    Jaki cudny konik morski! Aż zamarzyła mi się podusia z takim cudem!!!
    Wakacje nad morzem, hm... Jako dziecko co roku rodzice wysyłali mnie na kolonie nad nasze polskie morze. Nawet ospę przechodziłam nad morzem:( Miałam w końcu dość takich wakacji i więcej nie miałam zamiaru oglądać morza. Jednak jako osoba dorosła zatęskniłam i w podróż poślubną pojechaliśmy z mężem nad morze... Było pięknie! Uwielbiam szum fal rozbijających się o brzeg!

    Przepiękny konik morski:) Ten ogonek jest bardzo starannie dopracowany. My mieszkamy nad morzem, więc właściwie każde wakacje spędzamy tutaj. Ciężko byłoby mi się stąd przeprowadzić:)

    Przecudny wzór, Joasiu. Z ogromną przyjemnością ustawiam się w kolejce!!!
    Nad morzem byłam kilka razy. Głównie nad naszym polskim Bałtykiem,ale miałam również przyjemność pomoczyć nogi w Morzu Martwym:)
    Najczęściej jestem jednak u siebie,a że wody w zasięgu wzroku mam sporo, to nad inną wcale mi się nie śpieszy:)

    Konik jest cudowny, ma takie zalotne spojrzenie... śliczne kolorki...
    Ja mieszkam w górach , więc za morzem tęsknię, dawno nie byłam... a najlepsze wakacje, bo aż trzykrotnie spędziłam w Ustce - pięknie jest tam zarówno latem podczas upałów - świetna duża plaża, czysta woda oraz późną jesienią i zimą podczas sztormów.

    As for hoildays by the sea- yes lots! I have lots of happy childhood memories of playing in rock pools with my brother and sister.

    We used to have a small sailboat with cabin. We would go down to the marina and spend the weekend on her as often as possible. Now we spend time at the beach when we get the chance :-)

    One of my favorite places to vacation is in Pacific Grove California on the Pacific Ocean. There is a wonderful boardwalk & tide pools and awesome sunsets. I think I need to go again!

  16. MoodyCatCrafts24 June 2013 at 14:34

    I live by the sea and I'm not too keen on crowds or sun, so we don't tend to go on holiday to the seaside! Great pattern!

    Hi, no I've never even seen the sea. I really want to but I've lived in the middle of Canada my whole life and having made a flight (shudder) or drive (5-7 days) to either end of the country.

    I used to live a short drive away from the ocean so we spent tons of time there growing up :) I definitely miss that! Love this block, thanks for the giveaway!

    It has been too many years (2 or 3) since I've been near the ocean. This is the summer we'll go back. I can't wait! I absolutely love your little sea horse!

    100 years ago when I was in college I lived in an apartment in Isla Vista overlooking the ocean. It was like having a vacation every day - except for the studying.

    Oh my goodness, I love your seahorse so much! I have been fortunate enough to spend some holiday time on the west coast of British Columbia, and it is spectacular. Thanks for the chance to win this amazing pattern.

    Would love a beach house someday, until then we make do with at least a long weekend in a rental.
    Love rock pools and caves

    I love vacations at the ocean or lake, especially now that I have kids. Everyone has something to do, swimming, napping, digging in the dirt, chasing birds, etc.

    I guess everyday is a vacation by the sea now that we live on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska. Every morning I look out the window at the bay and watch the tide come in and out, herons on the beach looking for goodies, and the occasional whale going by. How much more perfect could it be...quilting by the sea would only make it better!

    Eeeeeee, he is so cute!! We go to the ocean every summer with the family, though it is too cold to go in the water. I do like to go to tropical places like Mexico or Costa Rica on my other vacations to make up for that.

    No holidays spent by the sea but we love to visit Monterey, CA often. This seahorse would look awesome in an "ocean" quilt I am making for my husband. I love the pattern.

    I am in LOVE with this little guy. He's awesome.
    Last year we spent the last week of Summer at a beach house. It was fantastic and can't wait to do it again. No agenda. Just us and the dog. Heaven, pure heaven.

    Śliczny wzór konika morskiego!
    Mój wyjazd nad polskie morze był trochę nietypowy... Zamiast beztrosko wylegiwać się na plaży postanowiłam wraz ze swoim chłopakiem, że rowerami wyruszymy wzdłuż wybrzeża. Po wytrwałym tygodniu pedałowania (pieszej wędrówce po plaży w okolicach Parku w Łebie :) ) w końcu dotarliśmy do celu. Przy okazji wiemy już jakie miejscowości nas zauroczyły i warto je jeszcze odwiedzić :)

    Nope. We sometimes go to the beach in the summer for a day, but I have never vacationed there longer.

  39. giddy9925 June 2013 at 16:34

    Most definitely! We used to vacation at least a week on the Gulf of Mexico (Florida and Alabama) nearly every year growing up. When we lived in Deep South Alabama, we'd go to the beach several weekends out of the year. It was wonderful.

    I spent a week with family and friends off the coast of North Carolina once. The best memory was finding a dead (but not stinky) horseshoe crab shell. So prehistoric!

    Piekny ten konik morski!
    Moje najpiękniejsze wakacje miały miejsce w 1976 r . Byłam wtedy moich chorwackich przyjaciół i razem pływaliśmy jachtem ( w dużej mierze własnej produkcji naszego znajomego)po Adriatyku,od Zadaru do Dubrownika i wyspy Mlijet, po drodze odwiedzając cudowne wyspy Kornati,przypominające muszelki popularnych małży przylepionych do skał- priljipek.. Ech....

    I don't do it very often, but I have taken my children to the ocean about 5 years ago. We went to and spent time just playing in the ocean. There were dolphins swimming just a few yards out. Take was really cool. I just love the ocean!

    I've often holidayed by the sea as my husbands father has at little house on the Mornington Peninsula, about one and a half hours drive from where we live. I always enjoy it very much. Thanks so much for the giveaway.

    Oh, Joanna, this is so cute! I haven't been to the sea in many years ... I lived in Florida for a summer right after I got out of college and it was miserable hot and outrageously expensive for a young girl. So my holidays are generally spent closer to home these days ...

    Spending the holidays at the beach is a special gift. Ours was a Panama Canal cruise, and we saw natural beauties along the way from Puerto Rico to Aruba, Panama, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Mexico. I love your seahorse and would like to do a wall hanging in the motif. Thanks!
