Creating a community of quilters to share ideas, develop skills and encourage the tradition of quilt making.

Welcome to the Common Threads Quilt Guild's website.  We are a group of people who have one thing in common--our love of quilts and the people who create them.  We would love for you to join us.  We meet on the first Thursday of each month at the Church of Christ in Hanford, California (1596 W. Grangville Blvd.)  Social hour begins at 6 pm and the general meeting begins at 7:00 pm.  Please check out the About Us page for information about our guild.

Presidents Message

 

      What a fun meeting.  Sure was nice to see all the quilts that would be at the July 4th mini auction.  Which did very well I might add.  Thank you all for your hard work.  Rosalie & Margaret did a great job of getting equipment & people there.   It was a beautiful day to be at the park.  I do have a chair that was left there so if it is yours give me a call.

     Your new board has been elected. Give them the support you have given me this past year.  It is only a successful guild if everyone pitches in & does their part.  There are still committees to be filled.  Which one would you like to fill?  Call Anna, ask what is available & offer to add your input.  We always need new ideas.  A committee can be formed for any of the positions.  You do not have to do everything on your own.  Ask your friends or ask at a meeting & make a new friend.

     There will be a joint board meeting of the old & new boards on Tue July 20th, 6:30 at my home.  Please come with your completed reports ready to pass on to the next chairman.

We will need an audit committee to audit the treasurer books.  If you would like to help on this committee give me a call.  Carole has done a great job as treasurer so it should be an easy committee.
