Music

[eileenkny]

As I sit here and listen to Enya, I'm wondering what do you all listen to while you're appliqueing? Or...do you watch TV?
Personally, I like to keep DH company while he watches some action shows, but when I'm alone, it's "right brain" music.

[eileenkny]

Audio books on CDs.

Audio books here too. It's the only way I can listen to them and not fall asleep. :shock:

Where do you get your audio books?

Where do you get your audio books?

public library!!

Audible.com. It is an Amazon company. I download to my smart phone. I absolutely love to listen to a book and quilt either by hand or machine. I never have time to actually "read" a book.

I have a large collection of classical music cds left to my by my dear late husband who loved to collect books and cds. I listen to those AND to audiblebooks.com books when I'm working in my studio. Sometimes, though, I sit by my computer and do handwork watching TQS shows. I've been watching the older ones a bit...they are delightful!

For me it depends on the day!!! I love , love , love audio books. Download to my mp3 player for free from the library. As for music, on my Ipod I have the music grouped to dance, rock, slow. And I play it according to my mood that day. I have just joined the blog world recently and one of the most commented replies I get is on my music Playlist. I can not read blogs when the music is distracting. So on my blog, the music is at a much slower pace. But I also do not want to fall asleep!!!!
And I agree with you Eileen, when the family is around (kids home from school/husband at night) I maybe sewing but I like to be apart of what is happening and be present with them. It is All about balance!!!!

If you want to hear some of what I sew to (by far this list is so... limited to what I listen to)

I quilt to country. Nothing better than the rhythm of the machine and the steel guitars to put me in the zone. Sandi

Wide variety of music that is upbeat. Creative Mojo podcast. I watch TV while sewing on binding.

Books on tape--Fleetwood Mac--Enya--baseball games or other sporting games.

Definitely audiobooks! If I put on the tv I end up distracted and just sit looking at the tv instead of sewing. That way I can read and sew at the same time.

[kfstitcher]

I get my audio books from the local public library.

[kfstitcher]

Me too.There are so many to choose from and then they aren't sitting around here after I've listened to them.
