Sarah Rose Dangelas grew up in New Hampshire and earned her bachelor's degree in art history at Boston's Northeastern University, where she found time to make two quilts, which began her interest in quilt history. Sarah is currently a Ph.D. student in the American Studies program at the University of Maryland. She lives on Block Island, Rhode Island, where she is working on her dissertation. She is interested in historic preservation and the presentation of women's history at his­toric sites.

​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 2003, Volume 24, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/37/.
