Stitches in Time: The Development of Sewing Thread in the Nineteenth Century and Beyond

1998
Yearous, Jenny
United States
From Uncoverings 1998, Volume 19 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
Jenny Yearous completed her first M.A. degree in anthropology and worked for ten years as an archaeologist. She earned her second M.A. in Museum Studies at the University of Nebraska and served as the first collections manager at the International Quilt Study Center. She is now curator of collections management at the State Historical Society of North Dakota. She is interested in helping small museums care for their textile collections.

​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 1998, Volume 19, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/44/.
