“I recently visited Common Thread in Xenia for a tufting session, and I can't stop talking about it. The atmosphere was great, and the process of making my own rug was incredibly fun. I highly recommend this activity to everyone–– grab a friend and go!”

“You might think tufting is just for ‘crafty people.’ That is not the case. Anyone can do it. It's been really fun to see so many different people come in and strike up conversations that they maybe normally wouldn't be having anywhere else.”

“I’ve made about 3 or 4 rugs now. I'm excited about my next piece. I'm going to add some glass fused artwork to it. I've also invited about 8 different people to come tuft. As a member, my guests get 20% off and I get a free small frame for every 5 people I bring in! It's a pretty good deal.”

“I never would have thought tufting would bring me so much joy — truly! I walked out of the studio smiling.”

“After a short period of instruction, I was pleasantly surprised at how hands-on it was. We got to do all the tufting. I get to walk away knowing that I really made this piece."

“I brought my nieces, 7 and 9 years old, and they loved it! So fun to see their personalities come out in how they create."

“I honestly had lower expectations for our ability to carry out a picture. But was surprised that we could actually create the images we wanted to."

We had a fantastic afternoon tufting! Three generations learned a new craft and had a great time. There are endless design options and colors to choose from. With some quick instruction and practice we were off and running. We can't wait to go back do it again - the studio environment is super friendly and supportive. There's nothing better than crafting your own design with power tools!

We had an absolutely fantastic time with Common Thread in Xenia! We went as a family, my wife, our daughter, and our baby, and it was just the perfect family-friendly experience. The whole atmosphere was super relaxed and welcoming, and the instructions were easy for everyone. Honestly, if you’re looking for a fun activity the whole family can enjoy together, this is it!

What a fantastic spot! My mom and I had so much fun learning a new craft. So many options for designs and colors, good vibes, and friendly people. Super excited to hear boba is going in next door. I'll need to come back for a craft + tea session!!
