Hello all my dear friends! I have missed you – one week without writing to you!
Easter week was extra busy! We had a big dinner party – more than 50 people – friends and relatives. Now we are almost back to normal every day rutin.
When I came back home today, Hanna had missed me. She was more than happy to be a model when we took out some patchwork blocks. When I started to think a quilt, where even my dogs would be allowed to lie, I picked this old brown fabric and simple white to clear it.
I don’t like much that brown but it’s perfect for making different blocks and testing and learning new ones. And with white – I may even like it a little bit.
I haven’t made any patchwork or even one block for a while and I miss that. These I have made perhaps last month … it was nice just to see them and remember that ‘there they are’! I like the shape of triangle and square.
This beautiful purple-green bush is called here ‘Thrumbi’. It smells like oregano and grows wild. We have it in many places in the garden and this time it’s full of tiny flowers and it has wonderful smell. I wish again I could send you that smell!
Would you like to go for a quick walk to the beach? Today at work we thought to have a walk to the nearest beach to take few photos.
Here we begin from the road front of ‘Maherida Holiday Homes’ …
This area is ‘Maherida’ and the name of this small beach is also Maherida. In 5 minutes we were on the beach - slowly walking, no running …
I just love the colours all around this time of the spring! Nature’s patchwork!
This beach is really small bay and if you continue walking other 5 minutes you reach the second bay of Maherida.
During the winter the sea is often rough and storms and big waves bring all kind of things to the beach … unfortunately mostly rubbish … but if you are lucky you may see something interesting …
I found this rope! … then back to work … all the walk took only 15 minutes …
New nameplate and the gate are on their place … come to see how it looks in the garden of our ‘Holiday Homes’!
In the morning the sky was gray but finally we had the most beautiful, sunny day!
There is more than 100 olive trees around us! We have put some geraniums around. Two homes are now ready for holiday guests and when I finish the other two, I shall plant more flowers and some herbs.
That last picture of Nero is really beautiful. So are the pictures of the beach. How nice to have such a lovely place to walk. Quite different from the forest where we walk. We would never find something as neat as that large rope. Your apartments look very nice too.
I like the patchwork quilt colors. Hanna looks like she cannot wait for it to be finished!
The comments are working for me.
Hi Teje & Nero
Its all looking so welcoming and the beaches are fantastic, the quilts are looking fine too! I’m hoping that we may be coming to visit you later in the year… fingers crossed. Teje, you can teach me patchwork amongst other things!!!??? have an amazing weekend, we here in uk are preparing for ‘the Wedding’ tomorrow, which I am watching at a friend’s as we dont possess a tv. hugs to all furry and nonfurry friends. xxx
Hi Teje, what a wonderful pictures of a beautiful place! It must be great to live there. I don’t particularly like brown either, but in your patchwork it looks great, especially with the blue added to it. Hugs for the dogs, Dorien
It is fun to get back to making blocks again isn’t it? But I have to admit I really enjoy your walk through the beach and garden… and how cool is that rope!! Just a lovely break in my day. Thank you for that!
Gorgeous photos! That quilt is going to be lovely.
Oh, it’s all so beautiful … the flowers and the beach, and the white homes with livable rooftops! And your quilt looks like windmills, just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing everything! I’m stuck in the city, and this is just what I needed to see!
I swore I already commented but I don’t see it there…oh well. As usual, I LOVE when you share your home and beautiful view with us.
The quilt squares are great! I love how a few movements of the blocks can create a totally different look.
Have a wonderful weekend.
What a beautiful place you live in. Nero is such a handsome dog, and so bif when I look at Higgins! Penny x
Woops, I hit the wrong key! I mean BIG not ‘bif’! Px
The beach looks gorgeous!!! I love your patchwork blocks, too, they’re lovely!!!
Your apartments look so inviting! What a nice place to come visit. Nero looks so happy! What a great photo.
I like the layout of your quilt blocks. I can see that put together into a gorgeous quilt!

Such pretty blocks … and an even prettier beach! Thanks for the lovely photos, and thank you for linking up to WIP Wednesday. : )
I am terrible when I have not done a little stitching or knitting for a little while so I know what you mean about that.
The colours for your quilt look nice and earthy.
How nice of you to share lovely pictures, I do enjoy seeing them.
Enjoy your coming weekend. xx
Hellooo! I found my way to your blog and showed my mommy your pictures — she says you’re a beautiful doggie and wants to know what kind you are.
Happy Sunday woofs & hugs,
