There are articles on quilting for charity and a whole gallery of modern takes on the timeless log cabin quilt pattern to inspire you to make your own.

Meet the Makers

Ever wonder about the quilters behind those stunning quilts? We chat to quilters from opposite sides of the earth - Aussie quilter Amy Morgan who has, quite literally, been quilting for her entire life, and modern quilter and fabric designer from the US Giuseppe Ribaudo who is known for (but not limited to) his bold, colour-saturated style.

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 issue #53, which is included in the Christmas Special offer!

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.
