It's time to say farewell to summer. What a bittersweet feeling! There is so much excitement and beauty in the fall, but the calm and relaxed days of summer are always special. The end of summer means we're also wrapping up our Summer Haze Tips and Tricks blog series, and soon you'll have a beautiful quilt to remind you of those last warm days of the year.
Hi Summer Haze friends! Laura here, back again with Part II of our Summer Haze Tips & Tricks blog series. I don't know about you, but I'm definitely starting to feel that hazy end-of-summer vibe. The sun is setting earlier, mornings are getting cooler, and pretty soon the leaves will start changing.
Hey, Suzy Quilts fans, Laura here! You may remember me as the guest host of the Voyage Quilt Sew Along or from my other blog posts on the Suzy Quilts website. I'm the Managing Editor and Communications Director here at SQ, and I'm excited to be back to share our best tips and tricks for making the revamped and renamed Summer Haze quilt pattern!
With so many children's books available these days, it can be hard to know the perfect book to get for your favorite quilting family. Sharing our love of quilts with younger generations is so important. And before you can sit a child in front of a sewing machine and teach them to quilt, you can read them books about quilts.
Can you believe our voyage is almost over? It's Week 7 of the Voyage Quilt Sew Along, and it's our last week together! By next week, you'll have a beautiful, completed Voyage quilt top.

Welcome to Week 4 of the Voyage Quilt Sew Along! This week is all about a block that may feel new and intimidating to many quilters who have joined us on this journey. We’re talking all about half rectangle triangles!
Before we dive into this week’s best tips and tricks for making easy and accurate HRTs, I want to cheer you on!
It’s Week 3 of the Voyage Quilt Sew Along! And that means we’re starting to work on the block that forms most of your quilt - half square triangles. We’ll be making as many HSTs as possible this week, but don’t worry if you don’t make all 296 required for the Voyage quilt.
