Ihr Teppich: Quilts and Fraktur

Cawley, Lucinda R.
United States
From Uncoverings 2004, Volume 25 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
Lucinda Reddington Cawley is a graduate of the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service. A native of Scranton, PA, she has been fascinated by Pennsylvania quilts since she began making and collecting quilts in the late 1970s. In 1997 she co-authored Saved For The People of Pennsylvania: Quilts From The State Museum of Pennsylvania. The research for that publication sparked an interest in Pennsylvania friendship quilts and for the past five years has been focused on quilts inscribed in fractur letters.

​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 2004, Volume 25, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/36/.
