Yesterday’s biggest accomplishment was getting the water pump on my dye sink replaced so I can dye fabric and make soap again. It seems that I have to replace it about every 5 – 7 years. I should be good until at least 2031 now.

After that was done I got back to quilting.

I’ll have it done today for sure after my lunch out and some errands. There are only a few rows left to do.

You can see a peek of the backing fabric. I’m really happy with it and glad that I dug it out of my stash. It’s probably been waiting 10 years for this quilt.

    Waiting ten years for this quilt – proves there’s a good reason to save things!

    Isn’t it great to find the perfect piece for something?
    The panto is just perfect for this one.

    It is amazing how long we hold fabric back isn’t it, LOL. I think this was what it was meant for:)

    I have some backing fabrics that have been waiting 20+ years, and it is so much fun matching one up with a new quilt top. It’s amazing how fast 10 years passes while we are having fun.
