Members of the Kenya Quilt Guild were invited by Garnet Smalley and Suzanne Agnew, the owners of Cotton-by-Post, then in Ailsa Craig (now in London), Ontario, Canada, to exhibit their quilts and participate in a week-long quilt festival there. Called “The Quilts of East Africa,” the show was comprised of about 180 pieces, only some of which are shown in these galleries. Click on a photo below to see each gallery.

So much to see!
We will be going back to London, Canada, in August of 2013 for the London International Quilt Festival.
Look for us there!
