Make Modern Issue 37

If your quilting tools were friends, then your sewing machine would definitely be your bestie, the one you need right by your side to make magic with. Also in your inner circle would be your rotary cutter, scissors, and thread. But what about rulers, templates, and ultimate enemy of the quilting world, your dreaded unpicker …?! Our Editor’s Jane tells us why she thinks you need to rethink your relationship with your seam ripper.

Also in Issue 37 we MEET Sandra Johnson who shares her love for repurposing denim, hand stitching and wearable art, and Rachel Hauser of Stitched in Color whose quilt blog fuelled both Kristy & Lara’s personal quilting obsessions! We MAKE lots of flying geese, an optical illusion quilt and a clever secret message baby quilt with a pattern than spells out ‘I Love You’ in binary code!  We MOTIVATE you to do a little more background work before choosing the perfect background fabric for your next project and encourage you to make a plan to use your pre-cut fabrics. There’s a gallery of fabric postcards put together by Sarah Ruiz, we chat about sewalong quilts, finishing your quilting threads, and reviews of modern quilt books. There’s a lot to enjoy about this issue.
