Carol Williams Gebel has a B.A. in cultural anthropology and an M.A. in library science, both from California universities. She now lives on the East Coast and is on the staff of the North Carolina Supreme Court Library. She has combined her interests to focus on multicultural aspects of quiltmaking.

​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/.
