This really is the event that started it all for me.
In September of 2008, Nanette of Freda's Hive posted a tutorial on how to make a darling cottage block.
Go back and re-live the fun or see it for the first time, great friendships were made!

Have you seen Robyn's GREAT bag pattern in the latest issue of Down Under Quilts? To call it a 'bag' is so mundane, it's a wonderful ACceSSoRy that is also very useful! I love the front pocket!

Too cute pattern. Put my name in the hat....or should I say apron pocket!
Ugh, you had to bring up the cottages! Mine are sitting in a drawer right now! LOL I really do need to finish that quilt. I was trying to remember when I started reading your blog and this post jogged my memory. I came for the party and never went home! Thanks for letting me hang out for the past ten months!!
I love those cottages. I didn't know about blogging yet so I missed out on the swap, but I have made a few since I found her blog.
Great pattern and who doesn't ove rick rack!
Oh do I love aprons - such fond memories of my grandmother and mother with their aprons on!!
Wow, Mel....I think that is so cool that Nanette inspired you to start blogging! I am going to go back and take a look! You are an amazing blogger and creative, inspirational friend! Happy Blogiversary!!!

i've never ever done an apron yet... maybe my first lucky time...??
I remember the cottages and the tours. I was so upset because of other committments I could not do the swap.
I finally found time and hosted a themed cottage swap and we just received the September ones.
Please count me in the giveaway, the apron looks very nice.
Yes it is a lovely Bag Robyn made and I will have to get the magazine, it you like it let me know and I pick one up for you.
cheers

I"ve not made any aprons but they are certainly back in style, so put my name down for this one, too. You are a sweetie to do such a nice giveaway for your blog's anniversary.
That is when I first met you, what a fun time that was!! and I still have my pink cottages!!
Can't believe it's been a year since those houses started showing up on so many blogs... I wish I could have joined in...
That apron pattern would make a great start for a Christmas present...
Hello Mel, I'm not sure how it works, but I love the apron, just hope I wasn't too late :(
Of course I remember your "House Warming Party"! That's when I first met you...and I won Nanette's great kit!
This is a clever way to acquaint people with your blog. Love the apron patterns.
The pattern is really cute Thanks for the chance to win.
Very sweet -- looks like lots of fun! :)
I was here for your cottage house warming! I loved all your goodie bags too! I have really enjoyed coming to your blog!
