Sadly I have mislaid the close ups of the stuffed grapes and leaves. They were rather scrumptious. But you get the general idea. Back then, watercolour quilts were all the rage. This was one of my early experiments in different techniques and it sold immediately to, if I remember correctly, a winery in Virginia? But my memory is trying to stuff too much into itself so I could easily be wrong.
