Brief History of KHQS

In 1981, quilt lovers, quiltmakers and quilt collectors joined together to form the Kentucky Heritage
Quilt Society, the first statewide organization to be concerned with all aspects of quiltmaking
throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

KHQS now has more than 400 members. KHQS also has two affiliate guilds.

The Kentucky Heritage Appliqué Society (KHAS) is devoted to promoting the techniques, appreciation and
preservation of hand and machine appliqué.

The Quilt Artists of Kentucky (QAK) is devoted to promoting innovative quilt making techniques and the quilt as an art form.

We have an annual meeting called Getaway, Quilting Adventures with a nationally known art quilting teacher, 

Spring and Fall Retreats, Quilting Classes, Sit and Sews, and Quilt Registries.  

We have Annual and Monthly contests.
