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. The winner will have 2 days to respond to the Facebook video winners announcement, if they do not respond in that time we will re-draw for a new winner/s. Make sure you like the the BAQS FB page and if able using the choices for following put the BAQS page first in your timeline. At the very least set a reminder on your phone RIGHT NOW to check the page on the 23rd to find out if you won!

Happy almost birthday!! You sound very ready to join the 50+ group and tell people like it is! Love your spunk and your generosity! Been watching your FB video posts for a while now. Keep ‘me coming, please!?
I love your attitude about age. I think we should all be our true selves. Happy birthday.
My other number is 69 But other then a new knee on Weds I’ll tear up this end of the world to help you celebrate.
I wish you THEE BEST BADASS 50th Birthday… Thank you for sharing the REAL you with us. Thank you for your generous giveaway. Thank you for letting me fit in without restrictions. Yep, I’m too loud, too bold, don’t fit in, eyes rolled at. Me being 58…I dont give a rat ass any longer and just enjoy being myself! So GO on with YOUR bad self, because it gives a lot of us comfort in many ways and it looks GOOD on you. My BadAss black hoodie is ready to be proudly worn for Road to California quilt show next week, it is where I saw it first last year. That is if I can get my sweet cat off of it… PS: If I win…can you autograph the machine ! ? !
Happy birthday to you 🎂! Thanks for the giveaway!!
Wow! Happy Birthday! We are the same age. 🎉😀😊.
My good friend calls them the “F*ck-You-Fifties” and I love it!
Happy Birthday Maddie! Have a great 50th Birthday..
Happy Birthday, Maddie!
Happy 50th. It is only a number I’m almost to the 60 mark and the 50 have been a adventure for sure.
Maddie I sincerely hope that 50 is everything you want it to be!!
Happy Birthday!🎁🎂🎊
Happy Birthday Maddie. Thank you for all you do for us Quilters. Have. Fabulous Birthday.
As someone who has never fit into a mold her whole life, I feel that age has been very freeing. Happy birthday, Maddie.
Fifty was very freeing for me- it was the year I learned that I could retire from the classroom in just two more years. I am now retired although I tutor 4 nights a week. Allows me a lot more time for sewing and quilting! I hope 50 brings you lots of joy too! If I won this machine, I would regift it to my daughter that lost her Brother in the Harvey flood. Thanks for spreading some happiness Maddie.
Thank you and happy birthday!
Happy Birthday and many more happy ones
Happy Birthday Maddie! Have a wonderful birthday! And party till the cows come home🎂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
