We want to take a moment to honor the memory of Vera Young after news of her passing at age 100 earlier this month. Mrs. Young was a masterful quilter and a beloved member of the Grayson County community, particularly through her involvement with the Goodwill Grange #959. She showcased her exquisite handmade quilts as the 2023 Grayson County Ag & Art Artisan Honoree. You can view her 2023 Artisan video below--Mrs. Young was famous on YouTube among the quilters of the world!

We wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends in their loss, and celebrate Mrs. Young's lifetime of contributions to the preservation of Appalachian artisanship.
