Canyonlands I: Kokopelli Dances
© 1994 by Fran Wilson.
Begun in 4-day workshop with Caryl Bryer Fallert at the Museum of the American Quilters Society in Paducah, KY. In the collection of Dr. Margaret E. Wilson,University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha. Kokopelli can be found playing his flute and dancing in the blue section on the right. He was rather a last-minute addition--I accidentally snipped a hole in the top, and he is covering it.

Proudly showing off ribbons at the Jacksonville, FL Quiltfest. Won second-place,
small wall-hanging and judge's recognition for creative use of fabric. Made
with techniques learned in a class with Katie Pasquini-Masopust. Was really
surprised that this quilt won, because the machine quilting is done leaving
"danglies" on the front of the quilt, and the judge has a reputation for being
conservative and traditional! (By the way...that's Fran standing next to the quilt
and grinning.)
Lake Powell Memories I: Card Trick
©1995 by Fran Wilson
Started in a 5-day workshop with Katie Pasquini-Masopust at Quilt/Surface Design
Symposium 1995, using her Fractured Landscapes technique. This quilt will appear in her
book on Fractured Landscapes that is due out later this year. Technique works great, but
is VERY tedius. From a photo taken by me during a week-long houseboat vacation taken with
friends several years ago.
Lake Powell Memories II: Rainbow Bridge

Made for friends who also attended the houseboat weekend. Used techniques from Margaret Miller's book, "Strips That Sizzle". Colors reminded me of the week on the lake, plus we played a lot of cards, hence the design. In the collection of David Anderson and Coleen Kubit, Las Vegas, NV
