Ronda McAllen is the State Compliance Officer for American Homestar Corpo­ration in League City, Texas. She is also pursuing her certification as a profes­sional genealogist from the Board for Certification of Genealogists. She majored in Photojournalism at the University of Houston. Her love of sewing began early in her life when her grandmother, Pearl Harrell, taught her to sew Barbie clothes. Ronda learned quilting in 1989 when her husband, David, asked her to make quilt from t-shirts he collected at concerts and lOK runs. Quilting and studying quilt history quickly became her passions. McAllen lives in Pearland, Texas, with David and her daughter, Salome.

​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 2006, Volume 27, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/34/.
