Welcome to the Quilt Africa Fabrics
2025 International Summit
July 10-12, 2025
The Quilt Africa International Summit is more than just an event; it's a 3-day immersion into a vibrant world designed to ignite your creativity and connect you with a global community of passionate textile artists.
It's a unique opportunity to:
Discover: Uncover new ways to incorporate the beauty and boldness of African textiles into your projects.
Connect: Forge lasting relationships with fellow quilters and textile artists, building a supportive network that will nourish your artistic journey.
Create: Leave with a renewed sense of inspiration and the practical skills to bring your unique vision to life.
Hi, I'm Miriam!
The scarcity of resources on quilting with African Fabrics was the deciding factor for me when I first hosted the Quilt Africa International Summit in 2020.
I believe African fabrics have a place in the world of textile arts and it is important to share the stories, patterns and colours of African Fabrics as a reflection of the African way of life and culture with the whole world.
We want to stir up and channel your creativity to new mediums, methods and levels of skill. Plus, we have prepared fun hands-on activities where you can learn so much!
I can’t wait to see you there!
