On our road trip with the girlies
we ventured off into downtown Memphis to see this
At the corner of Front and Adams in downtown Memphis
is this beautiful outdoor quilt exhibit.
"Quiltsurround"
by Sculptor and University of Memphis professor, Greely Myatt.
The large scale quilts hide the unsightly heating and air conditioning units
on the side of City Hall.
Using about 700 various aluminum street signs,
Myatt created 32 panels replicating traditional quilts.
These 4 x 12 foot panels were just amazing.
And who would have thought; recycled street signs as quilt pieces?
I LOVE it! Thank you Greely Myatt and the city of Memphis!!
Now off to Huey's for a G-R-E-A-T burger!
Next stop ~ THE BEACH (insert happy dance)
Enjoy your day,
Sharon
