do you listen to music while quilting and if so what kinds?

[Pam S.]

I'm with Ntrquilter and Mandysilk. I love to listen to books on tape or CD while quilting. I seem to get more done that way. I will sew until the book is done -- not getting side tracked by nuisances like laundry, vacuming or making supper. :wink: :wink:

I also love books on tape. I always have one in the car and another by my sewing machine. The library has so many to choose from. If I'm sewing I don't have time to sit and read and vice versa. If I try to watch TV and sew pretty soon I'll find myself just leaning on my machine watching tv and not sewing. Listening to books works great. Karen

I listen to Old Time Radio on Xm radio. I have one in my car and one in my quilt room. Luckily they repeat the stories so when I get really involved in my quilting i can listen to it again.

I love music while I'm working--great crashy dramatic classical music, like the Verdi Requiem--is my favorite while I'm quilting, or even earthy Rennaissance Rascal music, or bag pipes, , but I love all forms of classical music, except Tchaikovsky, and even SOME of his.

Betty Jo,
I love the loud crashing classics too!! I find that if I'm trying to concentrate, I prefer instrumentals. Otherwise, I'm following along with the words instead of the quilt instructions. :shock:
When I'm on the longarm, I like music DVDs. I have the Eagles concert from Melbourne-that's my favorite. I like being able to quilt and every now and then just look up. It's much better than trying to watch tv where I have to stop so follow what they're saying.
