Quilting/Sewing music?
 

What're your fave songs, types of music, or artists to listen to while you sew or quilt?

I listen to Sirius Channels 63 (Christian) and 16 (Rock Blend). Love having background music.

When I'm cutting, absolutely nothing because I forget what I'm doing. Otherwise, good ol' rock or country. LOUD, lol

Just about anything really.... My iPod has everything from Broadway to classical to new age to country to light rock to Christian. Lately, I've been on a Broadway kick - listened to the soundtrack from "Wicked" about ten times over the weekend... Whatever it is, I have to have some music going in the background.

I have Christian music on...sometimes radio - sometimes ipod or itunes.

I listen to music from South Africa, especially the Drakensberg Boys' Choir. It has beat, jazzy, keeps me focused on fun quilting.

I listen to any "Moments of Peace" CDs by Charles Suniga

Country or Broadway....I can be loud and obnoxious while sitting alone in the house sewing when my husband is at work.

I like to listen to the hum of my machine.:)

Cathy Miller -- the singing quilter http://www.singingquilter.com/ .. Love her songs!!

i just listen to the machines work - mine and my partner's. we sit across from each other in our sewing room. it is time we got back in there!

I like Christian music, classical and new age. It just depends on my mood and the type of work I'm doing.

If I'm listening to the radio, it's classical. If I've got my CDs playing it's probably one of Rod Stewart's American Song Book cds. But most frequently it's a book on CD. Right now I'm listening to Sacrilege A Novel by S.J. Parris.

Usually nothing I like it quiet or else pop Gospel music.

I like to listen to Big Band 30s,40s,50s or good old Rock n Roll. But I also like to turn on an old Black & White classic movie. I've seen them all so many times, I don't have to watch....I just listen!

I have a CD player, TV DVD player and satellite receiver in my sewing room, but sometimes I just crave the sound of silence. Other times it ranges from Reba, to Third Day, to Queen, to Mannheim Steamroller, to Celtic Woman to Billie Holiday. I love nearly all music (except heavy metal and rap) I think it depends on what I'm sewing, and how much of a hurry Im in, or maybe just my mood.

Thanks SO much for sharing her!!

Ooooh, classic rock all the way... The Boss, Thorogood, Frampton, Segar, Deep Purple, Stewart, Jagger, et al.

I put audio books on my ipod and listen to them. I get them free from the library. I never have time to sit and read, but quilt and listen I can do.

I tape the Charlie Rose show and Tavis Smiley each weekday. So if I am quilting or embroidering, the volume is cranked up. Piecing not so much. This gives me a taste of the world outside my sewing room. Otherwise, smooth jazz or country.

Usually if I have music on I'm listening to Pandora=vocal standards, or Somebody loves somebody and sometimes Addictedtoradio.com and pick the 50s decade

It depends on what I'm doing. If I'm piecing, I will usually have the tv on in the background. If I'm on the longarm it depends on whether it's a tedious piece or a simple piece. Tedious, I'll put some Rod Stewart of Kenny G on. If it's something simple I'll put Margaritaville on the XM & dance with my machine to that Carribbean beat!

104.3 FM K-Love radio!

Had to jot some of the choices shown to check 'em out! I listen to everything from Big Band era, to Sinatra, Martin, Rosemary Clooney, 50's, Michael Buble, James Taylor, Crosby Stills & Nash, Christian music, and John Williamson (Australian).

I like silence...sometimes visitors comment on how quiet it is and look at me weirdly when I say I like it that way. Lots of people feel the loss of 'background music' I think. However, I prefer silence.

Cathy Miller the singing quilter's music is my favorite. Also 105.9fm christian rock music. Elton John and the Beatles.

I listen to books on tape/CD or have tv on.

I listen to the TV and then sometimes have to run to it to see what happened.
