Hello all - I am originally from UK but have lived in Kenya for many years. I have been quilting for about 12 years - we have a very
active Guild in Nairobi but its hard to get supplies - fabrics etc. Its great to keep in touch with the rest of the quilting world this way - though I am not very good on computers!

Hi and welcome from the Los Angeles area. You will find quilters in here from all over the world. Lot of good ideas, advise, and some beautiful quilts.

Hello and welcome. I was in Kenya about 5 years ago for a missions trip. I was there for about 3 weeks and did not want to come home. I mostly stayed in Matoso, but also visited Kisumu and Nairobi. I also got to go on safari in the Masai Mara.

Hello from the UK!

Thank you all for a great welcome. What a small world the quilting community is. We often have visiting quilters from all parts of the world here for a safari who stop off and meet some of our quilters. So let me know if any of you are planning a safari in East Africa.

Hi

I do have the most wonderful memories of Kenya. I was about eight then. I would like to go back and visit the coast.

I used to speak fluent swahile, but now I cannot even count to three!!!!!

Welcome from Texas!! I have a couple of coworkers here from Kenya.

Welcome to this board. You will love it. There is a nice fabric store in the Sarit centre in Nairobi. I, too, searched all over Nairobi for a good shop when I was there visiting my daughter. I will pm you the name when I can put my hand on it. The lady who runs the shop is very nice and would willingly bring in fabrics for you I think. I yearn to return!

Well hello there in Narobi! I'm also new to the group from Chicago, Illinois. I have been quilting on and off now for 11 years. I also have an embroidery machine and just love it.

Welcome - great to have this website so global.
