  1. Very cute mermaids and bathing box. Yikes, those bathing boxes are pricey! I will have to settle for a folding chair and a towel in the sand the next time I go to the beach. Just being on the beach is a good thing … 🙂 Pat

  2. What a great idea! You triggered an “I wonder if” thought which is: what if the beach houses were appliqued with bright fabrics like the many different cabins in your photo? Thanks for sharing.

  3. The mermaids are so sweet looking and so beautifully drawn and stitched. I sure could use your resident drawing artist myself. You did great drawing the beach hut. And again, your stitching is gorgeous. This is a very fun idea for the blog hop. The design is adorable. I’ve never seen these beach huts in real life either but they sure would be a blast of fun to see them planted on the beach edge. Always so brightly colored.

  4. My first comment disappeared before I hit the submit button I think so if I leave 2 comments I’m sorry.
    Your bathing box is just perfect, and the mermaids are beautiful. One more adorable than the next. Both capture the salt and sand theme of this hop.

  5. Oh, Joy, this is just awesome! I’ve made some applique beach houses/boxes on a quilt, but I love these embroidered ones. I had no idea that beach houses like those in your pictures were expensive, but now I want to go look into them. They are so colorful and fun looking! Thank you for sharing them with us!

  6. I just love mermaids! You will see when it’s my day ;). I haven’t dove into hand embroidery yet but these mermaid make me what to try! Thank you.

  7. I did get to see some in person when I was visiting a friend in England, and they are even more interesting in person – all sorts of different colours, decorations, themes, etc. This would definitely make a fun quilt with a bunch of different unique ones :).

  8. I like your take on the bathing houses, and like you, have never seen them on a beach but sure have seen lots of pictures of them.

  9. I love your bathing box and your mermaids. You know I’ve never seen those little houses in real life either. Do they really exist???? LOL!

  10. Good thing you didn’t go on a mom strike when she was young. LOL That’s okay because you came up with a fabulous idea! Now we need to find an island for sale that has water and coconut trees, and start a Quilter’s Beach! And I think I need to learn to like fish, if I’m going to do that. =P

  11. What beautiful workmanship. I had the pleasuring of getting to see these when I visited a friend in England a few years ago. They are even more interesting than in the pictures – seeing the different colours, decorations, and themes. A quilt with a variety of unique ones would be lovely.

  12. Very cute & when you get over this side we’ll take you down to Mornington where there are heaps & even a few at Lang Lang Beach. You know I love to get my sea fix & had a short one on Saturday & I saw the some beach huts then & a ride on the chair lift at Arthur’s Seat.
    How about a surfboard propped at the side (giggle). Oh & one down there for sale at $450,000. That did make my jaw drop…….Take care & stay safe.

  13. I adore those bathing boxes and your stitching is just too cute!! I had a friend who rented one of those each summer. I guess being a California girl who grew up near the beach, I just couldn’t see the point of it. Dragging all the stuff to the beach seemed like part of the experience!!

  14. Joy the mermaids and bathing house are just so much beach fun! I second the dream of living beachside. What fun that would be. Thank you for sharing your sweet design/pattern

  15. What a great idea and perfect execution! I love bright bathing houses, although there aren’t so many places that I have seen on the East coast.

  16. I’m with you on the dream of beach living. We will continue to make our dreams come true by stitching beachy things like your super sweet bathing box house. Thanks for offering the pattern!

  17. What a beautiful bathing house – the bright colors are terrific. I agree that a quilt with lots of them would be amazing. Thank you for the download. Enjoy warmth, sand, and the water with or without a real bathing house.

    1. Joy both your bathing house and your mermaids are great. I enjoyed my visit today Have a great one.

  18. I love the quilter’s bathing box and thank you for the pattern. When we walked the Suffolk coastal path we saw a lot of these beach huts and they really are pretty.
