Tom, If you want the aesthetic of a quill stem the best and safest way to achieve that is to replace the fork with a threaded one, and a threaded headset.
There are other ways to use a quill stem or get a threaded steerer but they all come with cost, difficulty, and various levels of safety concerns. If you truly just want higher bars there are many threadless stems that will get you there. There is another thing to suggest as well. Have you considered trying to trade for a size bigger? A larger frame will put the bars higher relative to the saddle. Ive witnesses a dozen or so swaps like that happen.
