One of my local shops is participating, the other is not. The one that is not participating told me that the quantity of folks coming through for the kit has steadily decreased. The time and effort to make kits wasn't worth it anymore. I suspect that most quilters are looking for pieced kits, not applique type patterns. I know I am not particularly excited about applique or that fusible laser cut stuff. I want a quilt to wrap myself up in, not hang on the wall. Of course, I have more kits and patterns than I can ever put together in the time I have right now. I do like to buy something from the shops I go into. So Row by Row got new money from this customer.
