Meet Miriam: Our Founder's Story
My journey with Quilt Africa Fabrics began not just from a love of textiles, but from a profound appreciation for the rich cultural narratives woven into every thread of African fabric.
As the visionary behind Quilt Africa Fabrics, I saw a unique opportunity to bridge the vibrant artistry of Africa with the global quilting community.

What Is Your Quilting Footprint? A Roadmap for 2026
What Is Your Quilting Footprint?:
A Roadmap for 2026
People often talk about their carbon footprint, but as we step into this new year, I have a different question for you: Have you given any thought to your quilting footprint?
Think about the mark you are leaving through your craft. Think of the hours spent learning, the meticulous designing, the cutting, the piecing, and the layouts. Think of the investment you have made in the fabrics you love and the tools you’ve embraced.
My commitment to this community is rooted in one specific goal: I don’t want your quilting journey to be defined by stacks of unused fabrics. I want your investment in this craft to culminate in a definitive Body of Work.
From "Puttering" to Purpose
In 2026, we are shifting our focus. We are moving away from simply "puttering" in our sewing rooms and toward creating quilts that truly express our creative voices. This isn’t about being "busy." It is about being impactful. The 2026 Roadmap: Your 5-Piece Portfolio To help you build this body of work, we have designed a strategic path for the year. You have the opportunity to create at least five major textile art pieces:
Four Quarterly Workshops: Independent projects designed to challenge your skills.
The "Echoes of Heritage" BOM: A significant work that anchors your collection.
Imagine ending 2026 with a minimum of five quilts made with vibrant African fabrics—each one a unique interpretation of a brief, each one full of visual impact, and each one a testament to your skill and excellence.
An Anchor in Uncertain Times
2025 ended in global chaos, but we are choosing to build. This year, my mission is twofold: helping you create your 5-piece Body of Work, and founding the Nigerian Quilters Guild.
On January 24th, we hold our first meeting to kick off the Guild. This will be the vehicle for our upcoming exhibitions and the home for AfroModernism in Africa. Whether you are a playful hobbyist or an intense artist, you are no longer just quilting in isolation—you are part of a founding movement.
The Journey Begins Now
Putting your focus on your projects—on creating something tangible and beautiful—will ground you. It keeps your life moving forward toward a tangible impact. It allows you to do something you love while building a legacy that lasts.
Whether you consider yourself a high-intensity artist or a playful hobbyist, this roadmap is for you. This is your year to speak through art in your authentic voice.
What is the one story or goal you want your "Quilting Footprint" to tell by the end of this year?
If you’re looking for a guided way to turn that intention into a body of work, Echoes of Heritage: Where African Stories Meet Modern Quilting was created with exactly that purpose in mind.
Join a 12month appliqué adventure , secure your spot in the 2026 Block of the Month:
The 2026 BOM, "Echoes of Heritage," blends clean figural silhouettes with backgrounds of strong, modern curves using machine appliqué. A key feature is the exclusive Cultural Storytelling sessions, where we explore the deep history and meaning behind the fabrics and figures you stitch.
