From Math to Masterpieces: Robert Lovell’s Quilted Art | arts IN focus | PBS FW

What happens when a lifelong math teacher discovers the beauty of quilting? For Robert Lovell, the result is art with both heart and geometry. In this episode of Arts IN Focus, we meet Robert “Bob” Lovell, a retired high school math teacher who found an unexpected creative outlet in the world of quilting. Bob’s work blends his passion for mathematics with the artistry of fabric, using patterns inspired by Pythagoras’ theorem and other mathematical concepts to create stunning quilt designs. After bringing quilts into his classroom to help students visualize geometry, Bob fell in love with the craft. Now in retirement, he continues to design and sew quilts that combine mathematical precision with vibrant artistic expression. 📍 Arts IN Focus is a PBS Fort Wayne series highlighting local and regional artists, exploring their creative journeys and the impact of art on the community.
