Quilt Festival

Kaye Wood

Join Simply Quilts as we journey to the International Quilt Festival in Houston to meet quilters who create six-hour quilts for needy children. At the love quilt booth, TV personality Kaye Wood organizes an effort to capitalize on quilters’ goodwill. Realizing that there were a number of quilts being created for charity, Wood came up with the idea of the six-hour quilts to provide blankets for children.

This easy technique has allowed volunteers to make over 1,000 quilts in the past six years. Both sides of the reversible quilts are finished at the same time. Volunteers of all ages can sit and sew for as long as they like with donated materials as they try to achieve their goal of 60 quilts which will go to a local homeless shelter. The volunteers are rewarded with love quilt pins and the feeling of satisfaction knowing they helped to provide some comfort to a needy child.
