Last Tuesday, the Mayne Island Quilt Guild hosted Hands Across the Water, an annual get-together that attracts visitors from several Gulf Islands and Vancouver Island.
A kind Saturna captain gave us a ride to Village Bay, on nearby Mayne Island (a very nice half-hour on the water) where we were met by Judy, our hostess. Judy drove us to the event, and provided many insights on Mayne Island along the way.
The event was held in a seaside pavilion at Dinner Bay Park, near the grounds of the Japanese Garden. Many quilts were on display in the Japanese Garden, right on the fence. A beautiful outdoor setting! Great lunch al fresco, fantastic Show and Share, something I haven't enjoyed in years because I don't attend guild meetings anymore...
This is my slide show of that sunny day. Hope you enjoy it!
Barbra and I really basked in this opportunity to meet people from Galiano, the Penders, Mayne (of course!) and Duncan, on Vancouver Island.
Visiting quilters will want to know that the Mayne Island Quilt Guild meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 9 am, at the Agricultural Hall, near Miners' Bay.
My special thanks to our Mayne Island hostesses: we won't forget your hospitality.

Hello Andree,
I am going to be on Saturna Island on Wednesday for the Fair and I wonder if I might visit you at your studio before the Fair? I would like to see your beautiful fibre art and ask you about the Garry oak habitat on your property. Could you spare 15-20 minutes for me, please?
