Grateful to be a Quilter/Sewer There is a lot of stitchin ’ goin ’ on in the West Room! Every stitch we make is a stitch closer to a finished project. What do we do with it once it ’ s finished? We can keep it for ourselves, gift it to friend or family member, or donate it. Here at ORPS we donate items to the Shelter From the Storm and the Cathedral City Fire Department and we raise money for these charities through sales of our items too. We are very grateful to have the room and the opportunity to quilt and sew every day. For some of us, quilting/sewing is an escape from reality. We enter the sewing room and we are in a world where nothing is impossible. With a sewing machine in front of us, fabric in hand, and imagination to run with, the sky is the limit! Quilting and sewing give us the freedom to express ourselves through our craft. It serves as an outlet. And we can bless the lives of others through our creations. We quilt and sew for a variety of reasons. It is important to each and every one of us in many ways. Sewing can be a way to relax. It is an art form we use to show our creativity. Creating brings joy. We also feel joy through the bond we share with each other within our sewing group. The quilting/sewing community is such an accepting place full of kind, imaginative women we can trust with our life stories. These stories are often swapped during our sewing time together. We are grateful to be able to touch the lives of people around us through our quilting and sewing! The West Room is where you will find us, Monday - Sunday, 8AM - 5PM.
