Shared by Leann Mundt. A great idea for this year's Auction. As you are going through things and find you would like to donate an item, put it in a box in your closet/basement/garage. If the item is too big to fit in the box, put a sheet of paper on the outside of the box and list the item and it's where abouts in your house.
Donated - White brand Serger - in full working order comes with everything including manuals.
Check out our Community Service Page under Guild News to see what we are sewing for our community. Please continue to bring any finished service projects to our next guild meeting. Thank you.
Community Service and Fifth Thursday Sewing for 2024
We plan to have a sew-in on each 5th Thursday this year. 10am - 1pm Our next 5th sew day is:
Oct 24 - Lap Quilts and/or placemats for MOW (date updated)
Aug 29 - We had a great time sewing Library Bags for Operation Christmas Child an organization that Mills Chapel supports. We made 117 bags so far. Please continue to sew as you can. We will let you know when we have to have them all turned into to the church. Pictures on the Community Service page.
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 **Sept 5th, 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. **********************************************
