Fast-Piece Applique: Blog Tour Day 3 Maddie Kertay --- SEXY

In her own words...she answers the question,
Who the heck is this Maddie person?

"I am the mother of seven kids ages 25 to 13, crazy huh? I share my life with my loves Les and Flaun and am the furry mom to multiple pets. I teach and lecture on quilting, creativity and social media all the while harboring a secret desire to learn to pole dance. On any given day, you can find me either in our amazing fabric store SPOOL or plotting the overthrow of the quilting world with radical ideas like acceptance and general BadAss good will."

All of this and more is why I love Maddie Kertay.

Her spirit is wild, yet loving in BIG ways.
and, she is more than willing to take on any GOOD battle.

I met Maddie at spring market in Portland where I gladly became a button wearing BadAss Quilting Society member. It was the market before she opened Spool -- her amazing store in Chattanooga, TN. I got to know her better that summer as the store came together. Maddie shared the ups and downs of it all,  and I consider myself a lucky girl to have been there for the opening.
