United States
From Uncoverings 1999, Volume 20 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
Jenna Tedrick Kuttruff, an associate professor in the School of Hu­man Ecology and curator of the Textile and Costume Gallery at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, earned her Ph.D. in textiles and clothing with an archaeology minor. She has worked as a fiber artist with expertise in dyeing, spinning, and weaving and served on the Board of Directors of the Handweavers Guild of America. Her current research focuses on archaeological textile re­mains and on documenting handwoven Acadian textiles.

​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 1999, Volume 20, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/41/.
