Hello Reader, We shared our big, and sad, news last week that we will wrapping up Make Modern at the end of the year. All good things must come to an end, as they say. But it doesn't mean we'll be finishing out our year quietly. We still have a bunch of inspiration and quilty goodness to share with - plus another four issues still to come! We hit publish on our most recent mag, Issue 69, and we wanted to share what you can find in the 100+ pages in case you're looking for your next read!...
To our dear readers, This isn't our usual newsletter. We wanted to share some news with you directly from the Make Modern team. After more than a decade of sharing quilty inspiration in our pages, Issue 73 (Nov/Dec 2026) will be our final issue. Our team have done lots of talking and planning (and a little crying!) and it's a big decision but we think itβs the right time for us to close this beautiful chapter. That makes this year our final year. But we're not just going to fade out quietly!...
Dear Reader, Hip hip hooray, it's new issue day! Make Modern Issue 69 is here and we are SO excited to share it with you. Over 100 pages full of quilty goodness, ready and waiting! We're joined by Ange Wilson who brings us a gorgeous roundup of book-themed quilt patterns, and Quilt Historian Tara Miller dives deep in her discussion, Modern Before Modern, asking, were the quilters of the 1800s already "modern"? Kicking things off is this gorgeous quilt cover by Kelli Marshall: Rainbow hues...
