Sandy Bielenberg...and the bat

Hi, I just had to show you these photos taken yesterday, as you know we are having a textile workshop with Sandy Bielenberg in July..bookings essential.. and I hung her rain forest quilt in the shop on Saturday morning.When I came in on Monday morning I started the vacuum cleaner up, as usual and thought to myself, I must suck up that big moth next to Sandys quilt, when I put the hose up in the air, I realised that it wasn't a moth, it was a Micro Bat, obviously looking to sttle down in Sandys rain forest quilt!! A very brave customer got the bat down for me and she put it in a box, the wildlife carer...no shirt...very cheeky...came and relocated it for us!!!

Aviary by three sisters moda

 

This came to Tinkers Cart today, it is Aviary by Three Sisters for Moda. Check out the range on the left hand side, we have Jelly roll, charm packs and turnovers, which are squares cut into triangles and when sewn together give you a finshed sqaure of 5 inches..its a whole new way of buying fabric and quilt making.

Sandy Bielenberg Textile Artist

 Hi, these two pieces are photos of Sandy Bielenbergs work. Sandy is a textile artist from Gladsone, whose works have been widely exhibited throughout Australia and the United States of America. You can see more of Sandys work in the album in the right hand column. Tinkers Cart is proud to announce we will be hosting two, one day workshops at Tinkers Cart, with a maximum of 12 per day. The cost is $75 per day, with a nonrefundable deposit of $50 to be paid on registration. The workshops will be held on the 18th and 19th of July. Please contact Tinkers Cart on 0747552336 or at tinkerscart@yourhub.com.au to secure your spot. The workshop will teach you Sandys innovative techniques and the main requirement you will need for the day is a sewing machine that can do free  motion quilting and has the capacity to drop its feed dogs. Any working machine will be fine, you don't need the latest machine, although Janome sewing machines are fabulous!!  Tinkers Cart will hold a further workshop to create a project using these techniques.  Sandy is much in demand and we are very honoured to have secured her services for these workshops. Tinkers Cart looks forward to seeing you there!!
