She organized the exhibition Contemporary Broderie Perse, shown at the New England Quilt Museum and the National Quilt Museum, in 2010.

​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 2010, Volume 31, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/30/.
