By: Berenson, Kathryn W.

Kathryn W Berenson is a writer, lecturer, and dealer in antique French and pre-1850 American quilts and textiles. Her interest in textiles began as a child and became her prime focus after she discovered the quilted textile treasures of France. She gave up her career as a print and broadcast journalist and as a media relations consultant to become sole proprietor of Kathryn Berenson Quilts, established in 1988.

​When AQSG added Uncoverings articles to the Quilt Index, they omitted all the illustrations, for lack of permissions. Although the articles found in the QI (1980-2010, 2012-2016) lack illustrations, they link to quilts, essays, special collections, and documentation projects across the Quilt Index, introducing them to a wider audience. The permission issues have since been resolved and in 2024, AQSG completed adding all the Uncoverings volumes from 1980-2023 to the Digital Commons@University of Nebraska-Lincoln. They are completely searchable and include all the illustrations. You can find, Uncoverings 1995, Volume 16, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/12/.
