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.

Happy Happy Birthday Maddie! Welcome to the 50s!!! They are awesome and I personally wouldn’t go back to a different age!!
Happy birthday! 50 is a great age to be you!
I’m so excited for your comfort with this birthday. Thank you for giving us opportunities for gift.
I just turned 60 this past October. My 50’s I had lots of changes, it was time for me to start thinking about what was important to me instead of everyone around me. Good luck and best wishes.
Happy Birthday 🎉🍾🎂

Have a wonderful Birthday Maddie! 50 was a freeing birthday for me as I finally realized it was OK to be me and if the world didn’t like it….well, Fuck what or whoever didn’t like it!! That’s the single most important thing BAQS. Thank you Maddie for giving us all a place to be bad asses!!
Happy 50th Birthday – thanks for the giveaway. You are gonna love the 50’s!
Hope you have a wonderful birthday month. Thanks for the chance to win the amazing prizes.
Happy early birthday! I hope 50 brings you as much enjoyment as life can offer.
What a fantastic way to celebrate your birthday. And also, love your “irreverent” way. I’ve spent a lifetime being “too” something. 50 is 3 1/2 years away for me and I agree…I’m getting more ok being in my own skin every day. I’m liking more and more who I am and for my less lovely qualities I’m working to do better.
Wishing you the Happiest of Birthdays!!
Best wishes always for you Maddie! 💜🎂💜
Happy Birthday fellow Januarian!
Happy Birthday! Your 50’s will be great!
Wishing you a Happy Badass Birthday Miss Maddie! Thank you for the opportunity and thank you for always keeping it Badass!
Happy birthday. Welcome to 50.
What Fun! Happy birthday & welcome to the 50’s club!
Happy Birthday Maddie 🎂 I would so love to win a new machine!!! My mother broad went out on my Bernina 630 2 yrs ago and I haven’t been able to have it repaired..Thank you for a Chance to win!!
You are such a kind and giving soul. I love following along with you. Happy Birthday!
Giving to someone else on your special day? That sounds so like you! I will be 52 a few days after your birthday and I really don’t feel that different from before 50. thank you for all you do to help me be badass!! I hope you have a happy birthday, Maddie!!
50 is nothing! Just a number, after having breast cancer your views of life change considerably! Let’s just say my tolerance for bullshit is “0” I find myself correcting people’s rudeness at times much to the dismay of those around me 😇 Life is short,enjoy every day! Here’s wishing you the best birthday ever!
Happy 50th Mad Maddie!
Happy Birthday! The 50s started out rough, but ended up wonderfully. Then came the 60s! Even better because I got to retire 3 weeks ago! I hope your 50s are everything you are hoping for!
You look amazing g!
