From Uncoverings 1998, Volume 19 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
Heather Lenz holds a B.A. in art history and a B.F.A. in sculpture from the Honors College at Kent State University in Ohio. Her work has been exhibited at galleries in Ohio and New York City, and the Interview Game, her spoof on the critic-artist dialogue, is sold at museum shops across the country. Heather has received grants and scholarships to support her work in quilt research, art, and filmmaking.

​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/.
