Make Modern - New Issue Day!

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 50 has some beautiful rainbow projects and stunning neutral quilts, an interview with Lisa Cox of Spoonful of Sugar and an article about establishing habits for quilt design.

“Because it’s our 50th issue AND the start of a brand-new year, we’ve made a super handy WIP Tracker to help you organise your quilt projects for the year. You can print the tracker and fill it out, or you can fill it out electronically, you do you! Thank you for your ongoing support of our independent, female-owned Australian business! ”

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!

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

Make Modern was created over eight 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 or US dollars. A single issue is just AU$10 or $12 USD. You can checkout with any credit card. Of course, if you choose to subscribe, the rate gets even better!

Above is the current issue, #50.

Let’s talk a little bit more about the All Access Subscription. For a flat fee ( US$75 or AU$99) the Make Modern All Access Subscription gives you instant access to all 50 issues of Make Modern, including 500+ 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$400.

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.
