Artistic Creation: Amish Quilts and Abstract Art

From Uncoverings 2005, Volume 26 of the Research Papers of the American Quilt Study Group
Heather Cadogan has a background in Medical Technology and became inter­ested in quilts and quiltmaking approximately eight years ago. She is currently pursuing a Masters degree in Liberal Studies at the University of Delaware. As part of this program, she began researching Amish quilts in the context of twentieth century art and is interested in quilts as creative expressions of women and how they fit into the broader scope of art history.

​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 2005, Volume 26, at this link, https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/aqsg-uncoverings/35/.
