I’ve been trying my hand at trapunto. I need to put sleeves on the back so I can hang them and shoot proper pics.

Wow! The Victim is devastating and wonderful. It’s beautifully written and the acting was fantastic. It’s a really powerful and moving play. My husband and I were both blown away. If you can get to Lenox, MA go see it. It’s at Shakespeare &co until July 20th.

Good News Waits Till Morning, Phillip Schwartz, Quilt, Repurposed Damaged Quilts, 84”x72”, 2025

I just made this. I was given two antique quilts which were damaged and stained beyond repair. The figures are cut from one and appliquéd to the other.

[SPECIAL EDITION] Holocaust Artist’s Hudson, N.Y., Exhibition Another Casualty of War open.substack.com/pub/rogovoyr...

This happened a while ago but I recently ran into Tambra Dillon on the street and was reminded of how badly I was treated by her and Hudson Hall's board and staff.
[SPECIAL EDITION] Holocaust Artist’s Hudson, N.Y., Exhibition Another Casualty of War
Phillip Schwartz's Holocaust-themed artworks were to be shown at Hudson Hall. Schwartz withdrew his participation after the venue chose to add a "Muslim perspective" to the Holocaust exhibition.

I just finished this lap quilt. The pattern is tumbling blocks, I saw one at the New England Quilt Museum. The one I saw was from 1802 and was very fancy. This one is made from old cut up shirts and gifted scraps. I’m doing a larger one with a figure on it. This one was a practice run. #quiltsky

I finished this bedspread sized quilt yesterday. The colorful band that winds its way around the quilt is made from pieces of old shirts of my husband’s and mine which makes it a somewhat sentimental record of our relationship. #quiltsky #quilter #newfamilyheirloom

At the beginning of this year I started documenting all mass shootings that occurred within the United States through fabric. A blue tally for each person injured and a red tally for each person killed as a result of the incident. This is just the first three months of 2024.
