Ruby Short McKim: The Formative Years

1996
Filo, Jill Sutton
United States
From Uncoverings 1996, Volume 17 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
Jill Sutton Filo earned her B.F.A. at Kent State University and works as a free-lance artist in Akron, Ohio. She specializes in graphics, commissioned stained glass, and in the design and creation of quilts. Her interest in collecting antique quilts and related ephemera led to historical research focusing on the quilt designers and authors of the early twentieth century. She calls this period the McKim era!

​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 1996, Volume 17, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/11/.
