Bountiful Vineyard
35” X 35”
2001
A patchwork grapevine wreath is the central focus of this vibrant wall quilt. Joanie’s original drawing of a garland of grapes, leaves and vines wrapped around a rail fills the outer border. A complimentary color scheme of gold and purple create a vivid energy for this heirloom machine quilted piece. Joanie uses her home sewing machine for the free-motion quilting. The area around each image is flattened with heavy stippling, enabling the grape motif, enhanced by trapunto, to stand out.
