Saturday we say goodbye to SPOOL – the physical store (do look for another week online very soon, at KICK ASS PRICES!) and we thought it would be fun to giveaway some fabric as a way of saying thank you for all of your support over the last three years.
We are so very excited about the expanded direction we will be taking BAQS and we will have more on that later. For now, just know that there is some really cool stuff coming including weekly giveaways, livecasts, video interviews with the people you want to know and more. Until then… let’s have some fun and give away two boxes stuffed with fabric!
One box is filled with amazing “SPOOL- Style” Â batiks… bright, colorful, embodying everything SPOOL was about.
The other is filled with a variety of quilting cottons that I am sure will make you smile for days after opening it.
Each box is 15 yards of fabric plus some fun BAQS swag!
Leave a comment  letting us know which box makes your heart beat faster and tell us what YOU would like to see BAQS doing… I want to come visit you and party!
We will draw for the winner on SUNDAY the 16th! Â Â Comments are now closed … winners were picked and notified! Â Watch for our next giveaway very soon!!
Oooh, the one on the right please. I would love to see you teaching others how to open/run a successful business. Best wishes!

I love the batiks. I’ve enjoyed reading your blog and Facebook entries. I’m looking forward to reading about your next adventures.

The badass batiks are awesome!!! My hubby and I fight over our batik stash!
I would love to see some really innovative ways to draw ALL quilters together to celebrate the badass awesomeness of quilting! I’d love to see you take a concept that’s really traditional and turn it on its ear.

The batiks would be my choice. Your vision for quilters and all things creative is excellent so keep that up; and the blog too. I like the idea of a BadAss Quilt Show, that would be amazing. Tutorials would be on my list also.

I’m immediately drawn to the quilting cottons, but I’ve never worked with batiks; they’re both beautiful! Tutorials would be great.

Both collections are beautiful, but the batiks call my name. Having been with BAQS since the beginning, I am looking forward to your next adventure. I really appreciate you advocating on behalf of ALL quilters. The first BAQS get-together/program in Houston meant so much to me personally. I hope you’ll be able to do more of that sort of thing. Whatever direction you take, we all know it’s going to be awesome!

My heart beats faster for those bright batiks. Winter’s coming and I’m craving bright colors as my garden has faded. Nothing wrong with the other fabric though. My heart’s flutters a little for them. I gave so enjoyed your live casts talking about what us going on and what you are working on.

The brighter ones! BAQS is helping me quilt outside the box and be willing to try new things. Keep waving the banner for welcoming quilters of all skills and styles!

I like them both but I think the cottons might be fun for a Ronald McDonald House project my friends and I are working on!!

My stash is severely lacking in batiks so that’s the one for me! I thoroughly enjoyed the penis controversy and look forward to hearing more about Sew Diversity.

I would be tickled with either one!! Loved your fabric selections! I would also love some great retreats!

I love both boxes, but would choose the batiks. I have just started collecting them and they are so beautiful.
I would love to see more tutorials. Watching how other people make things is how I learn new skills and pick up on tips & tricks.

I would love either box they are both full of absolutely beautiful fabrics, but I really love the light and bright quilting cottons. I’m sad to see your store go since I just found your shop a month or so ago. But would love to keep up with BAQS and see tutorials online or maybe even some events.

Which one made my heart leap? You did Maddie. I’ve bought fantastic fantasy fabric from Spool. Because of the passion that emitted from you! I choose batik. Because, damnit I’m going to go to Figi someday! And not just in my dreams!

I have to admit I love them both…but the one on left makes my heart beat the fasted. So far I have seen you guys sneak into each other’s quilt rooms, quilting competitions, I just love seeing your creative minds come up with unique creations. I would love to see you guys create BadAss tutorials for unique modern quilts.

I would love the variety of quilting cottons. Cruises are always a good idea.

I love BAQS! Both boxes are awesome, either one is great for me, if I have to pick then the Batiks. My .25″ sticker is wonderful on my car, so fun when somebody sees it and gives me a thumbs up.

My heart did a double flip at those prizes! I’d prefer the variety pack On the left, but would certainly be thrilled with the other one too. I’d love to see BAQS start a podcast so I could listen while I sew. Tips, techniques and video links are always appreciated too!

The one on the left .. I have a project already in mind!!
So sad to see Spool go…would love to win!
I’d like to see less mainstream content. Your challenges are so creative and different, for example, and would add value if that concept were added to the natural creativity you bring to your projects.
BTW., you will be missed.
