Dear Reader,

It's the big day - the new issue has arrived! This is our 67th issue - that's 67 times we've hit publish and then sat back and waited to see what your favourite part of the new issue is!

We're wondering what you'll love about this issue - will it be one of the amazing quilt projects? Maybe learning what your longarmer wants you to know about your quilts. Or perhaps your favourite part is visiting the European Quilt Show (vicariously!) with our Business Manager Lara. I guess you'd better go get your copy of Issue 67 so you can tell us!

Given us quilters are visual types, I'd better share some photos so you can have a lil peek before you open the pages of Issue 67!

Our cover quilt is this bold, striking design, Cracked, by Rita Geyermann!

Some quilts just grab your attention and captivate you, and this is one such quilt. Between the use of colour, quilting and design, this is a showstopper that would fantastic hanging on the wall!

​

If you think our cover quilt is a pop of colour, wait until you see the rest of the projects! Just look at all these beauties awaiting you in the pages...

This issue we meet Makers, Erin Holmes and Cole Whitaker, make ten beautiful projects using a range of techniques, and motivate yourself with insights into what your longarmer really wants you to know. Plus, take a virtual trip to France with Lara’s travel journal from Carrefour - The European Quilt Show. Pure quilty joy!

Plus ... just by reading this issue, you're automatically in the running for a fabulous giveaway. Thanks to the Stitcher's Loft, you could win the Ultimate Slow Stitching Bundle - packed with gorgeous threads, beautiful bundles of fabric, patterns, notions, and an English Paper Piecing book worth over $200. It's open to readers around the globe and we'll reveal the lucky winner in Make Modern Issue 68. So go on, get your issue now! Happy stitching and good luck!

Grab a single copy, or why not pick up a subscription and make sure you never miss an issue? The perfect early Christmas present for yourself!

But the best value?

Our All Access Pass. You'll unlock every issue we've ever published (over 650 patterns, hundreds of articles, and creativity galore), plus start your subscription with the current issue (that's 67) and get year-round inspiration to sew. You deserve it!

We hope you enjoy our latest issue and find a whole bunch of inspiration for your next project.

We'd also love to invite you to join our Facebook group (free, of course!) and connect with our clever quilters and talk about the thing we love most - quilting!

Happy making!

Kristy, Lara and Jane
