SPOOL out BadAss Quilters in

Earlier this week, I learned SPOOL is up for sale. The thought of owning a quilt shop is a dream for many sewists who likely envision their place as a social nexus. But, running a quilt shop is challenging. I know, because I’ve had several friends who were quilt shop owners. So, it’s no wonder that Maddie Kertay, founder of the BadAss Quilters Society and owner of SPOOL, when faced with two growing business lines chose to put her energy into BadAss.

If you need meat on the bones for how exactly running a quilt shop is difficult, Maddie shares details from the last 3 years at SPOOL.

I recently treated myself to “The Christmas Quilt / The New Year’s Quilt” by Jennifer Chiaverini for the upcoming holiday season. As a fan of the Elm Creek Quilts series, I couldn’t resist diving into this heartwarming tale of Christmas traditions and family legacies.

The anticipation of exploring the holiday festivities at Elm Creek Manor is palpable, especially with Sylvia Bergstrom Compson, the Master Quilter, at the helm. Sarah McClure’s eagerness to bring Christmas cheer to the manor adds an extra layer of excitement as she uncovers a curious Christmas quilt with a rich history spanning generations.

As I eagerly await immersing myself in this delightful narrative, I’m already captivated by the promise of cherished memories, family bonds, and the timeless traditions that have endured through the years. With each page promising glimpses into the past and the present, I’m bracing myself for a heartwarming journey filled with love, hope, and the spirit of giving.

Being a part of the Elm Creek Quilts series has been a joyous experience, and I can’t wait to unwrap the magic of “The Christmas Quilt / The New Year’s Quilt” this holiday season. So, no spoilers, please—let the enchanting tale unfold as I cozy up with this beloved series once again.

Please make sure not to leave me any spoilers as I haven’t read it yet.
