I’ve just learned that three of my entries for the Columbia FiberArts Guild exhibit Fabrications have been accepted. The jurors had 70 submissions to consider and 37 were selected. This is the first exhibit I’ve entered since my move to Portland last summer. The call for this exhibit stated simply:
We are looking for creative, bold work displaying a solid command of design principles and appropriate technique.
The accepted pieces are Broken Ginkgos II (click on image for larger view)

I love these pieces. Congrats. Are you back to working on new stuff?
Franki Kohler says
I have a start, Kay. I am working on a small piece based on a photograph of tulips that I took. I blogged about that earlier.

gurligregersen says
Congratulations. Seems you are ready for taking up exhibiting (and quilting?) again.
Franki Kohler says
Hi Gurli! I have begun some new work but the pieces that were accepted for this exhibit were made before I moved. Fortunately for me, there were no time or size restrictions on this call.
Nancy Karigaca says
The ginkgos are lovely! They remind me of the piece we bought from you a few years ago. Glad you’re still doing them and getting even more creative on that theme. Congratulations!
Franki Kohler says
Thanks Nancy! The ginkgo is quite a recurring theme for me. I’m glad you have one of that series.
