I've used quite a few kits this year as I haven't unpacked my sewing room. Waiting on a move. I buy fabric one project at a time or I buy a kit. I also buy kits for toys or dolls and then make my own thing out of whatever is in the kit. Fun.
Current WIPS:
I think I have all of the patriotic quilt kits from Connecting Threads.
I've got independently produced kits off of ebay.
I'm also working on samplers with fabrics chosen by me and chosen by others.
Thumbs up for kits.
