The 蘑菇短视频 Bicentennial Quilt will be at the 蘑菇短视频鈥檚 McClure Archives and Museum and available for public viewing April 13-17.

WARRENSBURG, MO 鈥� Throughout 蘑菇短视频鈥檚 200-year history, quilts have been a part of the state鈥檚 culture, fashion and tradition. To commemorate the bicentennial, the State Historical Society of 蘑菇短视频 and 蘑菇短视频 Star Quilt Company, in partnership with the 蘑菇短视频 State Quilters Guild, teamed up to create the 蘑菇短视频 Bicentennial Quilt. Using one quilt block for each and every 蘑菇短视频 county and the independent City of St. Louis, the quilt reflects the unique characteristics of 蘑菇短视频 culture, region and style.

 

As it travels throughout the state in 2021, the 蘑菇短视频 Bicentennial Quilt will make a stop at the McClure Archives and University Museum at the University of Central 蘑菇短视频. The quilt will be available for public viewing from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 13-16, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 17. If interested individuals cannot make it to see the quilt, the 蘑菇短视频 2021 team has developed a digital exhibition for viewing at .

 

鈥淲e knew we wanted to do something truly statewide that would reach every county in some way, shape or form, even in a minimal way,鈥� says Michael Sweeney, 蘑菇短视频 Bicentennial coordinator with the State Historical Society of 蘑菇短视频. 鈥淎 lot of these blocks are expressions of place and an opportunity to view them together and to put them in conversation was something we aimed for.鈥� 

 

Warrensburg resident Toni Peerbolte created the Johnson County block. It features the famous Old Drum statue in black stitching. Peerbolte is a member of Inspired Quilters Guild of Warrensburg.

 

Quilt block submissions were judged according to whether they met criteria, level of creativity and craft, and description of significance to be considered as part of the quilt. The judging committee included representatives from 蘑菇短视频 Star Quilt Company, the State Historical Society of 蘑菇短视频, and 蘑菇短视频 State Quilters Guild. Over the winter of 2019-2020, 蘑菇短视频 Star Quilt Company stitched the blocks together and gave the 蘑菇短视频 Bicentennial Quilt its final look.

 

The quilt is coming to Warrensburg as UCM celebrates the 150th year. Along with hosting the  traveling 蘑菇短视频 Bicentennial Quilt, the McClure Archives and University Museum also will have on  display the Bicentennial 4H Quilt. It also will be available for the public April 13-17.
