Why Readers Love Make Modern
This is a great magazine and there are now loads more items on my "I'm going to make this one day" list. There is also a lot of excellent "how to.." advice.
Super customer friendly subscription service and so completely worth it. This is a source and resource, continual inspiration that will keep your mind creating beyond the norm for years to come. Opening each new issue is like giving yourself a modern, quilted gamut of color burst imagination. Can't recommend it enough!
Really enjoyed this magazine. Layout makes sense to me, and some very doable patterns for all levels, and photography is a treat. 😉🇨🇦
I like the modern take on old blocks, the bright colours used to display the designs used. The reading is interesting and informative and I generally get great ideas for my own quilting journey.

beautiful magazine with excellent articles and easy to follow patterns to make amazing quilts.
The whole team does a fantastic job and the magazine often has very good competitions.
an app would be excellent to keep all copies in one place but this still works well enough.

Love the inspiration and explanations offered in this magazine! As someone who’s looking to move beyond beginner quilts, the great detail but often simple instructions are a godsend for me. Plus the amazing designs and maker stories offer such insight that my “to make list” is growing with each edition. I don’t get to lessons very often, so this... is such a fabulous ongoing resource for me, with lots of “ah, so that’s how you do it!” moments while reading. Keep it coming team...read more
