Beautiful fabrics and quilts are meant to be shown off and enjoyed. Agree? We certainly do, and in this issue, we encourage you to use your quilts, with ways to get them out of your cupboards, on display and in rotation. And if you’ve got special fabric that you can’t quite bring yourself to cut up into a quilt yet, we continue the theme and MOTIVATE you to use that precious fabric! 
We MEET two talented quilters, Jo Avery and Velda Roy, and showcase an entire gallery of teeny tiny micro mini quilts! And we MAKE rainbows as we cheer on our Creative Director (and self-confessed rainbow addict) Kristy Lea who makes her fabric debut with her new Create line, featured in the Rainbow Bright quilt pattern, just one of the ten beautiful patterns featured in Issue 35. Be inspired by our incredible line up of international quilters and makers to prise that precious coveted fabric out of your stash and under your machine, pronto!


It’s a funny time now, with more of us staying tucked up at home than ever. We’ve got plenty of ideas for how you can make the most of your stash while you’re staying home, and how to stay focused and productive. When you get through the WIPs and UFOs, there’s a heap of new patterns ready and waiting for you. We consider what quilting was like in the 1950s – mid-century quilters had quite a modern vibe! And if you’re craving travel, you might enjoy our recap of the recent International Quilt Festival in Tokyo.

We MEET the amazing Carolyn Murfitt of Freebird Quilting Designs, whose quilting skills will have you in awe; and the fabulous Karen Brown of Just Get it Done Quilts, a motivator for quilters everywhere! We MOTIVATE you with pandemic sewing ideas – it’s a crazy world, but the perfect time to smash that stash! There are tons of great makes, from striking foundation paper pieced quilts, to an adorable EPP pincushion and a super-fun medal quilt (we could all do with one of those!)

Quilt inspiration is everywhere, you just have to look for it. Whether it’s taking photos of potential inspiration when you’re out and about, revisiting a classic block in a modern way, sorting out your stash to make the most of what you’ve got, or simply browsing pictures of amazing quilts and learning about their makers, we’ve got quilt inspiration everywhere this issue.
We MEET the super talented Lorena Uriarte and the very clever sister duo, Missy and Kimie from On Williams Street. Jane MOTIVATES with how we found quilt inspiration on a recent MM team trip and how you can train your brain to see designs everywhere. We’re talking stash curation – which means you get to play with your fabric collection, analyse what you’ve got, and plan your shopping around the gaps. If you want to make more solid quilts, our gallery is full of inspiration. MAKE a gorgeous quilt, using popular techniques like FPP, EPP and embroidery. Be inspired by fresh new ways with log cabins. 

If you’re like every quilter we’ve ever met (ourselves included), you’ve got a fabric stash that exceeds the projects you’re working on … whether it’s scraps from past projects, designer bundles you couldn’t resist, fabric for future projects or fabric you’ve purchased just because. Many of us may have more fabric than we’ll use in a lifetime! If this sounds like you, you’re in the right place because we have declared 2020 to be the year we help you analyse, organise and harness the power in your fabric stash …. and SMASH THAT STASH!

Join our year long block swap and get MOTIVATED to smash your stash with us. Discover the importance of proper pressing and learn how to plan a charity quilt drive. MAKE our clever curved triangle quilt, the cutest cat cushion, or pair gradating solids with crisp white to make our stunning cover quilt. MEET quilters Kirsty Cleverly and Paige Anderson. Happy stash busting!

In Issue 31, we MEET (Darling) Di Jobbins, an accomplished modern quilter widely known in the Australian modern quilting scene, who tells us about her quilting journey which began with designing quilts for the clergy wives of Sydney to stitch together almost 40 years ago; the incredibly talented designer Jennifer Sampou who gives sage advice for new quilters and for those of you who would like to start designing your own quilts, and tells us how she connects her passion for the environment with her love for quilting; and Gracey Larson, who shares snaps of some of her gorgeous whimsical quilt blocks and reveals how she turned her quilting hobby into a multi-faceted business, Burlap and Blossom Patterns. We MAKE quilts covering techniques of all types, from HSTs, HRTs, and foundation piecing in our Curve Illusions quilt, to quilt-as-you-go cathedral windows in our Peekaboo Voyage quilt and share a list of some of our favourite tools to help you with English Paper Piecing, encouraging you to try something new. And we MOTIVATE you with Judy’s ‘Blogging Your Travel in Stitches’ article, sharing her process for creating a quilted travelblog beginning during her retirement ‘gap year’. The result is a fabulous quilt filled with tiny stitched artworks each representing a story, memory or event from her travels. Or maybe you have t-shirts stashed away for a someday t-shirt quilt? Capi shares a touching story ‘Rescued and Re-used’ about losing a friend and creating an heirloom t-shirt quilt for the family. Our regular columnists share tips on perfecting your quarter inch seam, reasons for you to push and shove everybody! (you’ll get it when you read it), and why now is the perfect time for small business owners to reflect on 2019 to plan for 2020. Our gallery this issue is an inspirational wrap up of the prize-winning quilts from the 2019 Australian Modern Quilt Show.

Issue 30 marks our FIFTH birthday! In Issue 30, we meet three incredible makers – Lauren Wright from Molly and Mama, Saija Kiiskinen who we fell in love with on Insta, and Meghan Buchanan from Then Came June; we make rainbow quilts, pinwheels and the prettiest little project pouch; and we motivate readers to improve their practice with an article on applying Aggregation of Marginal Gains to quilting (intrigued?!), additionally we have our brand new Techniques + Tips column by Alyce Blyth. We discuss the therapeutic benefits of quilting with our feature article, Why is Quilting Good For Us?

Issue 29 is another big issue at 126 pages! We meet three inspiring quilters, we make quilts, cushions and an enamel pin holder and we summarise our top tips for foundation paper piecing. This issue is jam packed with patterns suitable for beginner through to advanced quilters, and articles guaranteed to make you smile, teach you something new, and inspire you to try something new.

In Issue 28, we MEET makers Moira De Carvalho from Quilt Talking, and Jane Kelly, Make Modern’s very own Editor. We MAKE pixel quilts, mini quilts, and chat favourite techniques. And we MOTIVATE you to think about the importance of value and getting quilts that glow! We go wild with a whole gallery of animal quilts and bring you a pattern to make your own ❤︎ Our business expert Angie talks progress over perfection in The Hustle; our rockstar quilter HollyAnne shows you how to quilt paisleys; our math expert Alyce teaches us the math behind triangles (not as scary as it sounds!); and resident agony aunt Molli Sparkles gives us the downlow on the ultimate pressing table, offers advice on getting over solidsphobia and coaches us on how to deal with the haters. Plus 10 modern quilt patterns and the much-awaited next steps for our medallion sampler, our 28th issue is sure to get you raring to sew!

One of the things we love to ask our makers when we’re interviewing them is their tips to other quilters. We get a lot of great advice – but coincidentally this issue, both HollyAnne Knight and Sylvia Schaefer had almost identical answers! They both encouraged other quilters to stop being afraid of different quilting techniques, to fight that fear we all have as quilters. And boy, could we relate!
 
We love to offer all kinds of projects in Make Modern, loads of different techniques and varying levels of difficulty. We want to push you outside your comfort zone. And with the full backing of HollyAnne and Sylvia – we urge you to face your quilty fears straight on and try something new! Whether that be piecing eight-at-a-time HSTs!, making triangles from templates, cutting into your favourite charm pack, stitching a 3D quilt, or the precision that comes with using foundation paper piecing to make teeny tiny pineapple blocks, or perhaps pushing you outside your comfort zone just means getting your scraps under control (oh heck yes!). Whatever that may be, we’ve got something new for you to try this issue.
