From Uncoverings 1997, Volume 18 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
Ruth Rhoades holds a B.S. in Education from Kent State University and a M.S. in Business Administration from Wayne State Univer­sity. She taught math and business at the high school level. Now retired, Ruth focuses on researching old fabrics. She has been presi­dent of three guilds in three different states. She gives programs, teaches workshops, enters quilts in juried shows, and volunteers at quilting events. In 1991, she started the R & R Quilter's Retreat.

​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 1997, Volume 18, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/42/.
