Fusing the woven strips to batting…







Each student began with the same African Fabric,

then chose a complimentary fabric to weave through it…







Jan chose this cranberry red fabric for weaving…








Kathy chose an orange batik fabric for weaving…








Each student chose an African symbol 

to appliqué on their woven quilt







African Symbol























Barbara chose a blue fabric to weave into her quilt…








The students stamped the meaning of their 

symbol onto their quilt…







Rubber ABC stamps and Textile Paint…

  1. This is WONDERFUL, what an amazing thing to do for those women. If I might ask, is there a quilt pattern or instructions for the African weave blocks that are in this story? The quilts are beautiful and I would love to purchase a pattern or instructions if available.

  2. Sorry, we do not have a pattern for the woven African quiltlets. We pre-fuse 2 piece of fabric, cut them into strips then weave then together, then fuse them with an iron onto the batting.

    My Best To You,
    LuAnn
