    Morning everyone. Today's video is a touch longer than usual. I could have talked about textiles with Jo for a very long time. I hope you come down the rabbit hole with us. So grab your sewing and your beverage of choice and enjoy.

      A while back on one of your Q & A sessions you had mentioned the Haptic & Hue podcast. I started listening to it then and have loved every episode. When I'd heard that you had interviewed Jo Andrews I was thrilled. Your interview didn't disappoint. I very much enjoy your UA-cam channel and Jo's podcasts. Thanks for all that you do.

I am so thrilled to discover her and will look up more about her. Thank you for taking the extra time and diving into her infinite textile wisdom and sharing her with us.

    Jo’s work is brilliant and so grounding! I can’t count how many dozen times I have listened to all the recordings.
    I listen to her voice when I can’t sleep. She’s so calm and professional. Since I am familiar with all the episodes, hearing them can help me get grounded.

    Weaving is as much a hoarders hobby as quilting and gardening. More fabric, more yarn, more plants, more colors, MORE... Boxes and bins and more than a lifetime can use. It gives us joy and that's the whole reason for all of it.

    This is fascinating! While listening, I am sewing Days for Girls waterproof carry bags made of PUL (Polyurethane Laminate Fabric). Textiles have always interested me and I regret that I did not follow that interest into the textile arts as I wanted to do and was convinced it was a "dead end." I would have loved to have become an anthropologist with a specialty in textiles. So happy some others did so we can learn!

    Your interview with Jo Andrews gave me pause when I realized that the hobby we so enjoy now may have once been a job of enslaved people. We have come a long way to shine a light on abuses of the past. I hope we all can sew with love and joy while respecting those who have gone before us.

Jo’s enthusiasm is contagious, and while I was watching I immediately went to follow her podcast (and I don’t typically listen to podcasts). I enjoy the longer videos and I appreciate the breadth of interviews you have been doing. I hope you have more interviews with Jo going forward. Thank you for the greater content.

    Another wonderful interview Karen. Jo Andrews is such a gifted storyteller, and my favourite listen while sewing. Like you, I now respond when the music begins to play, except I get the chills - knowing there is another hidden story to be revealed, about people and textiles which I hadn’t known before. I learn so much in an hour with Jo, and many episodes continue to haunt my thoughts. Bravo to you both. 👏👏👏

    This was really delightful! This is the kind of history that is interesting to me--how people lived and related. As a student, my history classes consisted of memorizing names and battles and governments. It didn't matter which country or time period, it was all the same! It wasn't until I took ONE World History class in college in which we learned about different cultures through the lens of daily, ordinary life (homes, food, cookware, clothes, etc.) that shifted my perspective. It was a revelation! "Oh, history isn't just about wars!"
    My "gateway" through textiles came through following historical costumer Cathy Hay on YT. She had spent 10 years working on reconstructing the Peacock dress by Worth. Her research on the dress led her down many different avenues and to some dark discoveries about 19th century textile production in England. E.g. British rule made it illegal in India and smashed looms and fingers. Where did the raw materials come from to make the textiles? Who did the embroidery and the beading of the dress? Who was the woman who wore the dress and why was she in India? Her research, like her sewing, was meticulous and just fascinating. She ended up not completing it--oh, the DRAMA that played out about the Peacock dress! It was a whole thing. But if it had not been for her, I would not have gone down that rabbit hole of British colonialism and its effect (to this day!) on India. And all because of a dress.

    • @JustGetitDoneQuilts

Speaking of which, I donated a good size collection of antique postcards about women at spinning wheels to the Leiden Textile research center, As well as a number of work basket magazine from the 1940s through 1960s. It was great to be able to support the TRC. So jealous that you got to go there! 😀 I’m hoping one day you will do a textile tour to the Netherlands!

    I learned to crochet and embroider from my maternal grandmother. Such good memories and skills that I have built on during my lifetime. Quilt patchwork piecing, though, I learned from a book called "The Complete Book of Needlework" by Vera P. Guild. I found it in our bookshelf at home in the 1970s and learned several techniques from it. Modern patchwork, though, I learned on-line from You Tube videos. Donna Jordan had a tutorial to make Christmas Tree shaped napkins and that sucked me into the world of on-line quilting videos that led me to JGIDQ and so many others. I love learning new things and your content is always stellar!

    I live in Wellington and know the night school that Jo is talking about. It was wonderful. Funding - alas - was cut by a right of centre government years ago. Rather than seeing it as an investment in the community, it was not valued. Classes remain available, but the cost is much higher and more out of reach for people who would (and did) benefit so much. But it’s still a great resource, just not as great as it was. So glad she got to learn to weave here (home of the Corriedale ☺).
