KAYE WOOD
Kaye Wood, Inc.
www.kayewood.com and www.kayewoodtv.com
Kaye Wood has taught quilting for over 40 years and is still going strong. She began teaching the machine arts, such as free motion embroidery, in 1973; then the quilting bug hit her in 1977, when a student asked if they could do some of that “quilting stuff.” She now teaches her original techniques internationally through classes and lectures, her books and patterns, through her PBS series Kaye’s Quilting Friends, and her video Web site, www.kayewoodTV.com. Her quilting shows are also broadcast on several local independent channels. Kaye describes herself as a “quilt engineer.” Her main quilting interest is to simplify the quiltmaking process which results in easier and more accurate techniques so her students can have an easier time making quilts. She breaks a lot of the “rules” with her original piecing tips. Quilting cruises are one of Kaye’s passions. She has taken quilters on 25 cruises. She also is well known for her charity quilt project, The LoveQuilt Connection, which is presented at consumer shows around the country. Quilts made during these shows are donated to charities.
