We’re excited to have you stop by to learn about our guild. Our purpose is to share the love of and exchange knowledge of quilting. Whether you are new to quilting, or have been quilting for years… and you love Modern or Traditional or Art Quilting… we’d love to have you come and join us!
Common Threads Quilting Guild of Parma, Ohio meets every month on the third Monday at 6:30 p.m.
Featured Speaker — KC of Little Red Quilt House of Medina, Ohio, will present “Edges” — quilt bindings and other types of finishes. Check out their website: https://www.littleredquilthouse.com.
Guests, as always, are welcome to our meetings.
Show & Tell — Bring your finished (or mostly so) projects to share with the guild. Guests are also welcome to bring in items to show.
Block of the Month — Every month, members are given a new pattern along with the guild newsletter. You can choose between a “beginner” or “advanced” block… or do both. Bring your finished blocks (both July and August) to the August meeting.

About Us…
Common Threads was started over 35 years ago by 15 founding members. We currently average about 50 members and are actively seeking new members to join us for fellowship, friendship, and to learn and hone quilting skills.
Our purpose is to “promote fellowship while increasing and encouraging the interest and knowledge of our members in all aspects of the art of quilting.” You’re encouraged to participate in our “Block of the Month” and the yearly “Guild Quilt Challenge” in a fun and engaging environment.
Highlights of membership include a Triennial Quilt Show, an opportunity to learn from seasoned guild members and speakers, and you’ve definitely found a place where you can feel free to ask questions, get answers, and improve your quilting skills.
As a Common Threads guild member, we Learn • we Teach • we Give Back.
Thanks for stopping by! We look forward to seeing you at a meeting soon.
