Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society Annual Meeting
and GETAWAY 2015
On June 17-19, 2015, KHQS Annual Meeting and Getaway will once again convene in Cave City, KY.
Our meetings, classes and meals will all be located in the Cave City Convention Center. Our lodging will
be less than a quarter mile away. All facilities are handicapped accessible and have adequate parking.
Some of you will be able to unload at side doors directly into your first classroom.
Registration will begin at 8 am on Wednesday at the Convention Center and will be open until 5 pm.
QAK (Quilt Artists of Kentucky) will offer two half-day classes, the first at 9 am and the second at 1 pm.
Lunch will be served at noon. There will also be 3 other classes offered on Wednesday beginning at 1
pm. Sit & Sew is available as a half-day or all-day opportunity. QAK will hold their annual meeting at
4:15 pm. Dinner will be served at 6 pm followed by our Annual Meeting and a lecture entitled “Quilts of
Illusion” by our featured teacher Karen Combs. Registration resumes on Thursday and Friday mornings
at 8 am. Classes will begin at 8:30 am and end at 4 pm with a break from 11:30am to 1 pm for lunch and
activities. KHAS (Kentucky Heritage Applique Society) will hold their annual meeting on Thursday at
4:15 p.m. Thursday classes will be followed by dinner at 6 pm and a meeting at 7 pm that will include
Show & Tell. Friday classes will hopefully be followed by safe trips home for all.
Challenge quilts, block contests, raffles, games, fund-raising, door prizes and who knows what else will
fill out a good time! And back by popular demand, Becky Hill of the Sterling Thimble Quilt Shop will be
vending once again. Be sure to call her for the supplies on your class list. She will bring them with her
and have them ready for pickup when you arrive in Cave City. No running around searching for supplies!
Members are again responsible for making your own reservations for lodging. Those who attended last
year’s Getaway seemed very pleased with the accommodations at Sleep Inn. The 3-story building has all
inside room entrances and an elevator. We are guaranteed a room rate of $92 per night (including taxes,
$102.62). For those who are looking for a real bargain, next door to Sleep Inn is Super 8 Motel. They
have newly remodeled rooms and have offered us a guaranteed rate of $65 per night, which includes taxes. These rooms are outside access and there is no elevator. Request a lower level room if this is important to you. Sleep Inn is a bit more ‘plush’; but both motels seem to be very clean, well maintained
and both offer breakfast. Please see details on pages 40-41.
The class descriptions include a supply list and skill level to help in the decision-making of which classes
to take. If you have questions about either or want more information about the class, feel free to contact
the teacher of that class. (Contact information is in the Teacher Profile). Workshops range from traditional machine piecing to hand appliqué and embellishment to fabric dyeing and more. There’s bound to
be something that catches your eye! Classes will be filled on a first come/first-served basis. Your confirmation packet will contain your class confirmations, full supply lists and schedule of events. Confirmations may be sent by email or standard mail. Please indicate which you prefer and enclose a selfaddressed stamped ($.70) envelope with your registration if you choose a mailed packet.
ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS AFTER May 8, 2015

KHQS wants to welcome you to Cave City, KY
and the Cave City Convention Center
Cave City, KY is a unique little town. From the Cave City Convention Center, one only has to
travel a half mile to be in sight of at least 6 motels and chain restaurants including KFC, Wendy’s, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Long John Silvers/A &W Root Beer, and Cracker Barrel. Nearby
are all sorts of tourist attractions including Guntown Mountain, a wildlife museum, an alpine
slide and two ziplines (I dare you!) and, of course, Mammoth Cave National Park. Turn the
other direction when leaving the Convention Center, and you are in the center of downtown
Cave City, a mecca of antique shops and sprinkled with small individual-owned cafes and restaurants. Cave City is small, but packed full of things to do. Consider coming early or staying
an extra day to take in some of the local sights!

Half Day-PM
Coloring with Colored
Pencils and Ink Dyeing
NonSewing
Debbie Poole, Teacher
Skill Level—Beginner
In this class, students will try two different techniques for adding color to your fabric or
quilt. First, we will color a quilt piece with colored pencils. These techniques are taken
from Irena Bluhm and Sherry Rogers-Harrison’s books and videos. There are so many
variations using colored pencils that we will have a hands-on class so you can decide
your favorite. Second, we will play with ink/water to dye pieces of fabric. I like this
technique because you get a very vibrant color that will not wash out. This is also hands
-on so you can play and decide what you’d like to use in your art quilts.
Supply List
Coloring with Colored Pencils:
Colored Pencils (Crayola)
Derwent Inktense pencils
Paintbrush, flat, size 4-6
Pilot Precise V7RT black pen (Office supply)

A sample will be made in class so you can learn this technique, and it can later be made
into a small wallhanging.
Supply List
An inexpensive kit will be available for purchase that will contain the pattern, stabilizer,
and leather needle that you will use to create your sample.
Fabric: A small piece of fabric ( 8" X 10") for your background
Two small pieces of fabric ( 8" X 10") from which to cut your 3-dimensional pieces--in

Dyeing to Quilt

stitch techniques, as well as overdyeing fabrics. Indigo is safe, nontoxic, natural, and
faster than chemical dyes. Participants will leave class with several pieces of dyed fabric suitable for use in quilts, pillows, clothing. The example pictured is a quilt made
with all Shibori dyed fabrics that is intended to give an idea of the possibilities that can
be achieved with an indigo dye vat. We will not be making a quilt, just dyeing fabric for
use in quilts.

Donna Duncan, Teacher
Skill Level—All Skill Levels
Is there a stack of old blue jeans on your closet shelf that needs to go but you just can’t
bring yourself to pitch them? (You might be that size again, someday – yeah, right!)
Bring those jeans and some squares from your stash, and make this ultimate scrap project – a Cathedral-Window-Meets-Rag-Quilt. And, then, if you ever can wear those
size 10’s again, treat yourself to new jeans! The class project will be a sixteen-patch,
suitable as a small wallhanging or table mat. Or, once you get home, you may use it to
make a tactile pillow or incorporate it into a totebag, or enlarge on your project and
make a lap quilt . Pretty much anything goes! Made of lightweight denim, it will have
a cuddly, almost-pampered feel; if you use heavyweight denim, you’ll have a nononsense, sturdy piece. Once you start, you’ll be gathering up jeans from your family’s
closets.

Mary has been sewing since she was 10 years old and after a career hiatus started sewing in earnest when she retired in 1999. Mary spent the first few years filling the closets
of her 4 granddaughters but when she learned to quilt in 2003, all other sewing projects
took a back seat. After winning “Best of Show” in 2006 at the Kentucky State Fair, she
was encouraged to start teaching. Since then teaching has become a major focus in her
life and she really enjoys being able to give the gift of quilting to others. Mary says she
has been fortunate enough to exhibit her quilts locally and at Berea, Knoxville, Grand
Rapids, Paducah, Bloomington, Columbus, Charlotte and Houston. She has received
awards from IHQS, AQS, KHQS & IQA and recently won a 1st place in Grand Rapids
and 3rd place ribbons in Phoenix, Charlotte and Houston. Mary loves all phases of the
quilt-making process and says she has to admit she loves all types of quilts – rendering
her “style-less”.
Lynette Brown

[email protected]
Lynette Brown took up quilting about a year before retiring from her work as a school
psychologist in the public school. Quilting is a tradition in her family but served mainly to produce warm bed quilts. Lynette had made baby quilts and a few bed quilts for
her daughters but it wasn't until she saw some art quilts at a quilt show that she became
interested in pursuing a less traditional form of quilting. Her interest in fabric dyeing
evolved after seeing the wonderful patterns and textures that could be created through
dyeing. Lynette was thrilled to take a class in natural dyes with Elin Noble where she
was introduced to the amazing process of indigo vat dyeing. Now she works primarily
with her own hand dyes to create her art quilts. Lynette says this provides two sources of
gratification - one from creating the fabric and the other from creating the actual quilt!

Roxanne never wanted to quilt. She was happy being a biologist. Animals, research, students: things were good. Then she saw the art quilts at the Paducah Quilt show and was
hooked. Fifteen years later and Roxanne is now all about color, design and overall
WOW factor. She had a quilt juried into the Houston IQA and the AQS Paducah shows
in 2014 and is presently waiting to hear if her submission to Paducah will be accepted.
She is an active member of QAK and has had quilts in their shows, including the Susan
Koman Breast Cancer Awareness exhibit, in addition to the AQS shows in Nashville,
Knoxville and Grand Rapids and the National Quilt Show in Cincinnati.

Vicky was inspired by her great aunt who taught her to hand embroider as a teenager
and later taught her to hand piece her first quilt top, Tumbling Blocks, in 1980. After
many years of craft sewing, hand embroidery was still her passion until she discovered
and purchased her first sewing and embroidery machine in 1995. In 1997, Vicky started
working full time for the local sewing center. In 1998, she fell in love with foundation

piecing and in 1999 she helped start an area quilt guild. Vicky has been an Event Coordinator since 2003 as well as teaching weekly quilting, sewing and embroidery classes
to individuals and groups. She donates her time teaching quilting and embroidery
classes at the Project Linus National Convention each year since 2007. Since the purchase of her long arm quilter, Vicky no longer lives by the motto "Once the top is done,

When I was 9 years old my mother bought me an embroidery kit. That was the beginning of my crafty-sewing-quilting journey. I've sewn clothes, costumes, curtains, pillows
and quilts. I even worked in a ceramic shop! My first quilt class was when I was 21. After dabbling in all areas of crafts - embroidery, cross stitch, tole painting, knitting and
crocheting - I loved making quilts. I started with making traditional quilts by hand piecing and hand quilting. I usually have 5-6 projects going at once. Most of my quilts now
are machine pieced and longarm quilted - but I always have a handwork project going
too. Since joining KHQS and QAK and attending Getaway, I really like making the
challenge quilts. Near and dear to me is making charity quilts. I am the Charity Projects
coordinator for the Central KY Quilt Guild in Frankfort and a member of the Anderson
County Piecemakers. We make and donate quilts to Quilts for Kids (at UK Children's
Hospital), Social Services, and the Women's Shelter.

Linda Sanford

[email protected]
Linda Sanford is a self-professed fabraholic! She enjoys quilting- piecing, appliqué, paper piecing, machine quilting, and quilted crafts. She uses quilt patterns as inspiration to
design quilts, but has never made a quilt directly by a pattern. She always feels the need
to add a little or a lot of her own design into the quilt. Her goal is to learn a new technique, shortcut or design element in every quilt she makes. Linda enjoys helping others
learn how to quilt and improve their quilting skills. She has sewn since she was old
enough to hold a needle, and started hand quilting at age 12. At 19, she made a baby
quilt for her first child, hand pieced and hand quilted. When Linda retired in 2005, she
started quilting again, this time piecing by machine. She began machine quilting in
2006. Linda is currently a member of Centenary United Methodist quilt group, Kentucky Cover Lovers Guild (President), Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society, and American
Quilters Society. In 2014, she won Best of Show and Best Machine Quilting at the
Kentucky State Fair with her quilt Star Burst.
