Wilson, Kathleen Curtis
United States
From Uncoverings 1994, Volume 15 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
Kathleen Curtis Wilson was curator of textiles at the Historic Crab Orchard Museum, Tazewell, Virginia before becoming the 1994 scholar-in-residence at the Virginia Center for the Humanities and Public Policy in Charlottesville. She studied handweaving at The Cranbrook Schools in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and spent a decade running the Old Abingdon Weaver, Inc. textile mill where she produced textiles with antique looms and equip­ment. She lectures, writes, and curates textile exhibits.

​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/.
