I know that lots of you who follow this blog, also subscribe to Make Modern, a beautiful magazine written by quilters for quilters and delivered digitally to creatives across the world.

They’ve just released a new issue! Issue 41 has some beautiful projects, interviews with a diverse group of quilters and an article titled “Scale and Proportion” directed to those who like to design their own projects too.

Since Make Modern is digital, it’s affordable and accessible. You can enjoy it on your computer, tablet or phone, knowing that the money you spent is going to the actual creatives behind the articles and patchwork patterns, instead of to printing and shipping costs. Win-win!

From Make Modern:

What's in store for you in Issue 41? 

We MAKE that show-stopping cover quilt with clever curved piecing, a gorgeous rainbow baby quilt, a jelly roll lap quilt and more beautiful modern quilt projects designed to get you diving into your stash to quilt. We chat about fussy cutting EPP, scale and proportion, drawing your quilt plan, improv piecing and show you ways to use your stash for 'not just quilts'.

We MOTIVATE you to spread your love of quilting to the next generation with our new series on Sewing with Kids. And read our Editor's letter for tips on how to spot a quilter in the wild.

Here are some of my favorite projects from the new issue:

Make Modern was created over five years ago by four Australian quilters. It’s published 6 times a year. You can purchase individual issues, a subscription or an All-Access pass.

Here are a few covers that caught my eye, just to give you a feel of other issues:

Each issue is 100+ pages jam-packed with modern quilt patterns designed by talented quilters from all over the globe, articles to inspire and teach you something new, and interviews with your favorite quilt designers. Issues are delivered as PDF files, to be read on your favorite device, with patterns printed as you wish. Nothing to store, lots to enjoy!

There are lots of Make Modern quilts (plus small projects) that I could see myself making. Rainbow + scraps always makes my heart skip a beat!

Patterns are suitable for beginner quilters to advanced. Articles about modern quilting aim to make you smile, inspire you to quilt outside your comfort zone, and start making modern quilts today.

Make Modern is sold in Australian dollars, which means it’s even cheaper than you might at first think (if you’re not Australian). A single issue is just AU$10 (approx. US$7, CA$9, €6 or £5). You can checkout with any credit card. Of course, if you choose to subscribe, the rate gets even better!

Keep in mind that prices are shown in Australian dollars in the shopping cart. To find out the up-to-date conversion to your currency, just ask Google. For example, type “10 AUD to USD”.

Above is the current issue, #41.

Let’s talk a little bit more about the All Access Subscription. For a flat fee (approximately US$74, CA$96, €64 or £55) the Make Modern All Access Subscription gives you instant access to all 41 issues of Make Modern, including 300+ full quilt patterns, plus an annual subscription with 6 new issues delivered to your device each year all from the one, simple link. That's a saving of over AU$350.

Do you already have a Make Modern subscription, but not the All Access one? You can choose to upgrade now by purchasing the All Access Subscription. Then email Make Modern to request a refund for the remaining balance of your old subscription. They’re happy to oblige.

Any Make Modern purchase made via links from Stitched in Color helps keep this blog up and running.

Thank you for your support and happy making!
