i love music--even more than fabric! (blush) i seem to listen to something related to what i'm working on. if it's reproduction fabric, i go for the era--like the'30s, '40s, etc. if it's funky and modern, i go with something like florence and the machine, grace potter, gogol bordello. if it's rainy outside, i put on renaissance era music. and my default mode, lately, has been trace adkins, brad paisley, craig morgan, etc.
i'm starting a civil war reproduction, so i have to unearth some 1860s stuff, now--any excuse to get new music--or more fabric...
