Colleen Hall-Patton has a B.A. and M.A. in Anthropology from UCLA, and a PhD in Sociology from University of Nevada Las Vegas. Both her master's thesis and dissertation are about quilts and quilters. A quilter since 1970 and quilt researcher since the mid 1980s, she has focused on contemporary quilters and quilting from the 1940s forward. She currently teaches women's studies and sociology at UNLV.

​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 2005, Volume 26, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/35/.
