Judy Eisley was born and raised in England. She is a professor of En­glish at Weber State University in Utah. She co-edited a book of aca­demic essays about quilting, Quilt Culture: Tracing the Pattern (Univer­sity of Missouri Press, 1994). Her revised Ph.D. dissertation, Quilts as Text(ile)s was published by Peter Lang Press (1996) and a book of per­sonal essays, Getting Comfortable: A Woman in the West, was published by Jumping Cholla Press (1997).

​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 2002, Volume 23, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/38/.
