The Newnan-Coweta Arts Association annual Christmas Market is November 1-3, 2024, at the County Fairgrounds. Common Threads will have a booth. This is the guild’s big fundraiser. To be successful we need your help! Members are asked to donate handmade items to sell. The pricing and tagging group will begin working in late September so the sooner you can turn in items the better. Check out the guild Facebook to see things members are making. Etsy and Pinterest are good sources for ideas of things to make. Typically, items in the $10-$20 price range are popular. Please include a suggested price with items you contribute.
Also, help promote the Market by sharing the information with your friends and family. This is the 54th Christmas Arts & Crafts Market sponsored by the Newnan-Coweta Arts Association; 60 artisans and fine crafters and will feature original art, fine crafts, unique handmade gifts, art education, as well as demos. Santa will even make a visit!
Our next 1st ThursdaySewcial is **Oct 3rd 2024**. Bring any project you would like to work on, hand or machine. Or join those who will be making items for the craft fair. Gail has fun Christmas ideas for us to make
10 AM - 1:00pm We often go to lunch afterwards but you are welcome to bring your lunch or a snack. Sewcials will be held the FIRST Thursday each month from 10 am - 1 pm in the Sunday school Room at Mills Chapel. It is a great opportunity to get to know members of the guild; it is also an opportunity to get advice or help with a project. Cutting mats and irons are available for your use. **********************************************
