See Irene Foss' "The Gate" Quilt

Spring Paducah 2019

Based on a photograph of the Lake District in England, The Gate by Irene Foss was so realistic it had us wondering what we would see if we could just get passed it and into the wonderful wilderness beyond. Irene used many different techniques to achieve the effect including Fused Appliqué, Collage, Confetti, Free-Motion Quilting, Fabric Painting, and Thread Painting.

The Gate was on exhibit at AQS QuiltWeek Paducah Spring 2019.

36" x 31"

Quilting Method: Stationary Machine. Quilting Techniques: Fused Appliqué, Collage, Confetti, Free-Motion Quilting, Fabric Painting, Thread Painting.

I do love the story the quilt tells and the quilting brings it to life.

Admire the work greatly, but even better, this makes me want to see what lies beyond the gate. The scene actually pulls you in! Far better than the average pretty picture. Evokes a lot of emotion and this is what I think adds to the STAR quality of this quilt.

The quilt is fantastic such attention to detail. Love the lakes we used to live 40mins away and I miss it so much although we were in the Borrowdale fells a few weeks ago magnificent.
