Rainbow Illusions by Monika Henry @pennyspoolquilts is proof that you don’t need curves to create magic – just clever colour placement, sharp points and a whole lot of rainbow joy. 🌈✨
This modern quilt plays with movement and illusion so it looks like the colours are glowing and shifting across the quilt. Make it soft and subtle with pastels or go bold and bright for full rainbow impact.
You’ll find Rainbow Illusions in Issue 67 of Make Modern – grab your copy or subscribe and add a little optical magic to your quilty wall! 💖

Most of us know our birth stones but what about birth flowers? Each month has a beautiful flower to represent it - and you can sew one a month throughout 2026 to create a Year of Flowers with Kristy @quietplay
Kristy starts with the carnation, January’s birth flower, symbolising love, devotion and affection. The pattern will arrive before the month starts to give time to sew for any January birthdays!
You can create a beautiful wreath of flowers throughout
2026. Plus you’ll get each flower as an individual pattern that you can sew for a loved one. What better than their birth flower made into a pretty project?
Want more details? Or maybe you’d like to nab yourself the earlybird discount ( in which case you’d better join

“
If your quilt layers are shifting, bunching, or just not cooperating, your walking foot might be the unsung hero you’re forgetting about.
It feeds all the layers evenly, keeps your lines straight, and makes the whole process smoother and way less frustrating. Whether you’re quilting bulky seams, slippery fabric, or doing stitch in the ditch, the walking foot is a total game changer.
If you’ve never used one or just forgot about it, this is your sign to give it a try.”

🎄November 4th, the installation of the largest crocheted Christmas tree in Brazil, began in the courtyard of the Matriz Church. A special moment and full of emotion for everyone who followed closely the beginning of this great symbol of Christmas Rodeo.
As the tree took shape, the crocheters continued to crochet, demonstrating the love and dedication that made this project a true collective work. 💚

Reader Reviews
The whole team does a fantastic job and the magazine often has very good competitions.
an app would be excellent to keep all copies in one place but this still works well enough.
To me and my whole family. Individual stories of quilters that are in this publication are so interesting and very like myself in the process of evolving as a quilt artist. You won’t be disappointed with this magazine. I highly recommend it!
