More About This Issue
Make Modern is your ultimate guide to quilting joy, written by quilters who understand the magic of fabric and thread.
MEET two inspiring makers: Erin Holmes of Hexen Haus, whose bold, graphic designs are timeless classics with a modern twist, often infused with meaning and mythology; and Cole Whitaker of Coles Quilts, who made his first quilt as an adult, inspired by a Super Mario 3 theme for his guest room!
MAKE ten beautiful quilt projects including foundation paper piecing, English paper piecing, and regular machine pieced stash-busting projects. You’ll find something for every skill level and every timeframe … because not everyone wants to whip up a king-sized quilt before Christmas (but no shade if you do, we’ve got one of those too!).
MOTIVATE yourself with a mix of heartfelt and provoking reads. Discover what your longarmer really wants you to know, explore the world of art-inspired quilting, and join Lara on her trip to France for the Carrefour European Quilt Show – a celebration of creativity, community … and kangaroos?!
📌 Inside Issue 67 you’ll find…
- 10 Must-Make Modern Quilts – From the cutest EPP Christmas wreath to hang on your door (show the world a quilter lives here!), to a tiny perfectly-pieced rainbow quilt, try your hand at FPP, piece some plaid, or stitch a posy of proteas!

🌍 A Note to Our Quilty Friends in Canada, the UK, Europe & Beyond! 🇨🇦🇬🇧🇪🇺
We’d love to offer subscriptions and issue sales in every currency, but as a small (but mighty!) team, that’s a bit beyond our quilting hoop. Instead, we ask you to select Aussie dollars (AUD) at checkout – this usually works out best for your conversion rate, and your bank will do the magic of switching it to CAD, GBP, EUR, or whatever lovely currency you use. Thanks for understanding, and happy stitching from Down Under! 🇦🇺✨
