I hear people saying that 50 is the new thirty but honestly I am really excited about 50 being just what it is, a time where I am more ME every damn day. This is ME.
Perhaps the world should be scared but I am increasingly more ok with both the amazing parts of me and my foibles as well. Not that there are not things that I am working on.. hell I am always working on how I approach life and people and the care we give this world but what I have dumped is a great deal of my “give a fuck” about HOW people think I lead my life. Very freeing indeed!
So to celebrate this milestone of life it felt only right to give some gifts, both from myself and from friends to make this a real kick-ass party!
Today is day 1 of the 10 day countdown to my birthday on January 23rd. All during the 10 days I will be doing fun giveaways each day over on the BAQS Facebook page leading up to the big mamma giveaway here on the blog- on this post for ………<drum roll please>…..
TWO – Innov-is NQ900PRW By brother
This machine is going to rock your socks ( and anything else that needs a little thrill!). I spent time seriously talking with the amazing people Chattanooga’s Sewing Machine Shop to find just the right machine that would not be too much for a new quilter but would also be a great machine for a more experienced quilter either at home or on the go to retreats and classes. The extended table (not seen here) and knee lift being just 2 of the reasons that I think this machine is going to make TWO people very happy!! This machine is no light-weight and with a retail price of over $2,000 each you can bet I am going to be insuring the hell out of them as I send them to our winners! Want to know more about the machine… click here
So if you read in-between the lines there, while many times I partner with wonderful companies to bring you prizes this time it is my hard earned cash that paid for these machines to give away to you for my birthday celebration. There are lots of reasons for this but by far I want to you to know how vested I am in making BAQS the world leader in progressive sewing and quilting movements. Being a vocal advocate for a part of the quilt world that often gets the short shrift is important to me. Quilting and sewing are for everyone and I am here to prove that every day!
So to each of us who has been told that you are “too much”, “too loud”, “too big”, “too Small”,”too gay”, “too straight”, whatever…. not enough in some way – know that is total and abject bullshit and you have a place here at BadAss Quilters Society…hell, even if you don’t quilt.
If you support my mission and want to help make a difference please make sure to share this post and our daily live count down videos on Facebook to spread the word!
So join me for 10 days of fun! Make sure to leave a comment here for your chance to win a machine but don’t miss our daily Facebook live chats where I will be giving away daily prizes provided by some of my friends such as….
Just to name a few!!…….
Good luck and remember we will draw for a winner on my Birthday – January 23rd.

I wouldn’t mind a present from the Birthday Fairy!!!!
Happy birthday–you look 30!!
Congratulations and Best Wishes on your 50th Birthday! Such a monumental milestone for women—-we know who we are, we accept that we’re not perfect, and (most importantly!) we understand that we don’t need the approval of others. Great strength in all that. Celebrate and enjoy.
It’s me again, wishing you Happy Birthday. Just started to add your site to my daily internet quilt show and I love the “ATTITUDE” ! I have been enjoying your product overviews and you challenge me to venture out and try new product. Thanks.
Happy birthday! What an awesome thing you are doing! 50 is amazing… you’ll love it!❤️
Happy day 2 of your birthday celebrations!
Welcome to the dark side – I am 54 years young. A friend’s hubby refers to me as the oldest teenager he knows, I take that as a compliment (assume that it is meant as one, too).
Thanks for the chance at winning this wonderful machine! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU BADASS QUILTER AND WOMAN!
Happy Birthday!!! 🎉🎁🎂🎈🎊
Happy birthday, Maddie!
I’d love another machine!!
Awesome giveaway!!! Happy birthday Maddie!!!
Maddie thank you so much for giving us all, esp. me, the freedom to be the quilters that we yearn to be. I wish you the happiest of birthdays 🎂 and many more in the future!
Happy birthday, Maddie 😊.
We love all that you do for us quilters 💕. Your creativity is contagious……
Happy Day 2!
Love the house pattern. Happy birthday 🎉.
Hey Maddie, what a great way to lead up to celebrating your birthday on Jan. 23rd! You are truly Baaaaaddd to the Bone! I don’t win much of anything (not even the lottery scratch off tickets! LOL) but what I do win is the joy of teaching my grandchildren to quilt and see their eyes light up as they complete a project. I taught my 12 YO granddaughter to quilt and she made her mom a quilt and did some free motion quilting on it. I let my 7 YO grandson do all the meandering on his own double fleece blanket. The next quilter will be my 5 YO granddaughter. I just retired Jan 1, 2018 and am using all my time now to create a few more little bad ass quilters! They need a machine so I can use mine! Thank you for the giveaway opportunity. 🙂
Happy Birthday 🎈🎂
Happy Birthday Maddie! And thank you!
Happy early birthday. January seems to be a good month for birthdays. My daughter-in-law has a birthday on the 23rd and a son on the 24th. Good month.
Fifty is nifty!
Happy early Birthday! Thanks for a chance at such a generous giveaway. Ive got everything crossed. 😊
Happy Birthday Maddie. Getting older has some wonderful benefits. You care less about pleasing others and more about doing things you’ve always wanted to do but others thought you were crazy for even thinking about. Enjoy!
Happy birthday Maddie! So many things on fb or email I scroll right on by. Never you though. I read or watch every word. My husband tells our friends I’m a member of badass quilters. Health and happiness to you this year and always!
Nine days and counting….isn’t it nifty….Maddie’ll be fifty!
Happy birthday🎂
