The quilting and sewing group is back in full force with over 55 members. Quilting and sewing is a way to express ourselves through our craft. People are excited to see and receive the things we create, even if they don ’ t always understand how much time, materials and love were poured into the making. One important thing is that our quilts will outlive us by generations. Each year we create beautiful quilts to be raffled off. The ORPS Quilting and Sewing Group has adopted the Coachella Valley ’ s only domestic violence shelter as a focused charity. This season the Quilters and Sewers will be hosting a Quilt Show and Tea on Wednesday, February 19th, 2025, in the ES Ballroom at which time these quilts will be raffled off. Your support by purchasing raffle tickets helps us purchase the materials needed to make these quilts. Due to the generosity of the ORPS community we have been able to send the Shelter From the Storm as much as $10,000 a season. Way to go ORPS!! Please come by the West Room to purchase tickets or watch for a pop - up sales table at ORPS events. Ticket prices are $5 each or five (5) tickets for $20.
The Club is open to everyone. Please drop in and see us or email us for more information at orpsquilters@gmail.com. You can join our Facebook page by searching for: ORPS Quilters & Sewing Club. Submitted by Tannis Haddrell

Our featured sewer this month is our past president and current ‘ Fun Committee ’ chair, Holly Aschenbrenner. Holly and her husband Cliff are from Cristina Lake, B.C. In 2014 Holly and Cliff attended a Wind - up party held in the ES Ballroom by the Pickleball group at which time was taking place at Second Street Park. They had never seen anything like ORPS and immediately bought a lot after falling in love with the resort. Holly was an active pickle baller here in ORPS until breaking her hand and tearing her meniscus. Holly ’ s mom was an avid quilter but Holly didn ’ t start quilting until 2012. Since then she has created some amazing work, winning the best in show at last seasons quilt show. Holly and Cliff have 7 grandchildren and 3 grand - dogs! Thanks for all you do for the club Holly.
