You are not alone
Being liberal in the quilting world can feel isolating and that is why BadAss Quilters Society exists. We are here to offer social support and community to liberal quilters and crafters who care about living in a world that values diversity and equality.
We believe that Love is Love, Science is Real, Reproductive Rights are Human Rights, Black Lives Matter and being neutral puts you on the side of the oppressor.
We do our best to be the strongest, loudest and best examples of what it means to be good humans living their lives on the left and loving side of history.
If this is you, welcome, you have found your people.
Hi, I am Maddie Kertay, founder of BadAss Quilters Society. I am a liberal AF, human who craves like minded community and does my best to be a supportive bright-light, truth-teller in an industry that favors shutting up, not rocking the boat and for women to stay in their place. I say “fuck that” and if you want to know more click on my About Maddie page for more about what you can expect here.
