Hello lovely quilter! May we wish you a happy Valentine's (or Galentine's) Day? It's the day of love, and that doesn't mean just romantic love - here at Make Modern, we are all for celebrating a love of fabric, a love of quilting, and a love of creativity. And that's why we're here! We are dedicated to inspiring, motivating and cheering you on when it comes to your quilty pursuits! You'll find a bit more about that in our current issue 62 where the talented Diane L Murtha has written an article all about challenging yourself and trying something new. We're also all quilters ourselves and understand various challenges that come to our beloved hobby, and our Editor Jane gets very candid sharing her journey with ADHD and quilting. You can check out these articles, plus columns on well being and the actual quilting part of the process in Issue 62 which is available now.
Or if you're in the mood to make... you could pick one of the patterns from the latest issue for your next project! Look at these lovely heartfelt colours - perfect for digging into the stash! Or maybe a smaller project, like a baby quilt, or for something different - some hand pieced bangles featuring your favourite fabrics! Or we even have big quilts in case you want a project to really sink your teeth into! Whether you want to make one of these fun projects or you feel the need to indulge in some quilty reading, Issue 62 is your next read. It's all digital which means you can be reading within minutes of clicking this button!
Now I did mention a chance for a special gift! I'll make you wait no longer. We have an exclusive bonus pattern just for subscribers to Make Modern magazine! Whether you choose an annual subscription, or go big and nab an All-Access pass, this bonus pattern can be yours when you sign up this month! You'll get Issue 62 as soon as you subscribe, plus this paper pieced pattern designed by Kristy, our Creative Director and the FPP lover behind Quiet Play (that's me!) as a bonus gift. But don't dilly dally, this bonus pattern is only available for subscribers during February!
However you spend today, be it reading, sewing, or something else entirely, we hope you have a wonderful week. We'll next be back in your inbox to give you a wee sneak peek of our next issue. See you then! Happy making! Kristy, Lara and Jane โ
