1998

By: Barron, Tracy W.

Tracy Barron grew up in Virginia, but now calls Massachusetts her home. She earned her B.A. in English and has a Master of Arts in Teaching. When she resumed her teaching career after taking time out to raise four children, she discovered quilt history. This led to a commitment to combine her love of quilts and English in her scholarly work. Tracy has previously published "Quilting Imagery in the Writings of Rachel Field" in Uncoverings 1996.

​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 1998, Volume 19, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/44/.
