Now that all my children are independent, and I was free of babies, I just didn't know what to do with myself.... Just kidding!!!
After Puppy passed I was really thinking of a new dog, but I was debating as to when that would be. One of my Sons works outdoors 75% of the year and he wanted a dog to take with him. So we were talking of it.
Then there was a plea to help a lady in town rehome her puppies.... and we thought - lets go take a look....crazy last words right?
So!!! we now have a new puppy... we got her last week ( the 17th) and she was 9 weeks old - and oh puppy!!! I did not remember that puppies love to wake up in the middle of the night haha!!
She is super smart - or at least I think so. She is learning to be in the crate at night, and she loves it. She *almost* heels... or at least tries to bite your feet haha!!! I have her sitting, as well as learning where it is she can run.. I am impressed with her.
On Day 3 of owning her - we took her on a hike. I expected that she would be carried most of the hike - but she was a trooper
I am enjoying her, and then when she is better trained, she can go with my son and when he has to work inside or travel elsewhere she can stay with me!
Win -Win!!
Now onto the Batik!!!
Last year... I went Quilt shop Hopping with some friends - and in Lyons Colorado there is a Quilt store...called Lyons Quilting. I bought a Batik Jelly Roll. I came home - started the blocks... and now....
Forward progress.... we are in TOP form!!! Yay!!!
The blues are really pretty and to me sort of Wintery - I may have to quilt something wintery on it, Snowflakes or Swirls.... we will see. First I have to figure out what I want on the back.

Cute puppy! I'm glad she's learning quickly. Your jelly roll quilt top is beautiful - I love that design! (Love Lyons Quilting, too!:)
Cute puppy and gorgeous quilt! How big did it turn out?
Bella is a cutie! Your blue batik is beautiful! I do like the double hour glass block...I made one years ago, perhaps it is time for another?!
Bella looks like an adorable girl. Sounds like you know how to wear out the puppy energy and I bet she'll turn into a great trail companion. How big do you think she will get?
And I agree that the quilt top has a nice wintery feel. Hopefully there is something perfect for the backing in your stash!
Your new fur baby is adorable! Love your quilt & yes I visited Lyons Quilting (& spent money) when we were in Colorado this past July =) I look forward to seeing what design you use on the quilt.

Your new puppy is adorable. Congratulations and have lots of fun with her. I love the blues in your quilt.
Congratulations on the puppy-she is a sweetie! The new blue quilt is so pretty! Nice job turning the jelly roll into a jolly quilt!
Puppy breath! My puppy is almost 2 years old now. They grow fast. Glad she likes to hike and be outdoors (good for both you and your son). Nice quilt top.
Bella is a lucky re-homed puppy! I know you will have fun with her (even in the middle of the night LOL)
What a cutie! When you said you went to look at puppies I thought you each got one, not one to share!
She looks like a very good girl. Congrats on the new puppy. Those blue batiks made a beautiful quilt. Have fun deciding on the back and the quilting.
Bella sure looks sweet. We have a new puppy in the family too. I've made Waylon a nap mat with dog fabric for when he visits. Love that quilt top with all the blues and whites.
Love that pattern- I have made a couple of them. Love the blues. I am not a dog person, but I am glad that you are. I have a rescue cat- more my speed. The hike sounded wonderful.
Congrats on the new puppy - she's adorable. Love your batik blue quilt - it is gorgeous - and a wintry motif would be perfect.
Your new puppy is adorable! She looks like she's going to be hard to give up!
And what's her name?
your blues quilt is sooo pretty...love blue and white anything
Bella is such an adorable puppy!! I love your quilt too! LOL
I like that pattern a lot. The batik jelly roll really works well in that pattern. An excellent finish.
