By: Cord, Xenia E.

Xenia E. Cord has degrees in history and English and in folklore and American studies. She is a lecturer in folklore at Indiana University. She owns Legacy Quilts, an antique quilts brokerage, and partners with Annette Baker to produce Quilt America, an annual event in In­dianapolis since 1990. Xenia considers herself a "closet quiltmaker," while her efforts as quilt historian/research/writer have appeared regularly in quilt publications.

​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 2000, Volume 21, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/40/.
