I am doing this. I'm getting patterns and kits from friends. So far I have seven states. Some of these are just adorable. The states I have patterns from are NM, TX, MI,OH, PA, NY, and IL....I would love to get more states if I can. I'm stuck home in a wheelchair, so I'm not going to be traveling, but do have friends who do. PM me if you are interested in helping me. And I'll help you. Katie
