By: Patterson, Naida Treadway

Naida Treadway Patterson was born and raised in Kentucky. Trained in both English and biology, she has a M.A.L.S. degree with ma­jors in medical librarianship and school libraries. She worked in both areas prior to her retirement in 1989. She designs and makes jewelry using the lost-wax method. She has always loved research, and her current project has led her to try her hand at applique.

​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/.
