Pat Crothers is a social/cultural historian who specializes in women and the American West. She conducts research on a variety of quilting topics and is actively involved in her local community.

​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 1993, Volume 14, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/14/.
