Making Critical Connections in Quilt Scholarship

Elsley, Judy
United States
From Uncoverings 1995, Volume 16 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
Judy Eisley is an associate professor of English at Weber State Uni­versity in Ogden, Utah. Her Ph.D. dissertation explored quilts as speaking texts, and most of her writing about quilts has focused on quilts in literature. She co-edited Quilt Culture: Tracing the Pattern, published by the University of Missouri Press in 1994, a book of academic essays about quilt-as-metaphor.

​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 1995, Volume 16, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/12/.
