4. Quilters and Crafters Tag Sale

The Brighton Casual Quilters tag sale for quilters and crafters takes place on today at at 6 p.m. Proceeds from the sale of "previously owned " quilters and other craft supplies supports Quilts of Valor. We have made over 300 quilts that have been shared with Americans in our armed forces that have been touched by war.  These quilts are beautiful handmade works of art.  The cost of fabric and shipping the completed quilts overseas is rising. This event is our sole fundraiser to support this meaningful effort.
