Loretta B. Chase has been studying both New England rural development and re­gional quilt history since she moved to New Hampshire from California twenty years ago. She holds a B.A. in Decorative Art from the University of California, Berkeley, and an M.S. in Resource Administration and Management (Community Develop­ment) from the University of New Hampshire. Currently Chase works as a watershed planner to restore and protect the Cocheco River that powered the great nineteenth century cotton printing mills in Dover. She also teaches quilting to women's groups in Belize.

​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 2004, Volume 25, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/36/.
