Laurann Gilbertson holds a BA in Anthropology and an MS in Textiles and Clothing, both from Iowa State University. Since 1991, she has been Textile Cu­rator at Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum in Decorah, Iowa. The first exhibition she curated at the museum (in 1992) was of Norwegian-American quilts, and the topic has continued to intrigue her. Gilbertson's recent pub­lications include articles in Vesterheim on tapestry artist Nancy Jackson and Norwegian designer Gerhard Munthe and in Piecework on the aprons Evelina Grimes made for her Apron Style Show.
