Sydney's Quilt Show

Mum and I travelled to Sydney for our "annual pilgrimage" to the Craft & Quilt Fair.

This year, due to the normal venue being completely demolished and  in the process of being rebuilt, it was held at "Glebe Island".

So, the best 2 ways to get there (both ways were free) was by ferry...

 

or bus...

 

then you walked a short distance to the building...

We travelled by ferry on the 2 days we went.

Mum and I at the Show's Christmas Demonstration Section

We shopped the first day and went to classes the second day (and shopped a bit more).

We had purchased 3 day tickets before going, but decided that we had seen and bought everything in 2 days, so I gave 2 strangers (one was pushing a stroller with a small infant) boarding the "quilt show ferry" the next day our pre-paid tickets.

As they were rushing to get on the ferry (they were the last 2 to get on), they didn't have time to thank me as I quickly gave them the tickets for free... they probably thought I was joking!

I thought to myself... that is what "pay it forward" means... I felt good about it.

Until next post..
