The Fall Fair on Sept 12 from Noon to 3 p.m. at the Gabriola Commons is rapidly approaching. We have three or four stunning quilts nearing completion that will be on display in our first fundraiser for the Dogwood Initiative "No Tankers" campaign.
The quilts will be covered with black fabric "oil blotches", which people can remove for a small donation. Eventually, the quilts will be revealed in all their glory. This is an excellent visual message and we hope to repeat it later at other locations.
The quilts are beautiful, and are becoming more enticing with every stitch!

BC Artists protest Oil Spills

The people who made these squares were from Gabriola and Salt Spring Islands, some were quilters, some didn't know how to sew. There is also a painted piece (the boat) and the pieces were made by both male and female...
