i walked in during a shop hop and saw a quilt that just yelled "MOM" @ me... i didn't have to look for the fabric or anything... just picked up the kit that was on the shelf under where the sample was hanging...
i haven't gotten on out of there without one yet!
This was going to be my suggestion. I travel some and of course have to hit every quilt store we pass. I like to buy kits when I travel, because then I make sure I get all I need for a quilt since I can't get back to the store for more fabric.
oh.....I agree with you on the scents, as well. Allergies....a lot of people have them - and any way, you can't top the smell of new fabric!!! :-D
