Quilt Ownership and Sentimental Attachments: The Structure of Memory

1997
Cerny, Catherine A. 
United States
From Uncoverings 1997, Volume 18 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
Catherine A. Cerny, Ph.D., did her graduate work at the University of Minnesota. She is currently an assistant professor in apparel de­sign at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. With research interest in women's aesthetics and cultural analysis, she has published several articles on contemporary quiltmaking. She oversaw the documentation of quilt and quiltmaker histories for the Rhode Island Quilt Documentation project and will author a chapter in the Rhode Island book.

​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/.
