United States

From Uncoverings 2002, Volume 23 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group

Connie Nordstrom is a lecturer, writer, teacher, and county fair judge and is past president of the San Juan Quilter's Guild. Her passion for antique quilts and the stories they tell began in childhood. As a quiltmaker and student of Americana, she focuses on studying and reproducing nineteenth-century American quilts. Her work has been featured in "Great American Quilts, 2002" and in a one-woman exhibit "Quilts, a Journey through Time," held at San Juan College, Farmington, New Mexico, in 2001.

​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 2002, Volume 23, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/38/.
