If you aren't a quilter probably won't know her. She was a quilting teacher for many years. Had shows on PBS. I'm sorry to say she passed away last night. From a heart attack. I always like watching her shows. She had a straight easy way of explaining things especially to me a the time a new quilter. May she rest in peace with lots of quilts.

I'm not much of a quilter, but I always enjoyed chatting with her at Sew Expo.

What sad news. I always enjoyed her TV show on PBS.

I'm sorry to hear this. I am not a quilter but when I bought my serger I attended a class where we learned to make Kaye Wood's 6-hour quilt. I've made about 15 quilts over the years. They've brought lots of love and comfort!

I always enjoyed watching her. She had a homey style that was clear and patient. May she rest in peace surrounded by exquisite quilts.

Oh my ! I enjoyed watching her show way before I was ever even interested in making a quilt. Loved the way she explained things. My sympathies to her family. RIP

So sad to hear this - never had a chance to take a class from her or to see her show on PBS. However her 6 hour serger quilt tutorial has inspired me to use up a lot of scraps and make quilts to donate to the childrens' hospital, the homeless shelter or for the fire service.

We've lost another sewing soul.

For thosewho are unfamiliar with Kaye, here's one of her videos from YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiLWm5jkAJ0

Not a quilter but really respected her gentle nature in teaching.
