Mary Susan Rice and the Missionary Quilt

1998
Barron, Tracy W.
United States
From Uncoverings 1998, Volume 19 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
Tracy Barron grew up in Virginia, but now calls Massachusetts her home. She earned her B.A. in English and has a Master of Arts in Teaching. When she resumed her teaching career after taking time out to raise four children, she discovered quilt history. This led to a commitment to combine her love of quilts and English in her scholarly work. Tracy has previously published "Quilting Imagery in the Writings of Rachel Field" in Uncoverings 1996.

​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 1998, Volume 19, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/44/.
