Open Art Show

 

The Arts Council of Roane County (Tennessee) is having their Annual Open Art Show from November 15-18 at the Kingston Community Center, 201 Patton Ferry Rd., Kingston TN 37763. We are lucky to have this venue again this year. This year will be our fifth Open Show in Roane County. We have some wonderful talent in this area, but the show is open to all artists in all media. You can get an entry form on the ACRC website.

We are also hosting a Chili Supper on opening night, November 15, from 5 till 7 at the Community Center. Chili or Soup with sides and dessert is only $10. If you would like to take home a handmade bowl by Jenni Kelly, just add $10 to that and you can eat from your new bowl or just keep it clean to take home.

If you’re in the area please join us for the supper and see all the wonderful things.

Trail Tote

I finished a small version of the Trail Tote today to match the Necessary Wallet that I finished yesterday. I even added a little rivet on the belt loop for the strap which is a refashioned belt from Goodwill. The Trail Tote is a free pattern by Noodlehead. I love Noodlehead patterns.

I covered the ends of the braided cotton belt with matching fabric. Isn’t fusible bond wonderful? I love ironing it on and folding it up and pressing and it STAYS! Then I can just stitch away and it’s almost perfect! Love it!

I added a repurposed buckle that I’d been saving and just used the belt like a belt. It can be adjusted for a shoulder bag or a cross-body bag. If you see the belt loop in the picture, I’m going to change it. It’s too big and isn’t connected, so I’m going to rivet it to the strap tab.

See how big it is? Not really bad, but not really good either.
