Nothing like having the attention of a cultural historian for an hour. Honestly, I could have talked with Kassia for hours. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
I was thinking Wow! Wouldn't it be neat to have a book on each color. Here in Colorado, the Mayor of Denver in the 1800s passed a law that the prostitutes all had to wear yellow. Of course, this led to EVERY woman, girl, and infant being swathed in yellow in protest. Excellent guest! Such fun!
@@michellecornum5856 in Germany apparently yellow was the colour worn by prostitutes historically. In the black forest the colour of pom-pom on hats defined whether a woman was "virginal" or married.
I didn’t know about the blue for girls/pink for boys inversion through time : it was fascinating. Thanks Karen for creating such valuable content!
Red for the virgin, Black for married
@@rhonawill7085 That is interesting.
OH MY GOODNESS! This is a wonderful interview. I've been a color junkie all of my life. It has been an integral part of my life since I was a child: coloring in color books, drawing, painting, doing needle-crafts, knitting, crocheting, in fashion, interior design & decoration, beading, quilting & gardening. I studied the meanings of color, it's effects on people & how it can contribute to healing, but Kassia's work 'takes the cake!' :-) Thanks to your interview with her, her books will soon become part of my library. Thank you so much. :-D
Glad you liked it...one colour junkie to another
Karen and Kassia: what a beautiful name😀
That was an absolutely wonderful interview. It really shows that your love of color started as a child in the floral shop; how sweet. I think it’s awesome how your mum would foster the color and craftiness, she led by example🥰 Give the clothes sewing a go, I’m sure it will all come back around.!?!?!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, I found it very interesting. I will have to look into your books
Gods blessings til next time ❤️😀
Pat Sloan is doing a year long quilt along using the 72 colors from her book. I checked it out from the library and grabbed swatches from my stash. My daughter thought the genesis of Isabelline was hysterical. I've made it to the reds and enjoy the histories. Thank you both!
I grew up with 4 older brothers and just never got into the color pink. Fast forward 50+ years and I now work in our local breast care center. Now I see the pink ribbon for Breast Cancer and I see pink as a Warrior color. Funny how things change. Loved the interview!
I still despise toxic, Barbie pink. I'm (so far) a breast cancer survivor but that's done nothing to improve my feelings towards it
I've always loved color. I feel it's part of my heritage; half Swedish, half Italian. I've sewn for years and started quilting twenty years ago. Some might think it's bragging, I can pick out colors. It might take me a year to find fabric for a quilt...it seems like the fabric "talks" to me. I decorate my house with color...it makes me happy. One of my favorite lessons I gave in my women's Bible study,, was a correlation of colors in the Bible.. I'm looking forward to reading her book. Lynne
Lynne - Could you suggest something for me to read re colors in the Bible? Thanks!
@@dhsexton
I'll get the information to you.
I've got alot going on today, tomorrow and Friday I'm skiing.
If I don't have my notes from my lesson, I'll look up the information and get it to you by Sunday night.
One of our favorite useful movie lines to quote is from Middlemarch, where the young wife from a lower rung in society has not only worn the same dress twice (gasp!) but also the dress is a sort of moss green. As only Maggie Smith can do, with a mean little twinkle, she says "Green is tricky". Boy, does that turn out to be true though!
So very true about color language.
Mint green, sea green, teal, peacock blue, periwinkle, navy blue, French blue, Carolina blue, pigeon....
Oh, and cornflower blue. Does corn have flowers?
@@dollymamahealth9770
Hmmm just the tassels on the top?
The color of cornflower is named after the plant of the same name, which produces bright blue flowers. 👍🏻
I had to rewatch this interview. Pat Sloan’s sew a long with this book had made her book sales skyrocket I’m sure. Love the book. Great interview.
I heard of this book because my friend’s book club used it for their monthly book. It sounded so interesting that I purchased it. I looked at it as more of a reference when decorating and painting the house. I am now going to pick it up and do more reading. I really enjoy the short stories of each color, and as Karen said it’s an easy book to pick up to read sections and then put down to read more another day. I am festinated to get The Golden Thread.
Thanks for a great interview!
Thank you! I'm putting her on my reading list. Here in America after WWII part of our agreement with Germany that they give us a dye technology that made a green that set and didn't fade. Many quilts can be found in that era that use a what I call a dark ish mint green. I'm sure it has a name and I'm only giving loose details from memory. It all is so interesting! I believe that bubble gum pink came from that time too. Fun!
Total black as a color you described is very fascinating. I experienced total darkness when my headlamp went out while several hundred feet in a tunnel underground. Nothing is present, no perspective, no sense of direction. Very much like the absence of everything in the paper and face as described.
Both her books on colour and textiles are great!
And nice quilt behind you.
Enjoyed the interview, thank you. I was told ( by my mother) to never mix brown and navy, not to wear red or pink after 50, so glad all those rules do not apply.
A very interesting topic that should invite us all to look deeper into color. Thank you for a new perspective.
What a wonderful interview. She is a great guest. I have a lot of passion about color. Unfortunately my ignorance far outweighs my knowledge.
I studied history in undergrad and was often struck by some of these concepts as well. I have noticed my taste in color and what I think goes with what has changed since I started quilting. I am more open minded now.
Such an interesting interview. Colour history says so much about the values and norms we’ve applied to our world. Very glad it’s not as discriminatory.
Your videos are always inspiring and today’s interview with Kassie St. Clair was absolutely fascinating. Thank you!!!
Karen, this is my favorite interview so far. What a fascinating guest. Now I have to read both of her books! Thanks!
I enjoyed so much this talk, that I bought one of her books. I still have to get the other one. She is so knowledgeable, that is a pleasure to listen to her for hours… thank you, Karen, for such a great interview:)
She now has a great podcast called the Blue Plaque
Thanks, I’ll check it out:)
Fabulous! I have always loved the stories of color so can’t wait to purchase her books. Also, you are a good interviewer. By the way;, I am not a quilter. I am a retired pediatric Physical Therapist but have sewn all my life , mostly garments. I do have a few published little girls ‘dresses but that was a long time ago. Have fun with your new toy!
I have had both books for awhile. And with Covid decided time to read them. The "Color" first, perfect bathroom reading, lol. You Tube and my doggie, Athena keep me company while I quilt daily. I am 73, live out in rural
Middle TN and hibernate out of necessity for my safety so quilting is my passion. Thank you for your tutorials and and interviews and ongoing opportunities to learn.
What a fantastic interview!! I was fascinated! Can’t wait to get both of Kassia’s books. Thanks Karen for bringing us such interesting interviews!
Good interview! Kassia St. Claire is correct, her book topics sound niche but when introduced by her they are fascinating and makes me want to read them. I like her approach to making the stories short.
They are very well written. I have read/listened to them several times
Color +textiles=Quilters Heaven!
Thank you Karen! Appreciate all you do for us !
This was wonderful and I'll be checking into getting her book! When I started painting, I read a lot about the history of paint and artists. So interesting. Their paint colors were very guarded and just to paint professionally you had to belong to a guild. Very interesting subject! Thanks Karen for inviting her to talk!
Great interview! I appreciate the different perspective on color etc and always love a story. 🧵
Wonderful to hear Kassis. Currently making a quilt based on every colour in her book, designed by Pat Sloan. Tricky to buy some exact colours but I refer to the book & create a reference to her stories.
What a fantastic interview, thank you so much for introducing Kassia’ s books to me . I can’t wait to get them. Cheers from Melbourne.
I first listened to this interview when it first came out, and ordered The Secret Lives of Color and The Golden Thread before the interview was over. Fascinating reads! These books will remain in my collection and be reread. Wonderful interview!
thank you. Both books are favourites
The quilt behind you is so interesting. I really enjoyed looking at it.
Excellent interview! Hope you keep doing them.
What a fascinating interview! It's interesting that color has played such an important role in history.
Fascinating. Can’t wait to get the books!!
re: comments near the bottom re: beige... It's funny but: I never even noticed Kassia's beige sweater, beige room, or 'lack' of color - UNTIL I read all the comments near the bottom of this section! I actually had to pause, scroll up...and take a look to see! Gosh! Goes to show...that the subject matter was so extremely interesting for me, and that I was totally focused on the message - which, I think, was the whole point!... and P.S. Karen - actually, I could listen to YOU talk for hours and hours..I find your channel just lovely!!!! Have a great day!
Thank you. I appreciate your comments
I see her jumper as an olive green. Do I have a colour problem?
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts Her WORDS were so well-spoken and here delivery delightful - and, after all, it IS a book/written about color, that there was no lack of communication. We all have a mind's-eye vision and Kassia certainly had us engaged. When I was excitedly describing this interview and what I learned to someone later in the day, I realized what an impact this whole experience had on me. Karen, you are a good interviewer and have found exceptional and varied folks to bring to us. However, this one with Kassia was a prize.
Love the quilt behind you also really enjoy this segmant
Late to the party but I placed both books on order- with an extra copy for my brother in law for his birthday! Fascinating guest. Thank you!
There are so good. I’ve read each three times
Fascinating and two more books on my reading list. Thank you Kassia and Karen.
That was a GREAT interview - fascinating! Thank you!!
Love these interviews. Thanks for showing them!
My mind is blown. I loved this so much. Thank you.
Thank you Karen and Kassia for such an interesting discussion. Such an historic research on colours would have been fascinating. The few things I have learnt is the natural products and discoveries where colours came from such as royal purple and red. Time consuming processes hence the cost in producing. My favourite colour has always been blue and my birthstone blue sapphire, and funnily enough I have quite a large box of blue fabric from clothes and quilts I have made. Must find your books to read Kassia.
The old color combinations sound so interesting! It makes me sad that people's faces drop when she says what she's currently working on. I find fabric and color absolutely fascinating. Recently I came across a video about making red dye from saffron. This was very interesting, I will have to check out her books! Thank you!
I was just reading about the coloured gardens of the 1700's...the stones, statues and shrubbery. Funny how it all changes
I enjoy ALL your videos; this is extra good! You are good together. I have requested them from my library & plan to use them with my 8 & 11 year old granddaughters on Fridays when I homeschool them in all sorts of related arts! Can’t wait! Thanks.
Kassia was a wealth of knowledge!Thanks for finding & sharing her gifts with your followers.
Thank you! Enjoyed this!
Fascinating! I ordered both of her books. Thank you for bringing us to her. I could have listened forever, too.
Fascinating, makes me think about colour in a broader way. Thank you.
Thanks, Karen, for yet another terribly interesting and worthwhile interview subject. Loved it and will buy Kassia’s books, too.
This was a very wonderful and skilled interview. I would be interested in a more detailed textile interview with her. I play your interviews in the car… just fascinating.
Loved this! Thank you for a very informative and skilled interview.
OK, That was fascinating. What a great interview. I'll get those books!
Fascinating, I will search my local library for both books. Thanks again.
Once again, another fascinating interview! Karen and Kassia - thanks!!!
Such a wonderful interview! Thank you, Karen - learned so much!
Thank you for these wonderful “conversations” - I look forward to them!
Thank you for sharing 🤗
Great information...
Love “Let’s Talk”! So informative and interesting
Definitely want to pick up her 2 books on sewing and textiles! Thanks for this informative interview.
That was so interesting! Thank you Karen.
This by far my fave. Interview on your quilt circle. I listen to it over and over💚
I just got the book on audio and will listen to it as I work on my next quilt. Thanks for the great interview!
Quite an interesting conversation. Thank you! I learned so much.
Karen that was a FABULOUS interview with Kassia. I am now on a mission to find her book.
Have placed hold on these 2 books at library. Tx for bringing them to my attention.
Loved this interview!!!! I am learning so much!!!
An excellent and very interesting interview... Thanks so much Karen!
Kasia’s a wonderful storyteller who made me want to investigate colors and fabric history.
Great find Karen.
Great content. My mind was whirling.
Thank you Karen for this wonderful interview. My daughter gave me this book as a gift. I really enjoy it. The interview was the perfect complement
Great interview! I'm looking forward to checking out her book. Very interesting topic.
What a great interview and such a fascinating subjects. Her books have been added to my 2021 booklist.
A great interview, loved both the books.
I found this to b a very interesting story! It happens I bought Golden Thread as a Christmas gift last year. Now I can't wait to read it and get Secret Lives! Thank you for a fabulous talk.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing I love colour but at the same time shy away from colour. 👍❤️😊
Another great interview so informative. Thanks.
2 more books to add to my reading list this year! Soooo interesting!
Wonderful and interesting interview. Thanks!
Just watched this , absolutely fascinating . I have just ordered both the books :)
Very interesting...thanks for this!!!!
Wonderful, fascinating interview. I'll be picking up her books.
Compliments! I was not going to watch this video based on the summary - just didn't seem like my kind of topic - but looking over the comments piqued my interest. Absolutely fascinating. Kassia is such an interesting person and I look forward to reading the stories in her books now. You - you are a fantastic interviewer. No kidding. And a fantastic editor too as I assume you and Kassia talked about much more than was shown in the video. Seriously you seem to know where to take the conversation and ask things that interest me - things that I would have never known to ask about. If you ever tire of sewing, throw your hat over the wall for talk show host:)
That was fun!
So very interesting!!
HAD to purchase Kassis's book and put on the list for her new book.. thanks 😊
Loved this interview!
So interesting! I could have listened much longer! Great interview!
Excellent interview.
She is so very interesting! I really enjoyed!
One day driving along with my husband I saw a woman wearing what to me was just a horrible color-- a green that screamed "bury me so no one has to ever look at me again!" I asked "why would anyone wear that color?" He took that in and asked "well, what should she wear?" So I gave him my best logic and said "Purple, if course!!" -- and we laaaauughed, cuz he knows I'm partial to wearing purple. And of course, quilting and kitty cats.😌😌😍
You always have the most interesting guest speakers. When I heard you were going to have an author relative to color theory, I thought to myself, "Well, this is going to be boring and I'll probably fall asleep listening." But, I ALWAYS give it a go, and much to my pleasant surprise, I was really drawn in to Kassia. So much so, I'm going to buy her book, not only for myself, but one for a friend as well! Thank you! I can't wait for her other book...
This interview was so worth the time to watch.
I was just fascinated with this topic and Kassia that I went at once and bought both books for my kindle, can't wait to read them!
You wont be disappointed
Enjoyed this, thank you
I received her book for Christmas! Thank you for another great interview!
Enjoy
Thank you I would buy the book. Very Interesting
This was great, thank you
Wonderful, thank you
Was really looking forward to this and am not disappointed. My DIL choice the Golden Threads book as a Christmas gift and it is great. I’ll be sending her a link to this interview so she can enjoy it as well
I’m going to check out those books. They sound fascinating.
