New puppy!

This is Miss Penny Lane, or Penny for short. She is an 8 week old Mini Goldendoodle. Mr Wazoo and I drove to North Carolina and picked her up, and then she was a perfect puppy on the ride home. We have watched many Youtube training videos to prepare, so (of course) the first thing she did was poop in her pen, walk through it, and then sit on it. First partial bath came next. She cried a bit when I put her back in the pen after playtime, but is laying down quietly now and watching a spot of TV. Good girl! I think she is going to be a fairly big dog, but we're okay with that. She was the largest of the litter and nobody else wanted her. We are suckers for such a sad story. Plus, we really wanted a puppy.

Back to work tomorrow. It should be interesting since I will also be watching Penny in the studio. We have a pen there, too. She goes to the vet in the afternoon, so we'll find out if she is healthy and ready for her new adventure here at Wazoo.

Awwww...

Wide awake and happy.

I hand fed her and she liked that.

All smiles

Eating supper in her new playpen. Later, she sat in the water dish and got everything wet!

Conked out after the play session.

I did some work yesterday trying to prepare for the chaos that will come tomorrow. I finished one customer panto quilt, almost finished the embroidered quilt, and finished the big repair!! Yippee!

I really admire the job done here. This is the customer's first quilt! She has a wonderful eye for color.

She requested a leafy pattern. This is Maple Wind in a variegated King Tut thread.

The backing fabric is perfect for the quilt.

I am working the sashing and borders on the custom quilt, and hope to finish it tomorrow. There is one more in the group, done in pastel colors.

The big repair is done! I washed it and had to replace almost all the fabrics in one of the blocks that disintegrated . I think the dirt was the only thing holding the fabric together!

Here is the block I replaced and re-quilted after washing.

The backing is this beautiful red. fabric. It was also in another quilt I repaired for the same customer! The quilter really used her scraps.
