Mother and daughter team up for their first- ever narrative quilt! Bobbi is an emerging artist specializing in cyanotype - incorporating local botanicals and flowers, as well as her own photography. Mary is a seamstress with over 40 years of experience in garment sewing and quilting, as well as managing her own alteration business for many years. Paradise Park has been a cornerstone in the history of Thomasville for more than 140 years. During the city’s resort era, travelers came from across the country to experience its beauty and the health-promoting benefits of its forest. It served as a meeting place for civic groups, politicians, and schoolchildren, as well as a source of entertainment, featuring fairs, picnics, watermelon cutting contests, and cake walks. On the weekends, the longleaf pines rang with music from local bands and musicians. Bobbi and Mary are excited to take you for a walk through the park’s history with their narrative quilt.
