Grapevine

12.5 inches wide x 18.5 inches long
32 cm x 47 cm
This little quilt features a digitally embroidered grapevine design which I’ve extended by adding hand painted bunches of grapes and extra leaves. I worked the embroidery over a digitally quilted design and combined it with free motion machine quilting. The fruits and leaves I’ve added have been painted with acrylic fabric paints and finally I embellished the work with lots of hand stitched French knots. The cotton fabric base is a digital print of some flaking plaster Laura photographed on holiday in Portugal. I liked the idea of the vine scrambling over the ancient wall of the house!
