My Side of the Story - Part I - Quilt Competition Artists

Fiber Artist, Erin Wood

Category: Place Thomasville Skyline

Erin Wood is a mom and preschool teacher with an interest in artistic pursuits. She learned to sew at the age of 12 with her stepmother, who, like the other women in her family, is a quilter. They have spent many happy times sharing their love of sewing and knitting, laying the foundation for Erin’s lifelong love of creating. In Spring 2025, Erin received an Honorable Mention award in ‘Stop & Smell the Roses!’ - a public art exhibition and competition in the Creative District. Her red bouquet showcased our City of Roses. Erin’s quilt focuses on the iconic downtown Thomasville, Georgia, skyline — particularly the water tower — which is familiar to people from all over the region. “Many of the collaged elements will be recognizable in the final product, says Wood. “Thomasville has given me an appreciation for its history and how it is celebrated in this Southern town. I look forward to sharing my vision with the community”.
