I saw the gallery of quilts and shared the link with the members of my guild, Ebony Quilters of Southeast Queens. We are based in New York City. Everyone was simply thrilled. The quilts are so inspirational. Wish I had seen them and knew of this guild when I visited Nairobi 10 years ago. I want to go back. Thank you so much for sharing your art.

Kenya Quilt Guild
Thank you, Arlene, for telling your guild about us. We have checked you out online, and will post a link to your group from our blog. Curious, isn’t it, that our two groups formed at just about the same time?!
We hope that if any of your members will be traveling to Kenya, they will find time to look us up. We’re always around!
Happy Quilting!
