Comment on Seven Reasons Why I Love Quilt Kits by Linda Garcia

I have only used a couple kits. I have a difficult time following a pattern to a T, so the two times I used a kit, there was not enough fabric to change the pattern the way I envisioned. After it happened the second time, I made a note to myself that I was not a good follower, so kits were not the best option for me.
To each his own in this quilting adventure. If using a kit works for your style of quilting, more power to you! I am a wanderer and get drawn off the path by the myriad possibilities floating around in my head.

After disappointment about many of the quilts I made, I decided not to make any more quilts I didn’t like, and I managed that by buying quilt kits. I bought numerous kits from Craftsy, when they sold them as well as online classes, and I was really sorry to see that source disappear. Since then, I have bought quilt kits from a variety of places – quilt shop catalogs, quilt shops selling their own kits, websites of designers I follow online, kits I find on Instagram.
I want to like the quilts I make more than I want to design my own and be disappointed with the results.
Most of us aren’t trying to make careers as quilt designers, and I’m happy to leave that part of making quilts to those who did a lot better job of it than I do. If it’s cheating, I’m just glad there is a way to cheat, so I end up with quilts I love for the time and money I invest.

I love quilts for the above noted reasons plus I never have left over fabric to store and try to use up another time. Much more economical.

This cheating comment just is beyond me! Why are people worried about that? Can’t we just put the fun back in quilting lol? Without worrying about getting an A on the test? These are the kind of Quilters that I tend to stay away from. I had a woman in a guild tell me she never used kits. As a new quilter at that time, her comment made me feel very inferior and inexperienced. Luckily I’ve gotten beyond that. There is definitely a time and place for kits!

Omg. I’m glad you made it through your heart attack and sorry you had to go through that!

There was a pin I came across awhile ago that said “new year, same me, still loving my body” and it definitely got me because there’s always this feeling that we need to be better, but who we are *now* can be pretty great too. And we should treat ourselves well, because we deserve it. And if we don’t, who will?!

As a retired RN and a woman with 2 cardiac stents, I applaud your efforts to educate we women who function exactly as you described— yes, me too!! “Now is not a good time to have a heart attack”, “My husband hates my ED visits when my symptoms turn out negative for a heart attack after spending hours in the ED waiting for blood test results “

I’ll add—-After 3 yrs of increasing symptoms but negative Thallium stress tests, a cardiac catheterization showed 95% occlusion of a coronary artery. I changed cardiologists for someone who believed me over test results!
