Notes
We’ve come across many things made from road signs, including this fence, but nothing as intricate as artist Greely Myatt’s “Quiltsurround,” a 32-panel public art installation in downtown Memphis.
Using about 700 speed-limit, caution, and stop signs (and even a few Memphis City Beautiful signs), Myatt designed traditional quilt patterns in 4-by-12 foot panels. The panels … hide a chain-link fence and City Hall’s heating and cooling system.
“We didn’t have a very good budget for this, and the idea of recycling is part of quilting, so I had the idea of taking the street signs that the city was going to recycle,” Myatt said. “I knew that material would withstand the outdoors.”
Art students from the University of Memphis, where Myatt teaches sculpture, helped fabricate the panels.

BEST EMAIL EXCHANGE EVERcrazy lady: Hi Gabi, I just saw your new line of plus size swim-suits on Yahoo,and I must tell you as a plus sized woman, I am APPALLED!!! Calling your galaxy suit print the "Fatkini", is not only disgusting,but in SUCH poor taste, as well as the fact that no respectable plus sized woman, including Myself would EVER be seen in such a monstrosity!!! Not that we should not be proud of our bodies and comfortable with ourselves, and even celebrate our curves, but COME ON! A "Fatkini"!!! WOW this is a NEW level of WRONG! I would happily wear the beautiful galaxy print that I so much adore,however the fact that you have presented the material cut in such a manner that shows things so blatantly it sickens Me!!! Your model sporting the suit looks as if to say "Hey check Me out in My "Fatkini" that's BARELY there!" And the fact that she looks so happy wearing it, I'm shocked! We plus sized voluptuous women should be proud of ourselves, however your design and the very name for it is BEYOND DEPLORABLE!!! You should truly be ashamed of yourself, as well should your model. GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD HONEY!... ...
