What Our Tribe Members Have To Say...
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
I live and run Quilt Africa from Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria in West Africa.
How long does shipping take?
Shipping out of Africa is still a bit of a challenge but I've put in systems to get your fabrics to you in 14 days.
How do I buy continuous yards/metres?
I stock 1-3 yard cuts in the store occasionally. I also show fabrics live in our Facebook Group every now and then.
You can request to join our Facebook Tribe Here:
You can also send me a message with your requests and I will work with you to ensure you get what you want.
Is shipping expensive?
Shipping is strictly by weight out of Nigeria and that's where most of the cost accrues.
That means you might find shipping a little higher than you are used to but I'm always working on ways to keep them reasonable keeping in mind that many many miles/kilometers separate us.
What is a Mystery Bundle?
The Mystery Bundle is our signature way of providing you with a great variety of fabrics.
It is a collection of fabrics specially selected by me in different cuts and complimentary colours.
They are available in red, green, blue, African yellow-gold, pink and purple and occasionally infrequently available colours like orange and teal.
Can I buy in wholesale quantities?
Yes, you certainly can!Simply send me a message on miriam@quiltafricafabrics.com and I will send you our current wholesale prices and shipping options.
I still have questions!
If you still have questions, feel free to send me an email at miriamgbenson@quiltafricafabrics.com
