    Default New MSQC shop

    I just visited Hamilton today, and saw the new shop. Got an idea as I drove away, I saw some concrete block patches on the side of the building, must have been some windows in there at one time, now closed with concrete blocks. Maybe you already thought of this, but I thought how cool it would be to have quilt block designs painted on those patches.

    I lived in Cuba, Mo for a number of years, and they started to beautify the rather ugly sides of their old buildings with murals. The murals are historical or depict motifs based on the local economy. It has made the town so beautiful. I've posted a link to the Cuba Murals so you can see what they did. They started this in 2000. They used local, national and international artists to paint the murals.

    The Gold Star Boys mural is my favorite. The Frisco Railroad line used to go through town, taking passengers to their destination. Cuba was a destination for decades, being close to Meramec River resorts. My parents used to go there in their young days. The boys in this picture are Cuba men who left to fight in WWII.

    I'm married to a man from Cuba, MO. The town is truly unique and their murals are fantastic, especially the ones depicting the Civil War. I would love to see MSQC have a mural or quilt blocks on their building.

    Ok, so I am thinking why don't we just meet in Cuba or some place close to there one day soon for lunch, ladies. The window quilts is a great idea.

    My little town has some murals as well, reflecting days past.

    I think it would be awesome to have some quilty personality on the MSQC building. I know if I lived there, I would volunteer to paint it up.

    They were measuring for a very cool quilty shop sign while I was there. They have so much to think of and do to get the new place open, painting the side of the building will definitely be a future project. They have some very cool and exciting ideas for the future, it is going to be a very neat place for quilters to gather.
