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” 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! Comments are now closed … winners were picked and notified! Watch for our next giveaway very soon!!


Wish you well on you next stage. I love batiks!! I also make wheelchair quilts for a local nursing home so I know all fabric will be well used. Looking forward to seeing the next chapter of BAQS.

I can’t wait to see what direction you are going in. I love the batik bundle and would feel so lucky to win it. Keep us posted.

Those batiks look so fun! I have never made a quilt using them but those would look so neat made up together. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for all of us in your new adventure! I’m sure it will be a blast!

So happy I had the opportunity to visit Spool and meet you a few months ago. All the best to you in your future work expanding the Bass Ass Quilters Society! I’ll be watching!

Batiks – they make my heart pitter-patter currently as they are what my grandson and I are making his first quilt with (he is 13 and loving it). Maddie helped him pick out his contrasting fabrics very graciously. We sure had a great time shopping together and he is also saddened that Spool is closing – but he is definitely a Bad Ass Quilter and has his pin to prove it. (And he’ll have his skull backing on his batik quilt to prove it up also).

I love your amazing SPOOL style batik and bright fabric. My favorite find was 0the black lacey skull brocade print last year. It was exactly what i needed. I recently found you all, sad to see your fun selections go. Good luck on the new adventure.

They are both great! Can’t choose. Would do a quilt for “us” for a change.
I hope ou are going to do an alternative style quilt show….. it would be an instant hit.
Good luck!

Gosh did you say something about fabric? All of it makes my heart sing. Those SPOOL style batiks are simply yummy.
I hope along this new Bad Ass adventure, you are able to bring some attention to the diversity of quilters who are creating beauty. This topic was discussed here recently.
I am excited to see the new journey of BAQS. Keep educating this creative community with your passion. The best to you Maddie.

Sorry to see you go but you will be great wherever you land. Hope you can work to ensure quilt artists can express themselves without fear of ridiculous censure. Oh and I’m liking that dark batik selection. Yummy!

Love them all, impossible to pick one. they each could find their way into something of their own choosing. As others before me, I had always hoped to get to Spool. Looking forward to what the future will bring to BadAss Quilters Society.

I think if you put on some retreats they would be great fun. You and Flaun both have such great contagious personalities I can see them being a success. I would like the bundle of fabric on the left. I already own a couple of them.

The batiks would love to come home with me. I’ve only been aware of Spool and BAQS since row by row last year. I hate to see Spool close but can’t wait to learn what’s in store with BAQS

I love them both, but am more a batik girl. I hope whatever you do you love it,and we keep seeing the edgy side of quilted.
