Make dinner time or any meal time exceptionally colorful with the Dinner with Ubushobozi Place Mats Kit! Featuring 4 place mats that are made with vibrant African wax fabrics, you can not only liven up the dinner table but also give back to a community in Rwanda, Africa. Ubushobozi is a women's cooperative that teaches young girls the skills they need to be successful and provide income for their families. Ubushobozi means power and ability. Purchasing this place mat kit helps benefit the Ubushobozi Collective.

This kit contains a pattern and Authentic African Prints by the Ubushobozi Women's Collective. The wax prints are a form of non-verbal communication among African women. Each print has meaning and they are used in many of their cultural celebrations and have become collectible.

The hand dyed cotton fabrics included in this kit are stiff due to the manufacturing process of the cloth. After you have made your project, machine wash it in cold water on gentle cycle and dry on a delicate setting or air dry. The fabrics will soften and the waxy sheen will dissipate. To learn more about the Ubushobozi Women's Collective visit ubushobozi.org.

Finished size: 18 1/2" x 14 1/2"
Makes a set of four.

Colourful, quick, fun project

These placemats came together easily and quickly. I intended to make them as a gift, but I like them so much I am considering keeping them for myself! It would be nice if the Ubushobizi prints were available in a charm pack.

Table Runner & Placemats

This is our first “quilting” project ever … my husband and I bought a very nice sewing machine to start a new hobby - quilting. We have learned a lot … thank you!

Fantastic

The Ubushobozi Placemat Kit went together very easily. The only material not included in the kit were the thread and batting. I had both available from other projects. The vibrant colors and distinct wax prints are fabulous. The 5" pieces were cut precisely for piecing into strips. And, I am proud to have contributed to sustaining the people who made the fabrics in Africa. Thanks Missouri Star Quilt Co. for making these available. I wish I could buy yardage for these fabrics from you. My 95 year old mother-in-law saw them this morning on a Portal call and ordered a set for her table!!!

Ubushobozi Placemats Kit

I liked everything about this kit. The vivid colors, the feel of the fabric and the dramatic finished product. I would love to see more kits and fabrics by these African Women. Thanks for carrying their products. Susan
