    I love music in my sewing room, I found TV way too distracting for me. I love Il Divo, Josh Groban, Michael Buble`, Gordon Lightfoot to name a few. Music helps soothe out any bumps in the quilting road for me

    I listen to audio books most of the time. Today, however, I spent most of my quilting time watching quilting lessons on Craftsy as I worked. If the Lady Vols are playing basketball and the game is not televised, I listen to the game on the radio as I quilt. I get more quilting accomplished if I am listening to something.

    Mainly I play some of my old cassett tapes (Reba, Josh Groban, Statler Brothers, etc.) or cd's. No tv.
    Lots of times, the quiet is enough for me.

    My sewing machine is usually set up in my bedroom right next to my computer, so I pull up iTunes and just start whatever I feel like. Sometimes classic rock. Sometimes swing or jazz. Sometimes video game music. Depends on what I'm quilting!

    I don't. I get distracted. When I listen to music, I get very intense. I can't work and listen at the same time.

    I love listening to music while I sew but I must confess I also watch TV. If its a complicated pattern I stick with music.

    I have tons of music on my iPod, which I listen to while sewing. Classical, Broadway, soft rock, country, Christian - I love lots of different kinds of music and I always have it on when I'm home. I've never listened to audio books - I prefer to have the book in my hand and see the print on the page. But, I'm so impressed that so many of you are listening to books while sewing!!

    i am usually streaming something on the laptop. i just finished the bbc series "life on mars" and it was really good.

    now i'm watching (sort of half watching while i work) american horror story. i don't think it's all that good, but it'll do
