I tune into my favourite music radio station - lots of tunes I know, news flashes and very little talking.

These days I enjoy the beautiful sound of silence....

I love to listen to classical music. We have a radio station here that is specialized on classical music, film music and new classics - perfect for me. Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, John Barry, John Williams, Nigel Hess, Patrick Doyle and all the others inspire me a lot with their music! :)

Dolly Parton for me, or Opera.
Our car got broken into once. The policeman laughed when I read out the list of CDs that had been taken :o

Depends on my mood, opera is a favourite but I wait until my DH is out and turn up the volume. We've recently got Netflix (not as many choices as in the US, but still good), so I watched West Side Story yesterday (needed the Kleenex).

Last week I removed the TV. Though my sewing room is big, I didn't find a good place for it. Somehow it was always in my way :) I listen to some radio stations or audio books with my radio and don't miss the TV.

I love the silence:o

I do better when I listen to music (Pandora for me! I have such a strange mix on there!) but I also use that "me time" to watch a movie that nobody else wants to watch. But I can't watch something that is good, or then my sewing machine doesn't get as much attention! So it's usually a comedy I've already seen or a horror movie!

I listen to audiobooks. I have always loved books on tape; now, the MP3 and free audiobooks online from our library has increased availability a hundredfold. I have seriously increased the number of books I read since I can double task while sewing and listen to a book at the same time. I have listened to everything from Charles Dickens to Clive Cussler and everything inbetween.

What do you listen to, if anything, while quilting?

Audio books from the library mostly. I used to listen to Old Time Radio.

I listen to pandora radio on my iPhone I can choose the music to match my mood.
