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!!

I love the batiks on the right. I would like to see Badass Quilters continue to be a champion of all quilters, no labels. I like the online videos. I have never been to a retreat, but if you hosted one, I think I would feel welcome and want to participate.
I would love to see you sometime! On a cruise would be fun!!!! Love the bright batiks!!!!!
Heading over to see you tomorrow! I agree with Ellen Ault–spread the love of quilting and that anything goes. Do what you love and be damned about fitting into an artificial category!!
I would love to see a BAQ site for members to post quilts they made that they love. Even a BAQ member Instagram feed could start it. There is so much that can be done online now that could lead to BAQ workshops. I would also rather belong to a BAQ guild than the MQG. Wouldn’t that be cool!!
On the give-away note, I love the quilting cottons!!

I usually go for batiks but for some reason the prints really speak to me this time. 🙂 I’d love to see BAQS organize quilt retreats in the future. So much fun!!

Definitely the batik fabric! I love batiks.
Are you going to sell the row by row kits or at least the pattern online? Please?

Wow – hard choice but those prints make me smile – love the bicycles : ) I am a relatively new follower and I wish you luck on your next adventure!
I’m a freak for batik! Especially if bright and fun. I am hoping you will keep doing the great challenges you promoted in the past!

I love the quilting cotton set (non-batiks). I LOVE the idea of the retreat and can’t wait to hear more details about that.

Those quilting cottons really make my heart sing! I will miss Spool and I’m sorry I couldn’t get there for your sale. Would like to see on line classes and retreats. Wishing you love and peace. Isn’t that all we really need? Well, maybe some fabric too.

Batiks are Bad Ass material. Would love this.

Spool was such an inviting shop . I was lucky enough to visit there several times while my daughter lived in Chattanooga. Who wouldn’t love a box of batiks! Such rich colors! Although, the other box of fabric is right up my alley. Would be thrilled to win either. I love being a BadAss Quilter! Good luck, Maddie, on your BadAss journey!

Batiks always get my heart beating a little faster! I would love to see BAQS continue to spread the joy of quilting at ALL levels and leave the black robes and gavels for real judges. Possibly have a “newbie” challenge? Your crew is awesome and happy to have made it to Spool a couple years ago. I live in northern IN otherwise, I’d have made it in weekly!
Keep on kicking ass!

I love the moderns! I love that I was ever introduced to BAQS! I would love for you to feature some BA Quilters. Talk about how they started, what they love, show who they are and what they make. I know we aren’t all grannies at the kitchen table, and my granny at the kitchen table sure was one BAQ!

Although the batiks usually float my boat.. The lighter colors feel cheerful and carefree and thats for me!

I am so sad I never got to Spool, I had plans to travel that way next spring. That said I wish you much success with your new endeavors. And I did get some swag via mail. My teardrop sports a sticker.
I make quilts for charity and gifts so either beautiful box would be fabulous. Having to choose, I say the cottons.
