Peaceful skies of blue and pink wisping over the lapping waters; a vision to relax the body and clear the mind. Landscape quilts are one of a kind works of art depicting nature scenes of all kinds. Often time, landscape quilts utilize artful techniques to create the colors and textures of nature. Mickey Lawler has been involved in quiltmaking since 1968 and is known for her paintings of impressionistic skies, water, and other landscape elements on fabric – perfect for making a one of a kind landscape quilt.
Mickey uses transparent paints and creative techniques to make textures. Her style of painting is easy to pick up and feels like playing. With emphasis on collaboration with the medium rather than mastering over it, you learn to listen to the paints as they work and will welcome the unexpected results. Take a look…
Here is another technique Mickey uses to take one fabric and create two:
These techniques are the tip of the iceberg. Join Mickey in her serene world of nature painting and let the wind whisper to your imagination. With one of a kind fabrics, made by your hand, your landscape quilts will not only be unique but uniquely yours.

Loved seeing Mickey Lawler. Remember her from Vermont years ago.
Very good course, I enjoyed it and can’t wait to get started. I need to purchase the paints yet.
Actually a question. I really want to learn this technique, and am thrilled to find just what I want to learn, however never taking a online class before. Is this downloaded to my email address after payment and I then can review it several times or is it a one shot only to absorb the information? I am assuming once emailed to me I can review as needed. Before I sign up can you address this question? Also does this instructor have a manual or book that I may purchase as well?
