Hello friends! I hope you had a wonderful time during the holiday season. I had a good time; Holidays are still bitter-sweet for me. During this time is when I miss my mom the most, but being with family and friends makes it a little easier to get by. I'm really excited about 2013; last year was a very good year. I met many wonderful and talented bloggers, I got my sewing machine and started quilting. I hope to this year learn more things about this wonderful art that is quilting and hopefully by the end of this year have finally conquered my fear to free motion quilting.

I kept pretty busy during the Holidays and made handmade presents for some of my friends and family, but for some reason I felt like I had been away from my sewing machine for a very long time... and today we finally reunited again. I started a new quilt. I've been dreaming about a star quilt ever since I started quilting and I thought it should be my first project of the year. I'm using the star block tutorial from Cluck Cluck Sew, amazing tutorial and the blocks come together super easy. I completed a few blocks and I can't wait to get back to my sewing room to keep working on this.

How was your weekend, did you make any big resolutions for the New Year?

Martha.
