Trip to Young

 Four of us keen quilters set off across country on Saturday to visit Young. There we found the Town Hall and the Quilt Show Here Today sign. The Lions Club of Young were holding their 2021 Quilt Show. We were welcomed warmly, bought our raffle tickets, found old friends already there, made new friends and generally had a great day examining and appreciating all the lovely quilts on show. We were particularly keen to see Michelle Marvig's trunk show and had front row seats! We were able to look at them closely after the showing and appreciate Michelle's exquisite work and her colour combinations.

After a very enjoyable interlude at the more-than-a-baker next door eating lunch, we trotted across the road to the Millards centre and the Robynette Fabric Salon where we enjoyed discovering all the lovely fabrics that they carry. The rack carrying a rainbow of gorgeous colours and patterns made us sigh with pleasure, we wanted to carry them all away and make even more quilts.

Our day was done and we had a swift, uneventful trip home with one coffee stop, to help the driver get over that late afternoon somnolent phase. It is wonderful to be able to go to Shows again, we have missed them this past year.
