A closer look at the

 bonus quilt/wall hanging 2012.

The photo of the puppies in the wheelbarrow, that was used for the idea for the bonus quilt, was taken over 10 years ago.  They were from a wonderful litter born to Alpenglow Borealis Rose "Rosie" and Agustas William Bay McCray "Gus".  It was my first experience raising puppies, as well as my first time taking photos with a digital camera.  I learned a lot from both the pups and the camera.  There were suppose to be 9 in the photo, but that never happened, no matter how many shots I took.  After many attempts, and my son standing by to retrieve the escapees, this is the best photo we came up with.  There is a pup on either end, both more interested in what's on the ground than looking at the camera and a couple in the bottom of the wheelbarrow playing around.  So, there weren't 9 in the photo, but they were all in attendance. What a fun time it was with all those pups running around.

The puppy on the far left is Leda, the one I chose to keep for my own.  She didn't make it to the final quilt design.  I told her it was because she wasn't paying attention.  The rest from left to right are Bounty, Bran, Dooley, Copper, Winnie and Andy (also not paying attention).    In the bottom of the wheelbarrow were Bay Boy and Bibbiana.
