🧵🌸LET'S TALK ABOUT TEXTILE HISTORY with Jo Andrews of Haptic and Hue - Karen's Quilt Circle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 жов 2022
- Every quilt from the past has a unique story about the quilters of the past, and the history of the textiles they used. When I discovered the podcast, Haptic and Hue, it furthered my curiosity. Jo Andrews of Haptic and Hue is a weaver and a journalist, and she’s incredible at finding the most fascinating stories of cloth. From the fashion houses of Europe to the battlefields of the American civil war, Jo shows us how textiles have impacted our world and importantly, the lives of the makers behind them.

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.
It wasn't long enough for me to finish handstitching my binding😊
Thank you so much, Karen, for the wonderful interview! Your choice of guests is perfect as usual. And I'm so grateful to you for discovering such a fantastic story teller as Jo Andrews.
Show me the rabbit hole and I'll follow
Loved every minute of it and now I have another podcast to add to my list
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.
Totally LOVED this interview. I realized it was longer but was loving every minute such that I hated it to end. What an interesting and knowledgeable woman! 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.
Please don’t apologize for a lengthy video , the information shared is absolutely priceless, I love to learn, I love history,and appreciate that you and others take the time to share this knowledge to us. Have a great day n thank you for what you do 🤗
"When I weave something for someone, I give them a piece of love"
"Textiles and humans are clamped together"
Brilliant episode. Thank you.
Thank you so much for finding these amazing women, and giving us glimpses into their lives and the wonderful world of textiles. Brilliant!
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.
“Radio has the best pictures” - what a delightful reminder of the power of words! Jo is a wonderful wealth of information, craftily woven into interesting podcasts. Thank you for bringing her to your channel!
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.
My Dad was a test pilot in WWII and in the 1950’s we used his old orange silk paraxhute to skate very very fast on the local lake in winter! Im in love wuth the history of textiles.
I discovered Jo Andrews podcast just recently and it was so informative on all the quilts and other items that were made by Canadians for the Red Cross to be sent over seas during the war. I got choked up listening to all the information that i never heard about before. Karen you have such wonderful guests.
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.
When I was making masks, I got pretty sick of making them until it was for my boyfriend. I get excited when I make things for him or another family member. It’s true that we put a part of ourselves and love into what we make for others
Radio has the best pictures, what a wonderful thing to ponder.
Oh, I am so, so happy you interviewed Jo Andrews. I stumbled upon her podcast a few months ago and have been devouring episodes ever since. Her skill as a storyteller is remarkable and I can sit and knit, or crochet, or hand sew, and just listen and learn and be inspired. This interview has me keen to read those books you all recommended too! Thank you Karen and Jo! Another great inspiring episode!
We are both in her fan club
Karen amazing interview. Keep up the good work. You enrich our lives.
This episode is absolutely enthralling!
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!
Wow, Wow!! Jo Andrews is a wealth of information. My sentiments exactly, I could listen to her textile stories and more for a long time. Very interesting. Thank you Karen..
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.
Cathy Hay was on the show too. I agree with you. The trip down colonialism was eye opening and that shift in view was a big one
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts I went and checked out the interview and realized that that's how I found you!
Today’s interview was extremely enriching 🌹
Thank you for a fascinating interview and for informing me of another rabbit hole to investigate- another few books to add to my reading list!
I absolutely loved this episode. Thank you so much for your videos and the fascinating information.
FASCINATING!!! So fascinating Karen and Jo. I learn so much from your channel Karen and I love these interviews. I love your statement about how the good gets taken away with the bad. Please keep these wonderful interviews coming. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
My mom and grandmother made those crazy quilts. When I look closely, I can see our dresses, mom’s dresses. All leftovers from her making our clothes
Wonderful episode , I could have listened to Jo all day , now going to find the podcasts😊
Wonderful interview, thank you Karen
🎉Fascinating! Thank you for sharing!
Love this video-it may be your best interview yet! This interview made me want to sit down with both of you over coffee to continue the conversation! 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.
Really Cool Background, Karen. Very Interesting. ❤️🥰❤️ Chris
Very enjoyable and educational interview! Thank you Karen. Don’t know if you realize it or not but by the end of most of your interviews those individuals have become smiling, relaxed friends. :)
I love all of your interviews but this might be the best yet.
Jo and the textile history that she shared was fascinating. I binged a whole season of Haptic and Hue this weekend, and have passed along your interview and this podcast to multiple friends.
It’s so binge worthy…and repeat listening
So many of your interviews I finish by thinking "what a great subject!" This one was fascinating and I found the books she mentioned in our library, and ordered them right away! I do have Cassia's book too but haven't read it yet.
FABULOUS episode! I am hooked on textile history too!! I would love to tour as many textile museums and such as possible. What a fascinating journey that would be! Keep these coming
Thank you Karen for sharing with us. This has been the most fascinating interview so far. Lots and lots of information, some new for me. I don’t mind long interviews because you can dive deeper into the subject you are talking about.
What a fascinating interview! Just loved it!!!
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. 👏👏👏
Thank you
Such a fascinating guest I can’t wait to listen to her podcast. Great interview and it’s nice to learn more history about what we love … fabric.
Thank you for this great interview. I enjoyed every minute of it. There was so much passion in the discussion. I especially appreciated that you both recommended books that inspired you. If you have more interesting readings to propose, I would be grateful for information about every aspects of textiles.
Oh, this episode was so good it made my brain itch! (In a good way.) Me, I’m currently down a rabbit hole of ‘30s prints and feed sacks. Please stop distracting me with your interesting African/Dutch/British wax cloths and emotional Canadian Red Cross quilts!!!!!!!🤩🤯😂 SUCH an infectious disease, this textile love.
Textile love 💕
Thank you! I remember when you suggested Haptic and Hue previously. It is one of my favorite podcasts now. I thoroughly enjoy all of your UA-cam videos!
Another wonderful interview! Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful, fun and interesting people and topics!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating interview !!
Can you imagine the moment of inspiration going from twisting grasses to noticing the fiber in the grass to pulling it apart and twisting it into the first rough linen. My mind can easily jump to thread with wool but linen is exciting.
Enjoyed this video so much about textiles! Fantastic and fascinating. Thank you.
78.000 years: that gave me goose-bumps. What an inspiring talk! Thank you!
Loved every minute of this! Subscribed to Jo’s podcast! Thank you for another great video!🥰
That was amazing! Thank you! And I was so happy it was long. I could have listened for a lot longer. I will go to Jo’s podcast to hear more.
I should also say that I really enjoy your channel and have learned so much. You are personable, and explain things clearly with good examples. I only recently found you and am busy catching up with all the things I've missed!
I am currently reading The Golden Thread which you mentioned. It is fascinating and consciousness raising!
Loved this one. Have added podcasts to my list.
Omg what an education I have received thank you so much you are so right about radio need to use imagination…my imagination not images on tv that suggest this is what you need to see
You always have such interesting people! I really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this excellent video, all your quilt circle videos are good, but this was one of the best. Such a fascinating topic and Jo was such a wealth of information. Could have been much longer it was such an interesting topic.
Amazing episode. I have listened to many of the interviews you've done and I think this is the most fascinating one. It was a good idea to record interviews.
This was an incredible interview. Now I must start listening to these podcasts as well. Thank you so very much.
I loved this interview--I will have to try Jo's podcast. Thank you, Karen, for pointing out that the artisans at Mount Vernon's fabric production were enslaved people. Mentioning this fact when the occasion arises will help give us a more balanced narrative of American history
Loved this conversation! Explained why I love love love fabric!
I so enjoy Jo’s podcast & listen to them most evenings as Jo’s voice is relaxing so help me to sleep - most podcasts aren’t restful or half as interesting.

Hello Jennifer
This has been fascinating 👏
Thank you for this interview!
What a wonderful broadcast! Thank you.
Thank you so much for this wonderful interview with Jo Andrews.
Such a wonderful conversation to listen in on. Two knowledgeable and enthusiastic women discussing something I am so interested in. Thank you
A wonderful interview, thank you so much
Amazing interview! Love it - I could have listened for hours. Thank you!
I had to pause this from time to time, just to take in that wonderful sampler quilt hanging behind you. Love it!
Best, Liz
What a blessing to have such incredibly interesting women podcasting with such passionate, well educated and learned guests. I’m so glad the phallocentric viewpoint is being challenged in a healthy and historically accurate way. We are so lucky that a global pandemic allowed us to dive into such incredibly amazing topics.
Hi, I just got to hear this video, what a wealth of information. Love love love it. Great conversations and I look at my fabric in a different way now. Thank you so much.
Angela
What a fantastic interview! So interesting! Thank-you. ❤
What a wonderful interview! Thank you so much to you both. Going to subscribe to the podcast now.
Really enjoyed this interview! Spectacular!
Absolutely wonderful interview!
Fabulous, thank you. I will have to go find Jo's podcast and start listening.
Karen thankyou for your website.I have learned so much and this interview is yet another useful and enjoyable episode.
It’s one of my favourites
Wonderful interview 😲. So interesting. Thanks
Absolutely fabulous! The stories, the images. the lives that are intertwined with textiles is amazing. Thanks to both yourself and Jo for an enthralling video 👏
Both of you teach through utube and I thank both of you for sharing your knowledge 💕
WOW! Wonderful video! I love history, and have always been interested in historic textiles. I thought I was the only one, lol!!!! I will be listening to her podcast! Thank you, Karen!
Please share any great finds
What an interesting conversation, I have been caught by the enthusiasm and knowledge, the variety of topics, the history. Thank you to both of you for a fascinating dialogue, it all came so naturally which made it so interesting. Best wishes from Germany from. Andrea
I want to be Jo Andrews when I grow up.
Historic body coverings include plant and animal coverage, fig leaves and animal skins. Helped humanity survive the elements. Basic textiles.
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 ☺).
Okay…so now I want to take the class
I am from Southern Indiana. I enjoyed this.
Great interview! Thank you for bringing Jo to our attention You guys are in good company when it comes to rabbit holes and textile collecting! I’m willing to bet that most of us are collectors. 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 should of gone to bed half an hour ago, but I need to listen to the rest of this amazing video.
😎
So great! Glad to have a new podcast to enjoy! Thank you
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!
Amazing interview. I have never considered the vast impact of textiles.
Textiles is not just for fashion . I loved waving and how different rugs are made wither hand done or machine made.
Thank you so much Karen, I found this interview so very fascinating, and relatable. My fathers family was very talented with their hands. Like most things this came from necessity. anything they created was filled with love with special touches specifically made for the recipient. I am google-ing Jo Andrews now.
Thanks so much for great program, liked it. Still waiting for 3d part about fabrics in Toronto.
I would like to see another episode. So interesting and want to hear more.
Superb podcast - thank you!!
Awesome info!! Thanks!
Great interview! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I could have listened to the two of you for hours! I need to check out her podcast now.
You don’t know what you have been missing…tell me what you think. I was speaking to an Ottawa Guild last night and saw Liza G…but it wasn’t you 😢
Very enjoyable. Thanks!
sounds fascinating!!!
Really enjoyed this one!
Fascinating!
Karen this is another excellent episode of KQC. I usually enjoy them but this is one is exceptionally good. Thank you.
Loved this episode, very fascinating and interesting. Added the books to my list of books to buy and read!
Thank you so much for this fascinating interview
Glad you enjoyed it! I was fan girling a bit
