Hello Reader! We're wrapping up the last days of February as crazy as that sounds! We'd be remiss if we didn't remind you about the special subscriber bonus. Because it's your last chance to nab it by subscribing to Make Modern before the end of the month. If you love foundation piecing, hearts and flying geese, it's the perfect pattern for you! Here's a lil reminder of what it looks like: To make this pattern yours, all you have to do is join us as a subscriber to Make Modern magazine. Get an annual subscription or go all out with the VIP All Access! Join by the end of February and this fun pattern will be yours ready for you to sew.
So... what's new with you? Us? Well... we've been busy little bees since last we spoke - getting the finishing touches on Issue 63 and making sure it's ready to wing its way to you in just two week's time! Each issue is over 100 pages and Issue 63 is no exception - that's a whole bunch of projects, articles and columns to inspire and delight! Would you like a lil sneak peek of what's headed your way? Of course you would! Say no more! We have these 10 awesome quilt patterns coming your way, plus articles sharing how to start quilt painting with Eva Saunders, dabbling with HSTs, and how to conquer that quilt math fear with Barbara and Ula from Designed to Quilt, along with our regular columns on Quilt Wellbeing and Quilt Like a Rockstar. How will you contain your excitement waiting for this next issue to arrive? Well we'd suggest flipping through Issue 62 if you haven't already! You can grab Issue 62 as a single copy, or when you subscribe, you'll have it waiting for you ready to read.
I mentioned the All Access Pass but in case you'd like to know or maybe you've been mulling over how you'd like to get more quilty reading into your life, why not treat yourself to an All-Access pass? That gives you access to every issue we've published including our most recent Issue 62! Over 600 projects, countless articles, numerous columns and infinite inspiration.

π¨ Calling all creative quilters! π¨ We need your help designing the perfect Make Modern sticker to take with us to the European Patchwork Meeting in France! β¨ Your design should include a nod to Australia - think shape, a map, or something uniquely Aussie - along with the text @makemodernmagazine and our signature colours (see below). The winner will score a prize bundle (plus a stash of their own stickers!). Ready to get designing? Send your best ideas through via email submissions@makemodern.com.au by the end of March!

We've just set up a Make Modern community on Facebook and we'd love to invite you to join us! It's an inspiring and supportive space for modern quilters of all ages and skill levels from around the world.

Hello quilty friend!There's a saying that pops up whenever quilting and sewing memes are created - "I cannot count my day complete until needle, thread and fabrics meet".
