ABOUT US

My name is Miriam Galadima Benson and I am the founder of Quilt Africa Fabrics.

Quilt Africa started from a place of curiosity and a deep desire to find a creative outlet that satisfied my love of fabrics.

As an architect, traditional quilting and piecing satisfied my need for both creativity, symmetry, order and the feeling of satisfaction from starting and finishing a project.

In 2017, I was running my dressmaking business when I decided to make a quilt after spending hours poring over Pinterest.

After many months of laboring, trial & error and many stops and starts, I completed my first ever quilt a nine patch using African wax prints and a few pieces of Adire.

I shared my finished quilt in the Quilting Facebook Group and I received many requests for the fabrics, almost everyone who commented wanted them, and that was how Quilt Africa Fabrics was born!

Since starting in 2017, Quilt Africa Fabrics has grown to become an international hub for quilters who are curious and willing to push their creative boundaries.

The Quilt Africa Fabrics Manifesto

I BELONG to the Quilt Africa Tribe.

I love to create with African Fabrics.

I have chosen to prioritise myself.

I will reserve some of my energies, make the time and create space in my life for my CREATIVE PURSUITS because they centre me and give me joy!

Our manifesto

is a vibrant declaration of creativity and self-expression.

It encourages quilters to embrace the rich heritage and diverse beauty of African fabrics, using them to tell stories, explore new techniques, and create quilts that are both visually stunning and personally meaningful.

It's a call to prioritize creativity, find joy in the process, and connect with a global community of quilters who share a passion for African textiles.
