quilts and pillows for Sarah's Inn
Our guild made items for a local charity, Sarah's Inn in Oak Park. Here is a description of their work from their website. "Sarah’s Inn provides comprehensive services for families affected by domestic violence so that they get the support they need to find safety, rebuild their lives, and heal. Our legal support services help ensure that survivors of domestic violence receive equal rights and protection under the law. Sarah’s Inn is a community leader in educating children and adolescents about how to cultivate healthy relationships to prevent future violence from occurring. Working in partnership with local stakeholders, we run education and training programs to promote an appropriate community response to violence."
They do great work right here in our community. We were so happy to be able to gift them some items to make their counseling rooms more comfy. We all worked from the same color palette, and made small quilts and pillows in either solids or prints. These are the items I contributed. As a guild we gave much more. I'm always grateful for opportunities to use my sewing for good.
