Warmth for Cold Spells
December 12 – January 3, 2026, at Rose and Eugene Presents
Artist Reception: Friday, December 12, 5–8pm
When the Midwest winter settles in, the world slows to a quiet hum. Warmth for Cold Spells offers comfort in that stillness, with quilts and fiber pieces that blend medieval symbolism, rural craft, and the raw beauty of the natural world.
In Tenley Schwartz’s hands, fabric becomes story—fish swim through rings of lavender, saints rise from stitched fields, and pattern gives form to memory. Each work holds warmth and patience, revealing the tenderness that lives beneath a rugged landscape.
These pieces invite us to pause, to notice the color and care sewn into every seam, and to find light in the long season ahead.
