Progress Inside and Out!

This is definitely the pattern I am going to use for the blanket!
It is an easy 3 row repeat that I hope even I can remember the rhythm!
It is a type of Tuck stitch on my standard gauge machine.
 I cut the tropical fish fabric and added my 'maids;
Yes, this will be a cute little quilt. 
I am going to use the fish fabric to make a border also.
 I finished up the quilting on the Around the World Christmas quilt.
The binding will be applied soon!
 This is going on outside right now!
 I haven't had a paved driveway since I was a girl!
Just wait until you see the driveway when it's complete!

  1. That is a very pretty stitch. How exciting to get a new driveway! David already has plans to ride his ripstick on it. :)

  2. Well, we both have quite the mess going on. At least yours is outside. Lucky you.
    I love that blanket pattern. It reminds me of the one I used for #1 grandson's blankie. It turned out great but the yarn was terrible and it pilled up badly. Live and learn. Don't skimp on the yarn for babies.

  6. I love the fish pattern with the mermaids! So sweet. I think I've knitted a very similar pattern in a baby blanket before. It makes such a pretty blanket.
    A new driveway! I remember when we put asphalt in on the driveway in our first home. It made a HUGE difference in the amount of dirt we tracked in. I'm looking forward to the 'after' photos.
    Blessings,

  7. Love love love the blanket pattern. I read that you can set your homepage to your current post. I do that. Can you try to? That way I don't have to keep clicking until I get your current post. I always show february of 2016 when I go to your bookmarked site. What am I doing?

  8. Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo....smelly work going on outside, but I bet you'll love it when it is done. Those dirt driveways can get pretty rutted in the rainy season.

    I love the pattern you chose for your new blanket. It's so pretty and delicate.

    P.S. New blog address for me: DeeKissinger.blogspot.com Hope you'll come around. My first post is up.
