Who listens to music while crafting

Jim's Gem 02-25-2011 11:23 AM

I love to turn on the Ipod to my Christian music.

I have a Bose dock in my "sewing" (family) room.

deema 02-25-2011 11:25 AM

I use my ipod any time I do anything...housework, sewing, cooking, reading...

Grama Lehr 02-25-2011 11:26 AM

Me!! I need the back round noise!! I have a Bose wave / CD unit in my sewing room, love it!

sewcrafty 02-25-2011 11:26 AM

Yep!!! I do, I do!!! I listen to rock of all forms. Gets me motivated. If designing then most likely soft rock, but sewing give me upbeat rock!

bjnicholson 02-25-2011 11:26 AM

I like books on disc. I can't tune in my radio in the dining room/studio. If not a book then classical music.

Scissor Queen 02-25-2011 11:27 AM

I have a stereo in my sewing room and play cds. I listen to classic rock.

scowlkat 02-25-2011 11:29 AM

I have to have music. Unfortunately I can't get any radio signal in my sewing room because our house is mostly underground. I have a CD player but it only holds one CD. One day I am going to upgrade to a multi-CD changer.

Rock and roll is my preference although I like some of all kinds.

Divokittysmom 02-25-2011 11:32 AM

I listen to Il Divo, Josh groban, Gordon Lightfoot & Michael Buble. :-D

nycquilter 02-25-2011 11:33 AM

I listen to my iPod set on random. My taste is eclectic so I have lots of variety--classic rock (dating myself, I grew up on this), jazz, bluegrass, classic, reggae... I keep the remote control next to me so if the music doesn't suit the mood, I simply forward to the next song.

QuiltingGrannie 02-25-2011 11:36 AM

Mostly the radio is set to a local Christian station, next would be country and then classic rock.

jlm5419 02-25-2011 11:36 AM

This reminds me, I need to move the radio/cd player into my sewing room...

Ladyjanedoe 02-25-2011 11:37 AM

I have special section on my MP3 player with my son playing piano..everything from "Eensy Weensy Spider" when he was 4 up to Schumann ,Bach, and Clementi now that he's 9. I listen to that or football when it's in season.

quilter1943 02-25-2011 11:38 AM

I love Yanni when i FMQ. The tempo is just perfect for me.

Holice 02-25-2011 11:49 AM

yes i do. easy listining. i received a years subscription to www.pandora.com for Christmas. It plays through the computer. Can select the type of music you want and it will find and play that genre of music. It is great.

grandma anna 02-25-2011 11:52 AM

Always music for me all kinds.

DeneK 02-25-2011 11:58 AM

Sometimes... Sometimes I just enjoy the quiet. But when it is music, my tastes are pretty varied too. Anything from smooth jazz to Broadway to classical to Rock/Pop/Soul. Even a little country from time to time.

emerald46 02-25-2011 12:03 PM

Any kind of music...just need it in the background. I will admit to being partial to Neal Diamond and Willie Nelson...lol.

quiltsillysandi 02-25-2011 12:58 PM

Oh I have to have something on while I'm sewing....Just depends on what I'm in the mood for....Usually one of the music channels that come with Dish Satellite......or CMT

samsews 02-25-2011 01:01 PM

Pop,Rock,Country(not the bluegrass country), Especially Kid Rock.

Raggiemom 02-25-2011 01:02 PM

I almost always have music going when I'm working. Usually Celtic or classic country.

Deara 02-25-2011 01:05 PM

Depending on what time of the day, sometimes it is Biblical teachings on local radio or national radio. Inbetween, I love listening to a favorite CD called Jerusalem Arise, by Paul Wilbur. Awesome music to quilt by and most relaxing too.

Blessings,
Sandi

jaciqltznok 02-25-2011 01:07 PM

nope, it is OLD movies for me...

Aunt Retta 02-25-2011 01:24 PM

I mostly listen to movies.

darlin121 02-25-2011 01:39 PM

I listen to books on CD's.

texas granny 02-25-2011 01:43 PM

I have a CD player that hold 61 cd that hold all kinds of music. Country, easy listening, Elvis, Rock and Roll. etc

brushandthimble 02-25-2011 01:50 PM

yes, all the time, usually country, easy listening, new age.

candi 02-25-2011 01:51 PM

I do all th time, my iPod is docked in my sewing room, and i have my songs in different groups based on my mood, when piecing I like easy listening, especially for hard blocks. When quilting,especially for FMQ, I like to jam to loosen up,lol.

Maggie_1963 02-25-2011 04:12 PM

I have a portable radio/CD player on my sewing table, listen to Country and top 40.

gaby4v 02-25-2011 04:19 PM

Music is always on in my house....Rascal Flatts, Michael Buble, Andrea Bocelli, Queen....a little bit of everything!!!

bkb 02-25-2011 04:24 PM

bluegrass and gospel are preferred but then again willie nelson is welcomed!

retrogirl02 02-25-2011 04:31 PM

my music varies, depending on my mood. I listen to online streaming for the perfect mix and no interruptions.

Ooh, I like your taste :mrgreen:

Jim 02-25-2011 05:24 PM

I love silence...we have 4 grandsons alot and get our fair share of noise. When I am sewing, silence is golden but, if there is music or tv I want it to be very low and soft

Queen Deb 02-25-2011 06:05 PM

Sometimes I need it silent and I love that time. When I quilt, it's music with a heavy beatlike Lady GaGa, when I piece it's anything on the ipod or podcasts. Lots of 80's. country, stuff like Queen and Delbert.

aneternalpoet 02-25-2011 06:12 PM

I do. I sometimes have my radio playing Positive Life Radio, or my favorite song writer/ dear friend , Dennis Jernigan , playing on my CD player..

California Girl 02-25-2011 06:27 PM

Listening to music is so relaxing and allows me to forget everything else but the quilting. I play the type of music that goes with the quilt, Josh Grobin, 5th Dimension, Phil Collins, Christian. Helps clear the mind and makes the quilt blocks fly by. :)

Divokittysmom 02-25-2011 06:28 PM

Ahhh... Yanni, I forgot Yanni, love his soothing music!

susie0808 02-25-2011 06:55 PM

I love the movie phamtom of the opera. The music is phenomenal. I seem to listen to this movie over and over and over again. Look up occiasionally but listen mostly.
