From Uncoverings 1998, Volume 19 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
Dorothy Osler earned a B.Sc. in geology from the University of Newcastle on Tyne and began work in museum curatorship. For twenty-five years she has combined lecturing, teaching, and writ­ing about quilting with work as a freelance editor. Her research focuses on British quiltmaking history and she has published four quilting books including Traditional British Quilts (1994). She served on the British Quilters' Guild Executive Committee as the first Heri­tage Officer from 1983 to 1989.

​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/.
