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!!…….

“When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
Gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me”
I’ve seen this in theatre twice now. I’m happy it moved someone else too ^_^
My 1970 Singer has seen better days…I’d like to win one of the machines so as to continue to be me.
Also, happiest of birthdays to you!
Happy Birthday….enjoyed the videos…
Happy Birthday Maddie! I have a new Brother VQ2400 and I love it. It doesn’t do embroidery but it sews like a dream! I would love to win another one!! Plus my birthday is tomorrow!! LOL
Happy Birthday.
Happy birthday!!

Fifty might be nifty but sixty five is just grand!!
Happy Birthday 🎂
50 is nifty🎈
Ive just started quilting and Im 64..!😉 my bernina is from 1973 and is still going!😉
Happy Birthday Maddie. I’m getting closer to the next big number 50 wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Embrace it!
Happy birthday! Could use some happiness.
Happy Birthday, Maddie! May you have many more as a BAQuilter.
If I was to win I would gift it to myself. Now some people might say that is selfish, however; I have given everything to everyone else and now I’m starting to give to me, and this machine would be awesome as I only have a very old Janome Schoolmate extreme basic machine. I love to embroider and you can’t do that on my machine, this would allow me to make my granddaughter her quilt with a design my mom designed for her great granddaughters, along with all her figure skating outfits. Sorry for the long postI 🙂
I don’t know if I did this wrong but my first comment did not show up.
Wishing you a wonderful birthday month!
Maddie you sure know how to throw a party! Happy Birthday..Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
Have a great day Maddie. Getting close to your big birthday!
Happy birthday
Wow happy birthday, thanks for sharing.
Happy birthday
Sure hope to win the sweetest sewing mechine ever.
What a great opportunity! Thank you!
I already commented but I wanted to thank you about the gay comment!! My dad found out I like to quilt and told me that I needed to man up. I simply replied telling him that the man he idolized (being his grandpa my great grandpa) used to knit him and the other grandkids booties. He just fell silent haha. Happy Birthday!!
Good for you!
Hope you will have a great birthday. I think you have a great attitude for turning 50….
Happy Birthday,🎶🎉🎂
Somehow I keep messing up! I am going to try posting again. I wish you the best on your 50th birthday.
Happy birthday! 50 deserves a big celebration!
Good morning and happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Thanks Maddie for gifting us in your birthday. Happy Burthday🎁🎊🎂🎉🎈❄️
YeaH!
Happy birthday! Hope it’s a terrific year. (50 rocks!)
Happy Birthday.
Happy almost Birthday…wishing you all the very best. I’m not sure if I left a previous comment or not. I looked through all the comments and did not see my name, so I don’t think I did. It has been a bit confusing for me. I apologize in advance if I have already commented.
Happy Birthday and welcome to the unapologetic 50’s 😜
Happy Birthday!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I am just learning to sew. Wife has me learning to do that and quilt. So far no one has gotten injured. lol
Happy birthday 🎉
Happy Birthday Maddie! Fifty is nifty!! I am a former nurse who is now disabled due to multiple sclerosis. Quiltting has saved my sanity. My quilts just take longer to get completed than most. I so appreciate your badass attitude and bubbly videos.
