BadAss Quilters Society
LIBERAL AF
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.

The Furiously Happy Quilter
I have been warned that a quilting blog is a terrible place to talk about depression but since I have also wandered into other hot button topics such as of sex on quilts and the flagrant use of the Instant Pot I think it is pretty safe to say that I don't take all...
Quilt Market Ready!
The twice a year "big dance" for the quilt industry starts next week and I am already packing lest I forget something like underwear or the quilts I am to bring. The house is being readied and at the very last moment I will fill it with food since if done a second too...
Text On Quilts – Making Your Feelings Known
Seems that we all have a lot to express these days! From words of love and warmth to those of political resistance, action and claiming back power that some would want to take from us. While I know I must have seen text on quilts before, since really this is not new...

Of Hamburgers and Fat Quarters- Comparing and Choice in the Quilting Fabric World
In my town there is no shortage of fast food burgers to be had. By in large they are all the same and while eating one will not kill you there is little to recommend these places with the exception of speed of service and location ease. On the other hand there...
Making Back Your Bank At Quilt Market
Two times a year the quilt world gets all nutty as they prepare for Market. If you have friends who are part of this world as designers or working for them they have probably disappeared off your social radar, they look pale from lack of sunshine and they are living...
Word of the Day – Showrooming – BAQS at Business
To "showroom" is to take advantage of the services of a store with the intention of learning about all the benefits and features of a product and then go elsewhere ( often online) to purchase them for a discounted price. Can I be frank?.... this is SHITTY behavior....
