Meet "Sir Mandelbear the Perfectly Imperfect" by Katie Fowler

Sir Mandelbear the Perfectly Imperfect was born out of a fascination with fractal geometry. He is named for Benoit Mandelbrot, a famous mathematician. Mandy’s “coat” is made from pieces left over from the quilt in Episode 1807 of The Quilt Show. (Click here to see the original quilt before it was cut up.) Mandelbear’s maker, Katie, isn’t very interested in making things perfect. She is more interested in finding the joy in doing. Therefore, Mandy’s back and leg seams aren’t perfect and he’s a little overstuffed (just like his maker). That said, Katie thinks Sir Mandelbear is perfectly imperfect!

Star Members can watch Katie in Show 1807: Fearless Quilting.

I am an art quilter. That's a dangerous thing to say in the art world. People often respond, "Oh, my great Aunt Whozee made quilts." My pieces are not bed coverings. They are personal and meaningful expressions of who I am and my interpretation of the world around me. My pieces go beyond the literal meaning of the materials. This makes them art.
