Quilt Africa Fabrics
Quilt Africa is an online store that supplies bold, vibrant and unique African fabrics already precut and ready for quilting straight to your doorstep.
Our fabrics come straight out of Africa. Our selection will always be different from what you'll see from other retailers because our fabrics are what the locals use, bought from our local neighborhood markets which are just about 15 minutes drive away!
Like our culture our fabrics are bold and vibrant and will infuse your quilts with the irrepressible exuberance and bold colors of the warm and sunny continent!
You are in the right place if you are always on the lookout for one-of-a-kind fabric to help you tell your creative story.
All our fabrics are excellent quality; no colour runs or shrinkage and are great for quilting and all your sewing needs.
Our African Story!
African prints are beautiful!
Bold and interesting patterns, beautiful and vibrant colours! They come in 100% cotton and weighty enough to make very good quality quilts. Though not popular in my country, in quilting, I've found an outlet for my creativity and the perfect medium that reflected me, my culture and everything familiar to me.
I decided to make African prints and fabrics available in precuts to sister quilters around the world; to those who have a connection to Africa or who are just intrigued by her vibrancy and are eager to use her fabrics in their quilts.
All through my childhood, my mother took me along on her African prints buying trips at the busy fabric markets in Lagos and taught me to help her cut up the fabrics for resale to her customers. Her fabrics business supplemented my father's income and helped take care of our home.
It seems I have come full circle.
I am happy to use everything I learnt from my mum to provide the best quality African fabrics for your quilting journeys
WHOOT WHOOT!!!
Thank you so much Miriam, my package arrived and they are...BEAUTIFUL.. You Rock Sis
About Us
Miriam Galadima-Benson
Store Owner
My name is Miriam Galadima-Benson, I'm a trained architect but now staying at home with my kids, two beautiful daughters and a handsome baby son.
I started quilting by learning on Youtube and various blog tutorials because I come from a country where quilting is not known.
I made my first quilt with African prints, a pair of scissors and my sewing machine. I fell in love! I had found my creative outlet, using a medium that was familiar to me and reflected my culture.
I want to share with you my life and my adventures as an African quilter, quilting in Africa.
