The Craft of Heritage
My Story: A Unique Legacy in Every Stitch
At Sankofa Sewing, I believe in looking back to move forward. Every stitch I sew reminds me how much I love doing this.
The Hands Behind Sankofa
“When life gives you scraps, make a quilt.”- unknown
My name is Kimberly C. Harper, and I am a self-taught fiber artist who started quilting at the height of COVID. Quilting satisfied my need for self-expression, mindfulness, and control while adjusting to life under COVID-19 restrictions. As my interest in quilting grew, so did my desire to share quilting with my community. others. Since 2020, I have taught sewing classes, given lectures, and traveled to participate in sew-alongs with other fiber artists.
