Well, this month I started making one of my kanzashi flower hair pins. So far I have the petals done:

Each large petal is striped (black, dark red, yellow-orange) or burgundy. Then I made smaller petals in mint and light blue at their base.
I will be going for feathers and leather next but I have not found a very inspiring center piece to add.

What other fabric crafts are underway this month?

18" dolls. my daughter has 1 and is getting another for her birthday. they are madame alexander dolls.
i have so much fabric i'm trying to get rid of it and a lot of it is just perfect for doll clothes.
i also have a ton of quilt tops that need finished but i need a quilting frame.

Hehe, I had to look up the doll to get a visual. I have a son so, the only dolls I'm familiar with were the ones I had as a kid (Barbie, Holly Hobbie and Cabage Patch.)

As far as a quilting frame goes, have you tried Craigslist or Freecycle to see if you can get one for free? (not sure if there is a freecycle where you are located or not.)

I've never quilted before. I've seen some people make just absolutely beautiful quilts though... and I have TONS of fabric. Is it easy to pick up or should one take a class before even trying?
