Common Threads Quilters' Guild (CTQG) began in the spring of 1984 as a small group of quilters meeting in each other's homes. Their purpose was to share quilting in a social atmosphere. As interest grew and membership outgrew private homes, the meetings were moved to the Vestal Public Library. The purpose remains the same - the promotion of the art of quilt making through education, sharing skills and exchanging ideas and companionship of other quilters, as well as community service. The group was incorporated on December 11, 1996 and is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and furthering the art and craft of quilting.
