The Blue Ridge Artists and Crafters Association

 

The Blue Ridge Artists and Crafters Association, Inc. (BRACA)
is a non profit organization formed in 1985 and
based in Waynesville, North Carolina.

Our mission is to promote the exceptional talents of local artists and crafters
in the Haywood County area.

These fine art works and quality hand-crafted items are exhibited
at three large craft fairs in July and October at
the Haywood County Fairgrounds / Agriculture Center
in Lake Junaluska, N.C.

We welcome friends, patrons, and fellow crafters to come visit us at our shows.
Spaces are available to non-members at the indoor shows.

Membership is limited to Haywood County residents and
membership is open from November through the third Monday in April.

DIAMOND LOG CABIN
TABLECLOTHS & RUNNERS
These handcrafted table linens are based on
the attractive log cabin quilt pattern.
They are octagon shaped, measuring 78x68
inches point to point, and will fit round, square,
oval or oblong tables. All are lined with 90 inch
wide fabric to reduce bulk and ensure
a smooth appearance on your table.
These tablecloths have the distinction of winning "FIRST PLACE'' and "JUDGES' CHOICE''
ribbons at the
NORTH CAROLINA STATE FAIR.
I hope they will add to the beauty of your home.
Care: machine wash in cold water;
dry in dryer for 10-15 min,
then hang to finish drying.
