Hello Reader, We shared our big, and sad, news last week that we will wrapping up Make Modern at the end of the year. All good things must come to an end, as they say. But it doesn't mean we'll be finishing out our year quietly. We still have a bunch of inspiration and quilty goodness to share with - plus another four issues still to come! We hit publish on our most recent mag, Issue 69, and we wanted to share what you can find in the 100+ pages in case you're looking for your next read! Let's start at the beginning with the cover. Reverberate by Kelli Marshall, features rainbow hues paired with a fresh white and it makes for a sweet quilt that would be the perfect gift for a new baby or a beautiful wallhanging! While you could use a single collection like Kelli did, it would also be a fantastic scrapbuster! We are not lacking big bold colour in our patterns this issue either. Whether it's big bright and bright or a sweet pastel pairing of colours. Frank's Cabin (left) by Abigail Kelly is a modern spin on the classic log cabin style, pairing appliqued circles, black sashing and rich ombre berry palette. Combine all of that for a stunning quilt! Dream Weave (right) by Lindsay Upiter is an eye catching quilt that features 10" squares, making it stitch up fast! Plus that large scale give a big impact. Because we like to have something for everyone, we also have quilts made with limited palettes and gosh do they pack a punch! Still Between (left) by Taina de Paula makes a classic sampler quilt modern by creating a variety of patchwork blocks in a simple two-toned colour scheme. The mixing up of block sizes and the layout of the blocks creates additional interest and adds to the modern feel. Woven Lattice (right) by Tamsyn Armstrong is the sort of project that will appeal to the minimalist or traditionalist - and it'll never go out of style. The design is crisp and clean with the combination of identical blocks in two colourways creating a lil extra oomph. So whatcha think? Found a project that tickles your fancy? Go on and click this button and make Issue 69 yours!
Each issue we chat to incredible makers from around the world. Issue 69 features talented quilters Lindsay Upiter and Heather Davis! We're also sharing a whole bunch of articles, columns and features to inspire the mind as well as the quilting!

Hello Reader!, The cold weather has arrived here in Australia and it's utterly delightful. It's seeing me spending more time digging through the stash and sewing up all sorts of pretty things. My constant furry companions (a ragdoll kitty and a sheepadoodle dog) come hang out to stay warm under the heater - and of course to offer advice on which fabrics I should choose. They aren't the most helpful but they are good company. They also love a bit of a snuggle when I'm settling in for a good...
