QUILT AFRICA FABRICS
Before you cut
African cloth,
you learn to read it.
There is a way of quilting with African fabric that begins not with the scissors, but with curiosity. Come and know the cloth — and watch what it opens.
read the cloth, then make it your own

You begin with whole cloth and carry it all the way to a finished quilt — nothing rushed, nothing skipped. The one thing you bring is a desire to read the fabric first.

Look what we have made.
A global tribe — the US,, Australia, Canada and across the continent — gathering every month and every July for the summit. These quilts were made by women who began exactly where you are.

THE FOUNDER
An architect who fell in love with cloth.
I grew up in the open-air markets of Lagos, learning African wax print at my mother's side. Years later, in a city with no quilting shop and no cutting mat to be found, I made my first quilt from the fabric I loved — and discovered a whole world of quilters longing to know this cloth the way I did.
Quilt Africa grew from that. Not just a place to find beautiful fabric, but a way of working with it — reading the cloth before you cut, and making something lasting.
With love from the continent,
Miriam Galadima-Benson
