In this issue, we’re delving into the world of quilting with a fresh perspective. If you’ve been quilting for a while, you know the joy of whipping up a basic quilt almost effortlessly. Patterns become mere guides, and you can pull fabrics from your stash to create a beautiful gift in no time. But let’s face it, sometimes this comfort zone can feel a bit too cozy. That’s where the excitement of trying something new comes in … and that’s what we’re all about!
If you have been thinking about treating yourself to a subscription, now is a great time to start. Subscribe today and get instant access to this issue plus a year’s supply of quilting inspiration – 60+ quilt projects to make, tips to improve your skills, and connection with an international community of quilters. Not only will you be inspired to make more quilts all year long, but you’ll be supporting an independent publication created by quilters for quilters just like you.
But don’t just take my word for it, here are some reviews from readers:
“Super customer friendly subscription service and so completely worth it. This is a source and resource, continual inspiration that will keep your mind creating beyond the norm for years to come. Opening each new issue is like giving yourself a modern, quilted gamut of color burst imagination. Can’t recommend it enough!” – Connie, USA
“Make Modern has lots of well thought out patterns and very many articles of interest. There are always projects I want to start right away.” – Laura, Canada
“I love Make Modern Magazine. When it arrives to my inbox each month, I always read it through ‘cover’ to ‘cover’. The multitude of patterns are right there, in each issue, where I will never loose them, as they are kept in a folder on my desktop.” – Brenda, Canada
Also in Issue 58, we chat with two quilters who embody the spirit of creativity and entrepreneurship in the quilting world – MEET Laura Piland of Slice of Pi Quilts who has an impressive portfolio of over 500 quilts, and Leah Fisher whose pandemic-inspired journey blossomed into a thriving business venture ♥
We MAKE and we MOTIVATE
We MAKE vibrant modern quilts with curves, beautiful quick-to-sew strip quilts, modern scrappy star quilts, and a cute cushion featuring whimsical mushrooms. We delve into the art of mindful quilting, with tips to encourage you to slow down and savour the quilting process; explore memory quilts and ways to infuse your quilts with deeper meaning with magic number memory quilts; show you how to choose the perfect colour palette for your quilt; give you tips to help you make a quilt coat; and we MOTIVATE you to try a new binding technique with Deonn Stott – who has written a whole book on the subject! There’s a whole gallery of garden-inspired modern quilts for you to see and be inspired, and a competition to win a bundle of 35 fat quarters! Let’s step off the beaten path, embrace new techniques, and inject some fresh energy into our quilting journey. It’s time to rediscover the joy and creativity that first drew us to quilting!
And inside every issue of Make Modern there’s a competition!

If this is your very first issue, welcome to our community – we’re quilters who love fabric (chopping it up, stitching it back together, and some of us even enjoy just petting it in our spare time), colour, fresh designs, and a bit of quirky Aussie fun thrown into the mix. It’s never too late to start reading, and this issue is a great one to start with. Get your copy now and see what we’re all about ♥
Inside every issue of Make Modern magazine are the full patterns for ten modern quilt projects, as well as lots of must-read articles written by quilters, for quilters! See below for the list of patterns and articles inside this issue and visit our website to explore options to subscribe, or buy just this issue. If you have never read a copy of our beautiful, independently-published magazine, start with this one! We are passionate about showcasing the joy of modern quilting to the world and want you to come and see what we’re all about.
One of the great things about being independently published is that every time you email, you’ll get to chat directly with a quilter from our little team. Have a question? I’m just an email away and would love to hear from you. I hope wherever you are in the world, you are safe, sheltered, and surrounded by fabric. Digital hugs from one quilter to another,
