Quilt Treasures Presents: Cuesta Benberry
Web Portrait: Introduction
Cuesta Benberry has engaged in the study and research of quilt history for nearly fifty years. Her research areas have included myriad quilt history subjects; and many of her seminal studies have encouraged later researchers to investigate those topics further. Since 1975, her investigations have been primarily conducted on African-American quilt history. She has published numerous quilt history essays and research papers, served as a quilt research and history editor, as a consultant for quilt exhibitions and for authors, and has lectured widely in the United States and abroad.
