Merikay Waldvogel is a full-time researcher, writer, and exhibit curator. She has a M.A. degree in linguistics from the Univer­sity of Michigan. She co-directed the Tennessee state quilt project. She is the author of Soft Covers for Hard Times: Quiltmaking and the Great Depression; co-author, with Bets Ramsey, of The Quilts of Tennessee: Images of Domestic Life Prior to 1930, and co-author, with Barbara Brackman, of Patchwork Souvenirs of the 1933 World's Fair, as well as author of numerous articles. She has served on the AQSG board since 1989.

​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 1994, Volume 15, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/13/.
