabrics, Pensacola, 4-1/2 yards)
September OUT: 8-1/2 yards (Backing for CJ's Big Boy Bed Quilt - 5-1/2 yards; binding for same, 3/4 yards. September N4Nb quilt, 2-1/4 yards.)

YTD IN: 105-5/8 yards
YTD OUT: 106-1/2 yards
YTD Net Change: 7/8 yard OUT

Since my goal is to break even for the year and the stash has been ahead the last few months, this is good progress. I should have some additional usage in October with retreat projects so I'm hoping to be able to count some more out soon.
