The Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society is a statewide organization of quilt lovers, quilt makers and quilt collectors who are committed to promoting the understanding, appreciation and knowledge of the art and craft of quilt making. We support the collection and preservation of Kentucky quilts and the records of Kentucky quiltmakers and their work.

We offer several educational workshops and contests to our more than 450 members each year, and schedule quilt registry events throughout the state to preserve quilt history. Our annual meeting and Getaway event features a national or internationally renowned quilting instructor each year and draws about 150 quilters for three (3) days of quilting workshops and activities.  

Kentucky’s very popular Quilter’s Day Out was founded by the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society and we continue to support those events around the state as well.

Internationally renowned master quilter and creator Ricky Tims will present his 2-day Quilt Luminarium symposium on Friday, June 20th and Saturday, June 21st.  Quilt Luminarium is a comprehensive symposium that demystifies seemingly complex concepts, teaches mastery of unique and unconventional techniques and helps you harness your creativity!  Luminarium will expand your quilting toolbox and is truly for all quilters from beginner to advanced, from traditional to contemporary, and from modern to art. 

 

No Supply lists!  No Sit and Sew and NO UFOs!

Learn, Laugh, Be Inspired!!

For those who think a two-day symposium might somehow be slow, boring and tiresome, rest assured. The unique format and pacing of the sessions cause the time to fly by! Ricky’s ability to educate, entertain and inspire has been witnessed by thousands around the world, and now you can experience his mastery in person, right here in Central Kentucky!

 

KHQS is pleased to offer this incredible learning experience for $150 for the two-day seminar PLUS a bound lesson book and unlimited access to Ricky’s Quilt Luminarium instructional videos to continue learning at home!
