To get a kit quickly, request it from the main organization:

I know the website says check to see if you have a local group,.... the local groups don't get the fabrics that the main group in PA gets. They get donations from different fabric companies.
My local group- we're making the quilts from our personal stashes, a few estates have donated stashes and the decorator companies donate their samples-which we have to sort through. We don't have kits made up the way the main QFK office does. But I think we are eventually going to do it.
So that may be part of the problem with you getting a kit from your local group. But she should tell you that up front. Plus the local chapters are all volunteers who just send in an email and say "I'll start a group-here's my name, address and phone number" They're added to the list and tada you have a local chapter.... so maybe it's not a well established group yet.
But anyway, good luck.
