CUTIES Trunk Show & Private Shopping Sale
Thursday, October 10, 2024
6:00 - 8:00 pm
You’re Invited! Join us at our Alexandria, VA store to enjoy a CUTIE Trunk Show & Private Shopping Sale, including light refreshments and a 20% discount off your Artistic Artifacts store purchases! CUTIES are the brainchild of Cathy Anderson, owner and operator of Quilt Basket, assisted by her daughter Sarah Fabian. Cathy and Sarah wanted to make quilting easier and more accessible for the beginner quilter, while giving the advanced quilter a fun, new way to create a quilt. They developed the CUTIE Collections (a CUTIE is a fat eighth of fabric; a CUTIE Pack is a collection of 16 coordinating CUTIES — each pack contains 2 yards of fabric) and CUTIE Patterns designed specifically for the packs. This is the perfect opportunity to pick up the Bethany Spin pattern and your choice of fabric to attend Cathy’s Precision Piecing class at our shop on Friday, October 11! In addition to the opportunity to purchase exclusive CUTIE collections and patterns directly from Cathy, you’ll also see an array of finished quilts, each featuring custom longarm quilting by Allan Anderson. (Quilt photographs here courtesy of The Quilt Basket website as an examples; quilts included in the trunk show may vary. Visit our shop on Saturday, October 12 to see demonstrations by Allan using his Precision Ruler Guide PRO on our BERNINA Q24 Studio Frame.) Cathy will be curating her Cutie Collections for us; all come in a variety of fabric lines, allowing you to bring your own style — traditional, contemporary, or reproduction — to the finished product. Attend for inspiration to plan your next CUTIES project — or start your first!
About The Quilt Basket: Allan and Cathy Anderson established The Quilt Basket in 1989 as a full service quilt shop, adding an online site in 1996, then transitioning to an online-only shop in 2020. The Quilt Basket is devoted to serving their customers with the latest, finest quality quilting fabric, notions, books and supplies. “Among the many achievements that make us unique we are most proud of our own patterns. Our creations have already been featured in multiple national quilt magazines and we continue to create dynamic designs that will fit any home décor,” shares the Andersons.
