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 Please visit our website, www.khqs.org, to view this brochure in color 4 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! DON’T MISS THE OTHER ACTIVITIES AT GETAWAY THIS YEAR! WHITE ELEPHANT SALE: We are continuing the tradition of the White Elephant Sale by accepting donations from anyone who wants to clean out some of those UFO’s, unused tools, out-of-date material, etc. from their sewing rooms and donate them to KHQS. Just bring your cast-offs to Getaway where they will be sold. All profits will be used to fund future KHQS activities. Why not let your trash be someone else’s treasure!?! Also, don’t forget to bring a few extra $$$ to spend at the sale! QAK ANNUAL MEETING: Every year, Getaway also hosts the QAK annual meeting. This year the meeting is scheduled at 4:15 pm on Wednesday, following 2 half-day QAK classes, as well as 3 other half-day classes. This timing allows for no other conflicts, so that anyone interested in attending QAK’s annual meeting will be able to do so. Check out the class descriptions to see what is being offered this year. All are welcome to sign-up even if you are not a current member of QAK. Our hope is that you will enjoy yourself so much you will join! KHAS ANNUAL MEETING: KHAS also has an annual meeting. This year it is being held on Thursday afternoon at 4:15 pm. The meeting offers time for Show and Tell, exchange of blocks from the “Cookie” Exchange, announcement of winners for the annual KHAS block contest and Quilt Challenge. And, if you are unfamiliar with these challenges, take a few minutes and visit the KHAS table in the main meeting room at Getaway this year. You may just decide that you want to become a member of this group, too!

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.

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.

She has a degree in library science and has worked at many state, city and school libraries before finding her calling as a professional quilting instructor, writer and designer. Her quilts are known for taking a traditional pattern and giving it her own unique "twist." Karen is intrigued with quilts of illusions and has been designing quilts with a 3-D look for several years. Karen is the author of Optical Illusions for Quilters (AQS), Combing Through Your Scraps (AQS), Floral Illusions (AQS), 3 Quilters Celebrate the 4 Seasons (AQS) & 3-D Fun with Pandora’s Box, co-authored with Sharlene Jorgenson of Quilting from the Heartland. Her newest book is Celtic Pieced Illusions (AQS). She has been a fabric designer for over a decade, working with several New York-based fabric houses and now working with Troy's Riverwoods Collections. Karen's work has appeared in the Silver Dollar City Wallhanging Challenge, the Hoffman Challenge and in many magazines such as Quilter's Newsletter Magazine, Traditional Quilter, Traditional Quiltworks, Sew Many Quilts, McCall’s Quilting, and Lady's Circle Patchwork. She was the "Feature Teacher" in the March 1997 issue of Traditional Quiltworks. Nominated for Teacher of the year in 1995, 2000 and in 2005, by Professional Quilter Journal, Karen travels nationwide to teach her techniques and methods. In 2012, Karen was honored to be asked to judge the IQA Quilt show. She has appeared on several TV quilting shows, among them Quilting from the Heartland, Quilt Central, Quilt America and Simply Quilts. Karen now lives in the rolling hills of middle Tennessee with her husband Rick, and their sweet (but willful) Shih Tzu, Benji. Their grown children, Angela and Josh visit when they can! 26 Mary Bauer 502-241-5855 4bauer@bellsouth.net 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 567-455-6043 ljbrown622@icloud.com 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! 27 Donna Duncan 502-845-7150 donnaduncan@twc.com A quiltmaker for over thirty years, Donna enjoys sharing her skills by teaching quiltmaking. Her teaching style incorporates skill, knowledge, encouragement, and a sense of fun and adventure. She served on the KHQS Board of Directors for nineteen years (as Newsletter Editor, President, Treasurer, and Publicity Chairperson), and continues to support KHQS by serving on committees and writing occasional articles for the Newsletter. Each winter, she takes the KHQS Challenge Quilts Traveling Exhibit to area schools and shows and explains the quilts to some two thousand students over a four- or five-week period. Appropriately, she is known by local schoolchildren as “The Quilt Lady.” Roxanne Ferguson 270-247-0424 rjferguson@bellsouth.net 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 Hartley 309-879-2869 (home) 309-368-4305 (cell) vickyhartley731@gmail.com 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 28 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, the quilt is done".

She has also had quilts in the 2009 through 2011 AQS Knoxville Quilt Shows and a quilt in the 2012 Grand Rapids Quilt Show. Judy loves to try new, innovative techniques, especially nature quilts.

Debbie Lewis Poole 502-875-3434 poole181@aol.com 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. Ann Reed 513-752-8184 ohquilter1@aol.com Ann learned to sew as a child. She began to quilt in 1984. She loves traditional, modern and art quilts. She has taught quilting for many years. Ann says her biggest achievement was having a quilt in Quilt National. Karen S. Riggins 859-753-5722 ksrquilter@gmail.com Karen S. Riggins has been quilting, creating fiber art and teaching for over 35 years. 30 She started as a traditional hand piecer and quilter but her interests have evolved into working with many areas of fiber art.

Karen has a studio on the farm that she lives on with her husband and three cats. She gives lectures, and private lessons in her studio.

Linda Sanford 502-330-9524 Lindasquilting@yahoo.com 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.
