For every reason stated. Everyone has their special art project. Many ask why because they don't know how and would like to. I was at fabric store the other day and gal wanted to do a craft but wasn't sure what to get into. Told her to start off with a kit and one of the first things would be to start with a beginner's quilt kit (tools). Has the cutting mat, rotary with an extra blade and few other things including pins and a 6x12" ruler. Was also a pillow kit with pattern/instructions. The beginners quilt kit would be useful in many crafts. Just start with kits. There's a niche for everyone.
