Common Threads Quilter's Guild

Meeting Information and Location

If you are looking for a dynamic, fun quilt guild, Common Threads Quilters Guild is it! We have engaging speakers, Saturday Sewcials for learning new techniques and make many quilts for community charities.

Monthly Meetings are held on the 4th Monday of every month
(check the calendar for November and December meeting dates).
Meetings are from 7-9pm at:
Mills Chapel Baptist Church
85 Country Club Road
Newnan Ga 30263

Visitors are Always Welcome! For more info see our Contact Information page above under the Home Tab. Hope to see you soon!

Get Ready ---It is almost Auction Time!

Nov. 13th is our annual fundraiser auction and the drawing for our Opportunity Quilt! In case you are new to our guild, members donate craft items (fabric from your stash, sewing tools, yarn, etc.) and the items are lined up along the tables. Each item has a number taped to it which corresponds to a bag hanging under it. You purchase tickets for 25¢ and drop a ticket (or more!) into any item’s bag that you want to win. After everyone has “shopped,” a ticket is drawn from each bag and the winner is announced! We’ll be selling tickets in advance in October so that you’ll have plenty of time to put your name on each one!

You can bring your items to the guild meetings in September and October and Jan Pilnacek will collect them to store at her home. So start going through your closets!

Kaleidoscope: 2017 Opportunity Quilt

This year's Opportunity is a Vibrant, Colorful work of art! Thanks to all of you for your contributions of the quilt blocks! It is sure to be a big hit. Remember it takes every guild member to help make this quilt raffle a huge success, so sell those tickets! Volunteer to help at our booth sites.

The proceeds from this gorgeous quilt help us provide supplies for charity quilts, speakers, and other guild activities.
Drawing will be in November 2017 at our annual auction event.

November Craft Fair

At the last Guild meeting it was decided that next year instead of an Opportunity Quilt Raffle, we would participate in the Newnan Craft Fair held in November. It is the hope of the Guild that everyone contributes homemade items to sell at the booth. Items should be brought to each guild meeting so others can view the variety and we can get an idea of the types of items everyone is making. The proceeds from this event will be used to fund speakers, materials, and Guild activities throughout the year. We hope you will all help to make this a successful event. This
