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!

​***Community  Service***
Please come join us in our Community Sewing as we piece & quilt for our community.

1st ​​Thursday Sewing Group - 10am - 1pm

Our next 1st Thursday Sewcial is
​**Sept 5th at the church**.  Bring any project you would like to work on, hand or machine. Or join those who will be making items for the craft fair. Gina has  fun Christmas ideas for us to make.
​Our Guild members have the opportunity to meet the 1st Thursday for a "Thursday Sewcial" at Mills Chapel Baptist Church.  It is a great time to share ideas and socialize while working on projects for ourselves or our community. If you don't want to bring your machines, bring your hand sewing or hand sew some binding on some of our charity quilts.

Do you have an idea for a fun Field Trip?  Let our board members know.
Previous field trips our members have been on have been a lot of fun.  
7 Guild members went with MJ Kinman to the SEQTM to see the Quilt Nihon Exhibit after the Guild Meeting.  We had a wonderful time eating lunch together and then enjoying the exhibit.
