My Side of the Story highlights the rich Southern tradition of narrative quilting while supporting artists from across the South by providing a platform to showcase their talents. Narrative quilting uses fabric and stitching to convey messages or tell stories. Historically, it began as a way to record history and communicate important information within communities.
In this exhibition, 31 artists created 30 custom 4×4 narrative quilts depicting People, Places, and Things connected to Thomasville. Each quilt offers a unique perspective, reflecting personal interpretations of the community’s heritage and culture, while artists compete for awards celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and storytelling.
