Gagnon, Blaire O.
United States
From Uncoverings 2003, Volume 24 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
Blaire O. Gagnon taught herself to quilt after her daughter was born and soon opened a quilt shop in Salem, Connecticut. After her family moved to Rhode Is­land, she returned to college and earned a master's degree in textiles, fashion mer­chandising, and design at the University of Rhode Island, completing her thesis on Egyptian appliques in 2002. She is now working on a doctorate in cultural anthropology at the University of Connecticut, focusing on cross-cultural impacts on textile development and marketing.

​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 2003, Volume 24, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/37/.
