Her interest in quilt history arose from working at the National Museum of American History Smithsonian Institution (Textiles Collection). Her earlier studies were at the Univer­sity of Wisconsin with a B.A. in Sociology and a M.Sc. in Education. She has lived and worked in Canada and India and currently resides near Washington, DC.

​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 2004, Volume 25, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/36/.
