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.
Why do I think Thom Atkins has more invested in beads than most of us do in fabric? What beautiful work. Do hope all of you enjoyed his workshops. There are lots of events coming up that will offer you an opportunity to participate in keeping this guild strong. Speakers & classes are a great way to meet your fellow members. The Great Little Quilt Sale on July 4th needs lots of quilts and quilt items to be a successful project. July also brings the Kings County Fair. We will have a display area for our opportunity quilt & while selling tickets you can also have your sewing machine there and be piecing or quilting. Be willing to submit your quilts to the fair as a way to showcase your great work. Chances are you will come home with a ribbon or two to hang on your design wall. I have not been asking you at the beginning of the meeting to turn off cell phones as I really think by now people should know how disruptive it is to a meeting. We pay a lot of money for these speakers & it is disrespectful to the speaker and your fellow guild members when your phone rings. Please put them on vibrate and if you must answer take it out of the meeting room. Happy Quilting Grace Hoya
